Hey Ace, "you don't need no stinkin silk." That's a mighty pretty check for a great cause. Pretty work!

Thanks Fellas, we actually ended up raising $10,000 after the proceeds from the ceremony were added up. Couldn't have done it with out help from our sponsors, several coming from right here on SF.com. Boys like WAHOOKING, MARK RAY STUDIOS, FINRAZOR RODS and JPR RODS helped us to reach our goals by donating items that were used in raffles or as prizes. THEM BOYS ROCK!!!

Nicely done Ace! I did not get to fish your tourney this year, but friends who did loved it. Great idea, great cause and great execution.
Looking forward to see this event grow every year!

Thanks, I think it will continue to grow. Jeff and I are both committed to that. It is a cause that is close to both our hearts. Look forward to seeing you and your brother again. Maybe I'll get up to the Barta again this year and hang out with you boys a little.
