Shawnee Muskie Hunters Fall Brawl

The Fall Brawl Tournament was held at Lake Kinkaid on October 19th and 20th. Overall, participation numbers were low but we all had a great time. Saturday morning was cool and wet and Sunday morning was a bit chilly as well. The Saturday evening banquet was held at the VFW with food catered by Annie Mays. Dinner was delicious with fried chicken, pasta, salad, mashed potatoes, veggies, iced tea and desert. A total of 22 fish were caught, 15 on Saturday and 7 on Sunday.
