What a day for our anglers! Out of a massive field of 123 boats, our teams put in serious work and landed some impressive weights. The competition was incredibly tight—only 1 ounce separated these two teams!
Tournament Results:
Logan Peveler & Porter Garber (Boat Captain: Chad Lander): 3 fish for 7lbs 11oz, securing 20th place!
Jaxson Pedigo & Buddy Daniel (Boat Captain: Tony Rutledge): 3 fish for 7lbs 10oz, finishing in 21st place!
Huge shoutout to our Boat Captains for guiding these young anglers to success.
We are so proud to announce that Region 1 is sending 27 boats to the State Tournament!
We are officially headed to Kentucky Lake from May 7th to 9th.
Let’s keep this momentum going!
