Another fine NFGFC tournament is in the books. We had 18 boats participate. Given the iffy forecast, and wind conditions, thats more than I expected.

Congratulations to Chuck Collins, Jeff Trent and Austin Trent for the winning 13.33 pound catch, and big fish, weighing 5.50 pounds. Larry Cobb and Clayton Brunson brought in a 2.54 pound Ladyfish that won them the $100 Badcock and More mystery fish prize, donated by Jay Evans. Butch and Steve Taylor won the redfish pot with a healthy 7.85 pound red.

Thanks to everyone that participated.

Those are some good stringers for those conditions

Congrats to the Bass Boys, TinCan, and FlounderPounder and Kyle...great stringers! Enjoyed seeing everybody at the cookout and at the weigh-in - can't wait until the next one!

Congraulations to our top 3. Especially TinCan who was fishing solo and did a fine stringer.
I am too tired to write anymore for a few days.

Thanks for all of your hard work JT and TC.
The cookout Friday night was great and the tournament was top notch.
Everybody that missed it truly missed out.

Another great tourney put on by the NFGFC. Appreciate everyone's hard work who put this on. It was great seeing everyone.

Some nice stringers of fish congrats to One Keeper and Troutrent

I had a blast fishing with everyone and the cookout was awesome. Thanks to all the cooks, fish cleaners, and members for hanging out. I was surprised at how many big trout were caught under the conditions Saturday and it turned out to be a great day of fishing. Thanks JT, TinCan, CC, and everyone else for putting on a great tournament in my "home waters". BG

Great job Bass Boys. I bet catching that 5.5 lb. trout in front of the Taylor boys made it even sweeter.

Great time as always fellas.

Looks like the big boys are holding on pretty good in the St Joe.

Thanks to everyone in the tournament, we had a blast this weekend on top of the big trout we managed to boat a 30 inch cobia an got to witness Austin catch his biggest redfish to date a 32 inch mogan . With all that was going on in the bay we also got to see the pro's from the FLW Redfish Tour fishing man those guys are hardcore coming all the way from Panama City by boat. Yea birddog catching that 5.50 pound trout in front of Butch and Steve made it that much sweeter. Also got to talk to Baygator at the weigh-in and got some very important pointers for future use in the bay Thanks again for a great weekend in St. Joe Bay.

We had a great time in St Joe cant wait till next time!!

Congrat Bass Boys and everyone else that fished. Dayum skunk would not get off of my boat. Enjoyed the fish fry. Again, ya'll are top notch fisher peoples. Looking forward to the next tourney.

Enjoyed it folks! Congrats to the winners and thank God , me and CT finally had 5 fish to weigh!! Thanks to everyone who helped put it on!
