In 1994 my wife, then age 40, was diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a base line mammogram at age 39, she's a operating room nurse so knew the signs when she discoveried the lump. Lymph node involvement--given a 40% chance of living 5 years. Well 9 months of intense chemo. 4 major surguries And a heck of a job on reconstruction ----15 years later she's still going strong, and involved heavely with cancer causes, and fund raisers, her biggest is RELAY FOR LIFE. I'm glad she is still around, I AIN'T GOT ENOUGH TIME TO BE RETRAINED. A special thanks to all that help raise money for research, because with out it. YOU DON'T KNOW WHO WILL HAVE IT NEXT. And when you here a success story, remember you had a part in saving that persons life. Harry you're right on! Thanks for help saving the Ta-Ta's.

Yes a very good cause.
Last year alone they had 68 boats and 348 anglers, raised $60,000 and provided mammograms to more than 267 women.

It's a fun day out fishing with the girls. And the awards banquet the next night at Trump Marina Casino is a Blast.....

We had about 30 fish BR area, mostly in the 9 pound range. The tournament is for the 3 biggest, Ours were (2) at 10 & change and the biggest was 11 & change.

Weather they will be good enough, we will have to wait until tomorrow night at the awards banquet to find out. The girls had a great time as did we, and I heard it rained buckets all day here.
We lucked out and only had it at around 11, on and off.

Dinner and banquet was great as always.

It is a single heaviest fish tournament and a heaviest 3 Calcutta.

We placed 14th for single and 8th for top 3. 5 ounces kept us out of the money. That's how tight it was ......


Good time had by all, and looking fwd to next year, great tournament, better cause... *thumbsup*
