What an amazing 2017! It was a year filled with big events, fun-filled and growing tournaments and some exceptional catches. Below is a short pictoral recap looking back over 2017. We're extremely excited at what 2018 has in store. Wishing all of our friends, family and fans a Happy New Year!

With nightly parties, great fishing ,and a ton of money and prizes up for grabs, the event was a huge success and the 2018 event set for Jan 11-13 looks to be even bigger!
