So how was fishing at GSP and how did the event go?
We had 37 total anglers unite from all over Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and as far away as Minnesota Saturday February 22nd 2014. $1931 was raised for Mike Ernst that is running the London Marathon to raise money for the Whizz Kids Charity. We had over 50 people attend our awards banquet at the Cherokee Steak House and Marina that lasted more than 3 hours. It was the largest kayak fishing tournament that has been held in the state of Tennessee.
Over $3000 in prizes were awarded with prizes going to big fish, top 3 places to total inches, and one place to the most species caught.
The fishing was slow, but the fellowship, and fun was big. It was a great day to be outdoors with air temperatures in the low to mid 60′s and blue bird skies.
It was amazing what happened last weekend, the fellowship, the laughter, and all the smiles were worth every minute of work that was put into this. I want to thank Michael Ernst, and Craig Dye for all the help and guidance. I also want to thank my wife Sarah for helping me keep my cool when things weren't going exactly as I had planned. We made it work, and it worked out well.
Good luck to Mike and Jenn as they run in the London Marathon.

A Beautiful Day on the water ... I was the Safety boat and at the end of the day a tow boat .. LOL !!
Fishing was off, but everyone seem to have a great time ... I met some nice folks ... As far as the Event and money raised; it beat expectations !! I am Sure Mike and Jeremy will post the winners names and Particulars of the event ... Here are a few pictures ... <'TK><
Only 4 total bass were caught by all of us lol. God gave us a beautiful day to fish, that's for sure. The fishing...well that wasn't so great but it didn't matter to me. I had a great time, so did everyone else, and I can't wait to go fishing again. I feel like I need to go back to Old Hickory to get my revenge for the skunk it produced on Saturday haha.

I feel bad for people who don't hunt and fish. They never get to experience God's creation the way we do.
Sorry I couldn't make it out to meet the folks not yet met!
Believe me, anyone I would have shaken hands with that day would be upset with me today
I felt a little wimpy Saturday, so stayed near home and fished a bit. Sunday and Monday I was down and out with a 102 - 100 fever all day Sunday.
Looks and sounds like the event was a success...and nice pics, TK.
