"Fishing was tough with high winds, low tides, and cold temperatures hindered the fishing", said Tournament Director Tanner Tabor. "This was a tournament of firsts, as we had the first all female team win, and we also had our first tie for first place, which we ended up adding up first and second places, and then dividing the money between the two first place teams", said Tabor. "We want to thank all the anglers who have fished in our events and the sponsors who have made this circuit possible."
