MARTINIS "HOOKa HOO" RODEO Results..........

[Ace1st]

This years tournament turned out to be another fun event for all involved. Weather played a big part in how many fish able days we had, but those who entered did get their opportunities. We did not see the numbers of boats this year but the enthusiasm was no less. 20 Boats entered and took their shot at landing the largest Wahoo, Mahi and Tuna. When the smoke had cleared, the results were clear..........

1st Place Wahoo $10,040
44.80 lb Island Girl/Jim Moore

2nd Place Wahoo
40.56 lb In Deep/John Marnell

3rd Place Wahoo
38.08 lb Fish Screamer/Danny Juell

CALCUTTAS
WAHOO Island Girl/ Jim Moore

Mahi 12.72 lb Pirate Watch/Bobby Hall

Tuna 16.64 lb Island Girl/Jim Moore

What this years Tourney lacked in boat numbers certainly did not reflect the same in generosity. The fisherman and community stepped up to the plate and helped us to raise $7,000 for the SHRINE HOSPITALS of the CAROLINAS. With several fisherman donating substantial portions of their winnings back to the cause. We want to Thank everyone involved and hope that they will join us again for next years tournament.

Pictures to follow soon................

I'm glad to hear it was a success Ace.

In these tough times it's never easy to raise money for a GREAT CAUSE like the Shriners, but you all have done a great job. Keep up the hard work.

Ace,

Congrats to you and the others who did all the hard work to put this worthy event on. And plenty of thanks for those who stepped up to the line in spite of weather and a lousy economy to fish and support the kids. Good on you all!

Sweet Ace, great job on getting it done. I am always amazed at how fishermen give back to the caused. I think were a better class of people in this case.
