It's going to be won when the check is made to St. Judes! 

But for the fishing I'm going to guess Caddo!

Answer:      Caddo

[Mike Cork]

I'm think Lake O Pines has a good shot at it especially since the wind was so bad? Someone should have heard by now ?

[Bubblegum]

Answer:      Caddo

It was won on Caddo by George Hodges and David Parker.I will post weights later kind of tired right now.I did get to meet Brad{Watsjig},Nick Lebron,and Randy Deaver all really nice guys and good fishermen.

                 Thanks to everyone who participated

   I know one thing it was over 16 pounds with 3 fish. believe they got BB also 7 plus. we had 4.9. not good. Our only little good spot just got pounded by us on the REC. There was only 2 fish in there today. went from catching a 3.5 and a 2.7 to a 2.3 and a 1.5. plus they puked shad all day. prolly 15-20 in the live well.

   All fish came on spinner baits and frogs. We caught close to ten at the st jude. We missed several on frogs blowing up and coming off. little to windy so the surface was broken making it a little harder for them to key in I guess. I through a spro and laurie threw a ribbit. We did about the same. I did have one bucket mouth explode on mine but no fun. fish sparse pads in about 3-4 foot.   

Big thanks to the 40 and over club and reeves marine, another great tournament.
That little girl sure was sweet at the tournament. She deserved this and more. Her dad sit her in his lap on stage and she helped with the drawings. They took alot of pics. Don't know where they will be posted yet. Free food lots of drawings,smooth weigh in. Guaranteed prizes. what more could you ask for.  Again thanks and glad to be part of this. We can all hold our heads up on this one knowing that money went to a good cause.
