Do You Want To Fish In This Tournament?

Greetings! Do you want to fish in this tournament, but you're not sure how to go about setting up a boat to charter on? I can put you in contact with professional boat captains and crews to keep you entertained and competitive in the tournament. I also have a few friends that are willing to charter at a extremely fair rate as long as you enter the tournament.

If you have your own boat and would rather fish on that, no problem, there is no size restriction. I hope to see you all out there fishing for a great cause!
Until then tight lines, fair winds and following seas.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in August for your Special Olympics benefit fishing tournament.

Uncle Richard would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this charity event. Your Uncle Richard will be fishing on the Sundowner during the tournament.

To all of Captain Kenton's friends and supporters, as well as friends and family of Richard Franz (especially New Englanders and Minnesotans):

Please feel free to add your greetings to this blog!
