I had the pleasure of knowing Christian. He and good friend Joe Behr travelled from Indiana to help with our Wilgreen Jrs. tournament after his lung transplant.
He and Joe pulled their boats down and took young jrs. out for a day's fishing. Christian was a great young man with a huge heart and unselfish understanding of what our sport is about.
His legacy will keep him in our hearts and memories.

Our Jr. Open will be dedicated to the memory of Christian Goodpaster.Rest in peace young man.
