Shootin' The Moon Tourney...success in the dark!

Recommended Posts

The 1st Annual Shootin' The Moon Tournament went off without any controllable hitches (mother nature not included!) and I wanted to send a thanks out to all of our participants and sponsors for making it a great success. Besides the slight on and off winds we had, the evening was almost perfect with a half moon and great temperatures. I'll post the totals taken for the tournament tonight but I believe we ended up with just under 240 fish with a big fish weigh in of 14.4 pounds!

 

It truly was a pleasure to put this on with the help of Dom and all of our sponsors! Special thanks goes out to my wife for helping keep all the details, money and paperwork organized, she really has a nack for events. Our first annual sponsors were what made this all possible so thank you to:

 

Coueswhitetail.com

Muzzy Bowfishing

Arizona Outback

Kauffman Enterprises

The Arizona Fishing Guides

Catalina Marina

Robinson Archery

 

....and to Sweet Subtle Tees for helping finalize and printing our tournament shirts, they turned out awesome! I have a camera packed with photos that I'm going through and will post a bunch more when I get them organized. Here's a few shots of rigs and the group before checkin Saturday evening. Thanks again to everyone who attended, the first of many to come! We want these tournaments to be fun and competitive for everyone and we would love to hear your feedback for future tournaments, send me a message if you have any comments or suggestions. See you all at the next one!
