I would like to send a thanks out to BCB and the clothing department. You guys really stepped up in helping out this year with clothing (hats and shirts) donations for the 24th annual USCG military morale event held on Lake Kissimmee Mar 6-12. The clothing and hats were well received by all participants regardless of their brand of boat. It was a huge hit and im proud to be a part of the family now for the past 12 years. Thanks again for supporting the troops and their families. From the tournament director and BC owner Richard Bates:It was really good seeing everyone and I am already looking forward to next years event. Attached is the final spreadsheet of the results. Congratulations to Kyle and his father for the win and the team of York and Bade for taking big bass honors with an impressive 10.05 lb monster. Here is a quick write-up I provided a local Lake Wales newspaper – The annual Coast Guard Armed Forces Open Team Bass Tournament was held on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes out of Camp Mack River Resort 9-11 March. Thirty-five teams consisting of active duty and retired military personnel from every branch of service caught 318 bass for a combined weight of 994 lbs over the three day tournament. The father son team of Terry and Kyle Metzger took first place with 65.85 lbs caught on Gambler burner worms. The second place team of Worsham and Wells caught an impressive 61.55 lbs using lipless crankbaits and plastic worms. Rounding out the top five were the teams of Caroll and Ruffin (3rd with 48.60 lbs), Kearns and House (4th with 44.65 lbs), and the husband and wife team of Davis and Davis (5th with 44.30 lbs). The big bass of the tournament was weighed in on day one. The team of York and Bade 10.05 lb beauty using zoom fluke. The Coast Guard Armed Forces Open Team Bass Tournament was supported by the fine companies of American Bass Anglers, Bass Boat Saver, BassCat Boats, Bass Trophies Online, Bulldog Custom Rods, Bull Dawg baits, Denali Rods, Gary Yamamoto Custom Bait, Gillz Fishing Apparel, Manns Bait Company, Penetration Hooks, Picasso Lures, Remora Holsters, Snag Proof Lures, Zoom Bait and Camp Mack River Resort. CDR Bates, the tournament director and tournament organizer specifically thanked the company sponsors and Camp Mack River Resort for their hospitality and looks forward to returning next year. He would also like to remind all boaters to wear a personal floatation device when on the water.Jason Law
