I would like to thank all of the anglers that came out to fish the tournament, it was a great turn out and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Also, I would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped with the planning and execution of the tournament without each and everyone of you it would not have been successful.

We have already started the planning for the 2015 Ancient City Game Fish Challenge and hope to see each and everyone of you back next year. We had fun this year and will definately continue that next year.
