Relay for Life Bass Tournament

[ready to fish]

I spoke to Mr. Hires yesterday about getting the forms he needed and he made another donation through USA Bassin. Mr Hires has offered a one year free membership to Bassin USA KY-10 Guist Creek division to the first boat out of the money. He also said if any of his current member win this prize he will allow them to carry the membership over to the 2010 season. I also spoke to Mr. Chris Hickey at the Dept. of fish and wildlife and he said through the Dept. they will bring a tank to hold release fish in until the weigh in is over.
I would like to thank both of these men and both of their organizations for all of their support. Please be sure to look at my other post with other sponsors and please if you know them or see them at the event thank them as none of this would be possible without their support.
I want all of you to know that everybody that I have asked for help has gone above and beyond all requests.
I also wanted you to know that I got two Quantum Accurist AC570PT Burner reels last weekend that will be given away after the weigh in. There will be other door prizes given away at that time also.
Please don't forget that we will be selling lunch, t-shirts, and other items. REMINDER ALL 100% of the money taken in that day will go to the American Cancer Society. This is also tax deductable for your entry-fee so if you wright a check make it out directly to THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY.
Thanks again to everyone and I hope we have another great turn out this year.

April 4, 2009 tournament starts at 7:00am and chips must be back in the can at the ramp no later than 1:00pm. I will get to the lake at 5:30am if you want to register early. Please give me any feed back you may have and please continue to watch for new sponsors as I feel there will be a few more come on board in the next couple of weeks.
All start positions will be drawn out of a can on the day of the event.
If you know any of our sponsors please thank them for me as this would be impossible without them.
I also want to thank all of you that have supported us in the past.
***Last if you don't fish you should still come out and eat with us or maybe watch a friend or loved one weigh in.***

I spoke to Ben Bodmer today. He is the manager at Sportsman's Warehouse in Lexington. He said his store would make a donation to the tournament, but due to the current economic situation could not do as much as he would like. I told him any contribution would be greatly appriciated. If any of you guys are in the area please stop by and thank him for me. He said he would be in better condition for next years event.
You can get a Sportsman's Warehouse on line catalog or send Mr. Bodmer a message at

Thanks again, and hope to see you Saturday morning

I went out to the lake today and after lastnights rain the lake is still in very good shape.
Please don't worry about the lake condition, because it looks great. Come on out and fish.

This was a good tournament, the people were very friendly, the food was great and it went for a good cause. I encourage everyone to fish it next year.
