All contestants were required to use D.O.A. Lures provided
to them by the tournament committee. It is important
to note that this was a CATCH, PHOTO AND RELEASE Tournament
and all fish caught were returned to the water unharmed
(but much smarter).
All proceeds collected for this tournament were returned to the anglers ................
A fun day on the water.
