[PONTOON]

There are a lot of things that I look forward to each year and for the last three years one of those high on the list has been the King of cats qualifiers and season ending Tournament.:Cool:

Daniela, I just want to thank you and your staff for hosting this event and especially for making every one of us feel like royalty when we all gather together. Thank you for some awesome food and comaraderie.
I know how hard you work putting this event and all the other events together and I'm sure that you are already setting your sites to make next years King of Cats Tournament even better than this one along with every event you are planning in the future.

Thank you Daniela! You are definitely "First Class" and well respected.:Thumbs Up:

Congratulations to Brandon Woodward for taking the crown this year. You and Blake have set the lake on fire this season. I've got a feeling everyone better look out for Team Woodward during the upcoming trout season.
Congratulations as well to the top finishers as well as everyone who qualified for this years Tournament.

Speaking on behalf of Team trolltoon, trolly and I commented on what a great group of people the King of Cats had participating. From the very start of the night we had a great time bantering back and forth with the contestants and it was cool that everyone there wished each other well before heading out for the marathon night of fishing. Then once we all made it back to the tornament tent the comaraderie was still strong as everyone talked about the evening, the ones that got away and what a great time we all had.
It was fun talking with old friends and meeting new ones and we can't wait for next years "King of the Cats":Cool:
