On our 14hr drive back to Wisconsin my dad (who was the guy in the front row who won a SUF box for being the oldest guy there) commented the retreat felt more like a family reunion. I couldn’t agree more with that. We’re a community but we’re also a family.

My club had their first tournament on the Madison Chain while we were at Hartwell. They crushed it with the pre spawn fatties. Seven 20lb bags and several 5+lb bass. To put it in perspective on the Madison Chain, 3.5lbers win you tournaments and the record LM is 7lbs.

Had such a great time seeing everyone and getting to catch up with them! Thank you to everyone who makes these retreats possible. Love ya’ll, see ya next time around.
