The event was organized by club member Chad Weyker. The check-in opened at 6:30 p.m. with the competition starting at 8 p.m. There were 10 vessels (most with two competitors) who headed out for some frog gigging competition from the Boars Nest airboat camp. The final weigh-in was just prior to 11 p.m., back at the camp. Past club president Bruce Ward manned the grill, cooking up some food for all the participants as they were returning.
