$10 side pot for BIG NASTY DRUM. All side pot money will go to the fisherman with the biggest Black Drum caught on rod and reel. If no Black Drum are weighed in, the money will go to charity.

Launch from any where you want, but the weigh in will be at Calcasieu Point.

50% of the pot will go to a charity for a young man with leukemia, nominated by Jared Adams, who is giving a trip to the young man.

And if you paypal the money, send as a gift.
If not, paypal will take out money and that will lower the prizes.
Paypal account: rduhon@yahoo.com
Please don't sent till it gets close to time for the tournament, in case the weather gets bad.
Or pay in person the night before, or the morning of the tournament.

We are working on a place to have the captains meeting the night before the tournament.

Jsmoke will be furnishing the weigh in equipment again this year.

So far we have 42 signed up so far. That is gonna make a good pot for the winners.
Last year we had 20-something and the first place pot was $400+.
No one won the trash fish pot last year. It all went to charity.
