Thank you to everyone who helped or fished in the event. It was way bigger than planned but you guys stepped up to the task :grin: Everyone one of you that helped should be feeling really good about what you gave today :thumbup:

The rain held out until after the cleanup 8-) 8-) and all went like clockwork. The fishermen caught a good mess of fish. I am sure Coach14 can give us an idea of the number and total weight since he did the fish cleaning. Coach14 I owe you ------ but you owe me because I volunteered Robby for the "acting" in front of the video camera :lol:

Again thank you from Darren but mostly from the fishermen and their parents/guardians. Didn't it just make your heart melt when they all shouted "THANK YOU" at the same time :?: It just makes me want to do more for them and show my appreciation more to them. They are an inspiration to me every time I am with them :thumbup:

I have put together a short slide show at the link: http://www.coa-neto.com/2010AdultFishResults.htm

Fish on :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :|

My guestimation is there were 12-14 catfish cleaned and bagged for the participants, with the largest being in the 3-4 lb range.24-30 lbs of fish were caught.I had no scales so that is my summation.It's a blessing being able to put smiles on faces!Also got to put faces with the new avatars.(Grandewhit,Herndon,and Darren's Son inlaw.)Life is good!

Pretty cool, Darren!

Coach, you did a great job cleaning as usual.

Much thanks to Brian and his family. Not only did they allow us on their property and in their home, but they worked the tails off, cooking and serving! What a blessing to get to know them a little better.
