Tampa Bay Gator BCN Alumni Club
The Tampa Bay BCN Gators held their 2nd Annual Fishing Tournament
on Friday, October 2nd out of Hula Bay Waterfront Bar
& Grill in Tampa. The tournament was successful in raising over
$6,500 for the School’s Endowed Professorship Program, which receives
matching funds from the State. There were 13 boats and 48
anglers who competed for over $2,000 worth of prizes awarded to
the top three teams with the longest combined three species of fish.
First Place went to Team Melville (75”) - Mike Ferguson, Clark
Wright, Alex Hunt-Branch, Mike Perez; Second Place went to Team
JE Charlotte Construction (69”) - Jeff Charlotte, Justin Burkhart,
Andy Smithers, and TJ Stewert; Third place went to Team Power
Design (62”) - JR Norris, Chris Bayer, Matt Britten, Lauren Caby,

0.00” worth of tournament qualifying fish…a record low!
