Charlie Kent Memorial

WACA is helping organize and host a tourney in the honor of Charlie Kent. Most of you knew Mr Charlie and knew that he loved helping kids and enjoyed teachin them how to fish. He was also an excellent guide and fisherman himself, but furthermore, he was just a good person in my book.
Anyhow, after his passing, several of us around Columbus and friends of Crappiehunter68, Charlie's son, decided we would host a tourney in his honor. In talking with Ch68, he said Charlie's favorite charity was St Jude's. So we decided to host this tourney and make a donation in his name. We will be collecting corporate sponsor donations for this donation and using the some of the entry fees to pay out the prize money.
The tourney will be held September 29 from 6:00-1:00 on the same lakes as the Crappiemasters Classic. This will be the weekend before the classic and will not interfere with any off limit rules. Entry fees will be $50 per boat and this will be a one fish tourney. So if you're qualified for the classic and will be on the lake Pre fishing, please try and help us out.
We will have people set up at Aberdeen, Columbus and Aliceville Lakes to take up money and register everyone. If you can't fish it and would like to make a donation, pm me and I'll fill you in on how to do this.

Thanks
Minner

By the way, this tourney is fully backed by St Jude's and we have the permit from the corp in hand.

charlie kent was one of the nicest guys and one of the best crappie fishermen out there !!!

Have it on Sardis, I'm in! ;)

Really liked Mr. Charlie, wish I had met him much earlier than I did.

No more tournaments on coe lakes!!!!

Ttt for a Great Cause and Man

If I gotta boat at that time I'm in.

is this a one-pole one-fish tourney or is it muliple poles and one fish tourney? I will probably participate but would like to know the basic rules.

8 pole limit, one fish.

I hope we can raise enough money for St Jude to sanction the event in future years. I look forward to seeing you guys there. My Mom Charlie's wife is trying her best to be there to thank you guys for supporting the cause.
St Jude was a charity Charlie supported and I can not think of a better place to send money.

Update. Met with the other fellers that are helpin with this yesterday and we determined the payout. There will be a guaranteed, no strings attached $500 payout to the winner. 2- whatever will receive prize packages that are donated by sponsors.

Had a great time today! Good seeing you guys at the weigh in and goodluck to any that are fishing next weekend.

Had a decent turnout. Thanks for those that were able to make it. We are gonna end up a tad short if our $1000 donation goal, but not by much. We had 18 teams fish. 1.91 lbs won it and that's a fairly good fish for over here. Again, thanks. We can still take donations if anyone is interested and it will all be sent to St Jude's.
