43rd Charleston Trident Fishing Tournament - Awards





The awards for the 43rd Annual TFT was held at the James Island County Park. Local fishing clubs took turns at the podium announcing their 2010 tournament dates, and donating checks to the TFT. Winners of individual categories received a plaque and a TFT fishing towel, while other winners were voted to be "best in their class" by TFT committee members. TFT treasurer Mike Able said, "I have been working with this group for 20 years and the Trident tournament has been very steady, and things look great for the future." Anglers that catch a sizable fish can elect to weigh that fish at a registered scale (like at Haddrells' Point tackle) and submit that entry to the TFT. The 2010 Trident tourney is already underway! Congratulations to Dow Suggs for his first place photo of son Cole holding a triggerfish.
