The brief 2018 TUFF Derby Awards Ceremony took place November 24th at the Carolina Trace Gatehouse. Last year the weather outside was sleeting for our annual December awards event and group photo op. So this year yours truly decided to have it during the Thanksgiving holiday when the weather would be warmer and nicer. Right?? Park at the turn around, take a picture of the group with our beautiful Lake Trace in the background? 

BUT NNNOOOOO.  It poured torrential rains on that Saturday a.m. after Thanksgiving. Too soggy for that shoot, but thanks to CT Gatehouse who let us set up in their conference room! Plus many thanks to our 2018 winners who braved the weather and got together to claim their prizes and talk about their fishing adventures.

Back row: Don Facciolo (MC) with the new “Golden TUFF” Award for winning first place in all categories, including 1^st Place Bass for a 13 pound, 13 ounce largemouth caught May 27; David Zorn (SM), 2^nd Place Bass. Front Row: Sarah Bender (LT), 2^nd Place Silver/Catfish; Elizabeth Bender, 1^st Place Gold/Catfish; Nathaniel Koliba (SM),  2^nd Place Silver/Crappie; and Gabriel Koliba, 3^rd Place Bronze/Crappie. Not shown: Caroline Lee (EN), 1^st Place Gold/Bass; Waylon Cox (SL), 1^st Place Gold/Crappie.
