Thanks to everyone that has entered the 9th annual Steve Moyer Memorial. I wish I could be there for the event but the date change screwed me and I won't be back in town until that night.
I wish everyone that enters the best of luck.

Matt and I have been discussing this and at this point it looks like this will be the last year for the event, which makes missing it that much tougher.
The tournament takes a lot of time and effort to put on each year and while the tournament is very close to our hearts, the lack of support this year has really made us question whether this is something the kayak fishing community wants to get behind, enough to make it worth the effort.
Matt and I both have two kids and full time jobs, and with my time on the road it is very tough to make the time to work on the tournament. With the low turn out this year we question whether our time investment is really worthwhile. It may be best if we just continue to personally support the ACS and let the kayak fishing community do as they see fit.

These may just be the ramblings of frustration right now and we may change our minds but for now this is how we are feeling.

So with that, I hope you all enjoy and do well in the Final Steve Moyer Memorial.
Thanks again to all of you that have supported this event each year and have helped us help others in our kayak fishing community.

Jim Sammons and Family
