Brandon and I were just talking about the MAW the other day. Team Hanna is planning on being there. Team Hanna jumped on The Aluminator last year with Dennis and had a blast. But we're planning on having Hanna ready for this year to play with the rest of the Private Boaters out there. Fishkiller "G" is growing like a weed and has perfected his fishing skills 10 fold in the last year. So the Jr. division better look out. :D This event is always a lot of fun, it's a great cause...............and the people behind the scenes that run everything are the best. If you haven't participated in the MAW, never fished a tournament and love to fish............this is just perfect for you. A chance to help the kids and a banquet for lots of family fun.

It looks like I will be in town. If so, I will get Ray off the dock.
We could alway use some who can actually catch a winning fish.

I'm looking forward to finally making this tournament.

Who's going to help me pay for fuel? :D

Never been in the game but I think I can help. I might also be able to help on the catching thing sometimes I get lucky. Let me know. Won't be around for a few days on the Vagabond tomorrow for 5.

My 15 year old is a cancer survivor. He was diagnosed at the age of 4 with a cancer that was treatable surgically. It was five years of hell stressing every follow up CT and MRI hoping for good results. I am sure the whole experience took a couple of years off my life. It is something as a parent that you never forget or really get over. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about it. We were lucky. James made out very well and fishes and hunts with me even as a 15 year old. Many kids will not be so lucky. Don't think for a minute it could not happen to you as a parent. We will fish the Make A Wish. We do it every year for the kids who really do need for their wish to come true.
