That's what I am talking about! Ryan if you need any help with keeping points totals let me know. I would be more than happy to make a spreadsheet and update it after every tournament. Shoot me a pm if you want help...

The original reason these tournaments were started by Kevin and continued by Jarred and Lenny is to meet new people and have fun. I appreciate Jim allowing me the opportunity to try and carry on this tradition. If anyone has any questions or concerns please feel free to ask on here. If you want to call me I am available anytime.

These will be ran essentially the same way as last year. One of the major differences is the fishing hours so please make note of those. Also there will not be anyone at Bucksaw the morning of to accept entries, it is outlined above in the rules.

Thank you for taking this on.

I like it! Good ideas on the rule changes this year should make for a good year. Appreciate u taking this on!

texting to pre-register the morning of the tournament is a great idea!

Thank's ryan sounds good
