Hawaii Largest Fishing Tournament! |
|
"Our tournaments are for the pleasure of the fishermen in the area and the enjoyment of our community. The people that put the tournament on are completely volunteers. All there efforts are from their hearts and always in the best intent of the rules. These rules are reviewed every year to make sure that they are up to date and as equal as possible. Everyone is human but that is why we have guide lines set in place to handle situations that come up. The big thing to remember is we are here to do our best." |
