[stratos19ss]

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to post this for the guys who participated and anybody else who wants to know.

Yesterday myself and a group of others took 10 United States Marines out on Lake St. Clair for a mini tournament.  These high ranking warriors flew in from all over the country to participate in this event.

I want to thank the sponsors who made this event a HUGE success.

Fish T4- fisht4.com donated a membership to each of the participating Soldiers - now they can enjoy discounts no matter where it is in the world they may be stationed.

Ken, Terry, Todd, and Joe made sure these guys were stocked up with the hottest tubes, worms and Jig heads all packed in some really nice Plano boxes - THANKS A MILLION!

Downriver Lawn & Landscape - Ron Salisbury brought the much needed coffee in the morning.  Thanks for waking us up Ronnie!

That was cool.  I saw all of you guys when we showed up to launch.  Hopefully, you did better than we did.  It got rough quick, didn't it?

Cudos to all who  set up and helped out for a great cause  !!!!!!!

it got a little bumpy out there.  It seemed like big boat after big boat just kept cruising through.

I was sitting on the mile roads when the wind really kicked up.  I felt like I was on Lake Michigan for a minute.  Hey, were you the guy who was trying to do something with the coffee maker in the bathroom?

No, that wasn't me, that was Ron Salisbury. 

[Mike S.]

Oh, that was the guy I talked to.
