The fishing tournament was on Lake Hamilton and included 100% payback, the winner received $40,000. It was a three day tournament started on Friday and ended Sunday.
Tony Sheppard and Mike Sheppard won. Zeke Anderson and John Soukup took second. And in third were TC Lloyd and Chris Bushart. Congrats guys, Lake Hamilton is certainly a tough lake. I understand that these three teams were the only three that caught a limit each day.
Cevans brought Billbob down all the way from Indiana. Creekslick had a booth there as well. It was great to see the guys and get their support.
Billbob was off doing his usual schmoozing. At right is David Baynard (with Gina at left). David is a good friend and runs Driftmaster Rod holders.
Here's the Crappie.com A-Team. See the light at the far right which Redge brought. That light has a remote to change all sorts of things on that light. It was way cool. We raffled it off. Thanks for all your support Redge. Support those that support us, see Reflective Edge for all your signage needs.
"G" got to meet my writer buddy and good friend Ron Wong. Great guy, both them, and both Vietnam War Vets.
Jam Ferguson with the TN record Black Crappie. It's over 4 pounds. Wow that was a nice fish, as was Jam. Great guy, congrats Jam.
Got to catch up with John Godwin of Duck Dynasty fame. Another great guy. He makes me want to grow my beard out like his. Hmm, I may just do it. I'll see how long it takes for wifey to notice! lol
And this guy needs no introduction. What a great event he put together. Like I said, I can't wait till next year. A bird told me there's a chance it might be held in Mississippi. I think a couple other states are being considered as well.
They even had a big fish tank that I wanted to go fishing in so bad! lol
And entertainment as well. Jason D Williams was awesome. This is not my video, cause the video I took did not do him justice. I thought I'd find something else on Youtube that showed you his real talent. He was good. I made the event so much more special.
