Wow, What a week. Sorry I am just getting to this, but I have been upside down. I had a good time in KS City, but wished I had been fishing with all of you.
There are so many to THANK.
Don't know where to start. Well, first. want to say thanks for all that fished and to all that played their part in making the tournament a success. Words can't even describe how much I missed all of you. Fishing the Nationals and being with my family, all my friends, and NBT family is the highlight of my summer, and I missed that. I/We got through it. I do want to say congrats to Brent and Dakota. Great job to yall and the top finishers.
Want to thank;
Joy Nolan, at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, I have heard nothing but possive responses from everyone. The meals, rooms, meeting rooms, personal, all was given an A plus rating.
Scott at the Sports Authority for the sponsorship of the meals. Everyone talked about how good they were and the personal that served them.
Donnie, Joel, Ray and Cheryl, Bob, Carol, and all the other Directors that helped. Without all of you this tournament would not have been possible.
The anglers, both the adult and juniors, yall are the most important factor of NBT. Without you, NBT could not and would not exsist.
All the sponsors, so many to mention, sure I will not get them all but, West End Outdoors, Secret Weapon Lures, Papa Johns, Tight Line Jigs, Kaine Story, David's local sposor--can't remember their company name, and all the local sponsors that help in all the local districts.
Special thanks to David Lowrie. If you don't know, he worked his butt off (well wouldn't carry it that far) to make this National one of the best for all the anglers and their families. He spent countless hours and time trying to get give-a-ways for all anglers to enjoy.
I am sure I have left out someone, but I really appreciate all that everyone did to make the National event a success.
We (Board Members) will be working on the all the concerns stressed at the general meeting. Your thoughts counts. We want to make NBT the BEST tournament trail available to anglers.
