tournament or at the King Buster, so if you want
your fish entered you need to submit a Fish Entry Card. You can mail them or bring them to the
meeting and we will accept them.
A reminder, only dues paid members may submit entries. The “grace” period ended at the Membership
Party.
Kingfish Challenge

are posted on the web-site. How about
the 53.20 lb King caught on the No Limit / ATT
Real Yellow Pages boat! A new tournament record. Also the Junior Tournament
produced some very nice fish. Kevin

Play Toys and First Coast Trailers. There were 168 junior
entries and 240 boats in the general tournament. Donna, James and Linda
and their crew did a wonderful job.
