I would like to congratulate all the folks in this fine organization for their continued conservation efforts in fish care . Losing only 16 fish in a two day tournament with well over 1,000 fish brought in is OUTSTANDING ! My speeches at your dinners and your obvious commitment to achieve success is almost overwhelming . I wish every organization had your vigor and would listen to logic and science like y'all do! Again , congrats and a big pat on the back . You deserve it ! Also , thanks for allowing us to do your weigh-in fish care . We really enjoyed it and seeing you all again ! Hopefully this will become a regular thing with your championship !

Thanks to Carl for taking time to come speak at our banquet and for his assistance at the weighin.  Very professional 'no touch' weighin and handling of fish.
