Who'd a thunk it ... Brooklyn makes a big splash on the US casting scene. With the arrival of the Brooklyn Bombers , New York adds it it name to another location with some big hitters. Big Sportscast welcome to Troy, Kenny, Steve, Billy, Chris and Fernando.

Thanks to Kwesi Walker for donating four mag kits. One kit went to the contestant with the longest cast and we had a drawing for the remaining three. The winners of the drawing were Fernando Riverea, William Wall, and Rolland Johnson. PM or Email me with your address and will mail you your kit.

Congratulations to Tommy Farmer for winning the event with the longest cast and breaking the record for the 150 gram weight with a cast of 831 feet.

Congratulations to Rich Hendenberg for setting a new record with a cast of 691 feet with the 125 gram weight with an OTG cast on a spinning reel.

Also, congratulations to Troy Roberts who made a cast of 827 feet with the 150 gram weight and this is only his third tournament.

Thanks to all the contestants for a great weekend of casting and sportsmanship and a special thanks to everyone who helped with setting up the court, measuring the distances, and serving lunch on Saturday.
