Hi Everybody!!
First I want to say thanks to Will and his family for their hospitality over the weekend. Will went out of his way for me and it was greatly apprectiated! The history lesson I got about shark fishing from him was amazing! It truly had an empact on me that makes me love this sport even more!
I thourghly enjoyed the Awards Ceremony!!! It was great meeting everyone there. Hearing the stories of all the sharks caught and missed during the tourney. I'm very proud to have had you all share those stories with me. I feel that my level of sharking was raised just by talking with you guys. Even after 20years of sharking I learned more than I thought possible in one weekend 
I Truly appreciated how accepting you all were of a "out of state" guy joining the party!
Will the Gifts, Trophys, Prizes were more than I ever expected....just awesome
Thanks to all and I hope to fish with you guys sometimes but if not I will see you all at next years ceremony!

P.S. The 14/0 tug war 
It is not often we have the chance to spend time with a shark fisherman of Troy's caliber as well as one from out of Florida to our Awards Ceremony but we are sure enough glad you made it down .
Troy is a very special person and a great shark fisherman who we can all be proud to have in our tournament and as a friend . I for one one will not forget the time we shared together and all the shark fishing stories .We hope to have your whole team in south Florida with us next year so we can hand off a whole lot more trophies but it may be a bit more difficult as each year passes the shark fisherman are getting better and better.Thanks again troy and thanks to everyone who helped make this such a great tournament.
