Great Job Assistant Tournament Director Don Jahnke for handling the weigh in and blast off for this tournament.

Hawg Want A Be:

~Know Your Hawgs~

WOW!!!...Guys it looks as if our cup is running over this month for new members. I Think all three of these guys are from the old Five Flags Bass Club.
They are sponsored in by Billy Myrick but let's not hold that against them come voting night.
At the top is Andy Gunn. Andy works at N.A.S. and also likes to ride motorcycles.


Victim #2 is Eddie Franzone
Eddie is retired and just likes to fish.


Our #3 guy is Steve Meadows.
I think he is retired also.
He was warned at the February meeting not ta know Billy Myrick all that well.
He will be a shoe-in come voting night.

Welcome Aboard Guys.
