We have decided to do a tournament on July 3rd. It is a Saturday and by the look on the CFF calendar there isn't anything going on that day. This tournament is to benefit 3 Firefighter families here in Chattanooga and is being put on by Chattanooga Professional Firefighters Association Local 820. The Entry fee is $50 a boat. It will be from Safe light till 12 noon. It will be out of Chester Frost and locking through is ok. We are just wanting to help these families that help out strangers daily in their career. I won't mention any names but One firefighter's son has a stage 4 cancer, the other firefighter's daughter has a tumor behind her eye, and the 3rd is a firefighter himself with a tumor wrapping around his spine. I have a few volunteers to help out with weight in and blast off and others are lending us scales etc. I have a rod reel combo from Hamiltons that will be a door prize/placement gift. We are working with Sportmans warehouse and other places at this time for more prizes. The payout will be a 60/40 payout to first place. We are planning on have a hotdog lunch plate after/during weight-in at $5 a plate that will also go to the fund raiser. So please post on here and tell me you will be there so we can get a count of how many we will have. I will update as we get closer to the date and also repost this message ttt as well. Thanks for all who have volunteered so far and please help. Chadd
 
Hey Chadd any chance on moving the tournament maybe a week later? That weekend will be packed with pleasure boaters and I just wonder if you would get a better turnout a week later?
 
I had a Legends tournament this weekend last year and had a pretty good turn out. Looks like I will be helping in this one as the weigh master. emoAngel We will have the same format as the CFF does on the fish. SM 18 inches (one per angler), LM 15 inches and spots 12 inches. Smallest fish will be measured if questionable and no penalty if it is short, it will just be culled. This will be only a three fish weigh in since the water should be getting hot by then. Only two dead allowed and that will have a half lb penalty per dead fish so don't let them die. emoBang DD will be getting on the other details later. emoThumbsup Jmax

Keep in mind that this is a Charity tournament that is for a great cause. Maybe first will have a pay out and maybe big bass, the rest would be prizes. DD is looking for some more prizes so if anyone can help or knows of someone that can please let him know.
 
I have hamiltons on board for a rod/reel combo, Chattanooga Fish and Fun agreed for given a gift card, working on a few others.....Please pass it along......
 
I want to thanks "Hwy 58 Trophies". I have donated three trophies for this event. One for the biggest bass and two for the first place team. I took them by Hwy 58 Trophies and told the ladies there what we were doing. They gladly helped by doing all the printing and plates for the three as a donation to the cause. emoWorthy They look great. I will try and get some pictures posted. emoWorthy Jmax

emoUpsmile He says that about you too. emoPoke The only thing great about Churly is that beautiful baby girl. Thank goodness it took after his better half. emoEvil Jmax
 
Bump....

The time of this one ending has changed to noon due to the heat and stress on the bass during the last couple of tournaments. As mentioned there will be a lunch plate for $5 at the weigh-in so try to donate to the cause if you can by eating lunch there. Please help in passing the word as well. This one is the only one listed that day on the calendar so please if you do not have any plans that morning try to fish it or come by for a lunch at the weigh-in. emoAngel Jmax
