Adrian is well-known as one of the best Mercury mechanics in the country, and always ready to help out anyone, anytime.

Folks, Adrian has been a friend of Bass Cat Boats and the Pierce Family for over 30 years. He was a Service Trainer and Technician for both OMC and Mercury Marine. Back in the 1970s he set up those BCA Classic boats at Bass Cat and was instrumental in several boats on Lake of the Ozarks. The event will take place out of Dave Mungenast Marina, and that is at the bridge, which means on December 8th it would be an excellent location for your family to get in some Christmas shopping and participate in the event. The local outlet malls and shopping facilities are superb. There are plenty of what-knot shops and other options. BCB will be providing Life Vests, BCB Hats, Rain Gear and more to auction for this fund raiser. Pickup an early Christmas present there and have a wonderful day on the early winter water. We would be overjoyed to see a huge turnout for Adrian and that weekend there should be little competition for water on Lake of the Ozarks! We look forward to seeing many of you there!

See you in the Morning. Hope to see a bunch of you there!!

[Gary Hollander]

Thank you, Bass Cat Family and friends! The weather was cold, wet and nasty, but the response was great! Thanks to all the fishermen (almost 50 teams) and supporters (too many to even try to list) who contributed their time and outstanding items for the auction. Thanks to Dave Mungenast Yacht Club Marina, Rick and BCB, and Mercury Marine for being there and most of all, thanks to Adrian and his family. It is truly humbling to be around such a great group of folks…

Great event… I never heard the final amount raised. I was very impressed with and the items donated for the auction. A lot of good people worked hard. Great job every one who helped!!!!

[Gary Hollander]

Phil, I wish I would have met you personally at the event. Did you take a little early morning “dip”? Charlie Smith and I fished together an he was telling me yesterday about it… Gary Hollander

[Philat LOZ]

What a great event!! Wish we would have met as well. As for the dip lucky for me it was at 1:15 and we had a good limit already and only 3 miles from the weigh in. Wife met me with a change of clothing at weigh in…. never so happy to see her in my life. We even managed to get 3rd place. Again great tournament and auction it looked like they raised a lot of money for Adrain. Yell at me if ever need info on the lower MMs maybe we can hook up sometime.
