"Get The Net" Big Game Fishing Tournament
Testimonials
Dennis,
Once again - Thank you and a job well done by all!!!
New format is great. I think this helps make the tournament more challenging (and fun), every team really has a good chance on the second day to make the top spots. Calcutta prizes are also wonderful. There were 3 additional teams that made cash that would not have normally, like one of the teams placing 3rd on Sunday but only 11th out of 14th overall.

Dennis,
As per usual the tournament this year was great and a lot of fun. My wife really enjoyed herself and it was nice to be able to give her that time to relax. Another great trip. I look forward to 8 days next year.

Another great time. Like the new format. Really liked the new accommodations. My team had 2 really good boats and crews.

Hi Dennis,
If it is not too much trouble could you send me a copy of your rules. A
two boat group is asking for a model for a fishing tournament and your
tournament is the best all around tournament I know of. I know you worked hard to
put all of this together and I wouldn't ask if these guys were out to make $$
on your ideas and hard work. I'm sure this is a one time very small event
and it will save me a bunch of time to copy and paste rather then think and
write.
Thanks,
Steve

Just a note of appreciation for the outstanding job you did in organizing this years tournament. Things ran like a Rolex watch. I had a great time and met a lot of great new people. I'm already holding April 25th, 2007. Also, If you send me the recipe for the Mahi Mahi Pate'. I need to make some.
Thanks again - Tight Lines to you!

Dennis,
Best time I've had in a long time. Many thanks to you for all the effort you put in the tournament. I look forward to next year. Many thanks to Don Cunningham (whose Amberjack record fell this year) for inviting me and talking me into it. Are we looking for additional fishermen for next year? I believe I can recruit a few.

Dear Dennis,
Wow, once again we want to thank you for a great time. You sure know how to host a tourney. You are the man! Wait a minute... Kenny Oakes is the man!! Between the two of you, I ate well!! Thanks so much for the Wahoo. I am starting to think my boys on team Que Pasa are secretly PETA people (Yes, the SAMMY award cooler from last year came in handy... again... ... SIGH!!!) God bless and see you next year.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for a great trip. It's hard to improve on perfection. I liked the cocktail parties and the resort.

Dear Dennis,
Just wanted to write you to let you know that Glen and I had the "time of our lives" at the tournament this year.
As you know, Glen is one of the originals and this was my first time. Glen will never again go on this tournament vacation alone after taking me this year. Boy did he wreck a good thing!
Dennis I was amazed at what an OUTSTANDING JOB that you do for this fishing tournament. Everything ran like clock work and everything was FIRST CLASS from start to finish. It far exceeded ANYTHING that I could have ever imagined. From the cocktail parties to the box lunches to the final reception/dinner banquet.. it was "top notch" all the way.
The greatest thing about the whole trip was that NOT ONCE did we have to do ANYTHING but show up at the scheduled events. All of the organizing and planning was in your hands and what a spectacular job you did!
We met so many wonderful people at this tournament that we hope to stay in contact with for years to come.
I will HIGHLY recommend this fishing tournament to anyone and everyone that I come in contact with.
Again Dennis, thank you for the BEST vacation that we could have ever hoped for!

"Dennis,
2004 was one of the best years yet. Congratulations to you and the committee for putting on the most enjoyable tournament I've ever been involved in. The organization of the tournament is first rate and even rivals that of open heart surgery. All of our new fishermen had a great time and are looking forward to next year".

"Hi Dennis,
Find enclosed some pictures. We had Picture, Picture done so you can keep them. Maybe use one for the 'Big Game Tournament Guide' next year. After going through them I can't wait for next year. Talk to you soon.
Enclosed also, a deposit for next year."
Jerry and Yvonne Nowicki / Armada, Michigan
"Dear Dennis,
We're in, we're in!!
Here's our deposit for next years tournament. If you could get us the same room (415) Tower Building, that would be great. Looking forward to next year. I'm enclosing a picture of Dave Shurman. Maybe you can use it for the back cover of the 'Tournament Guide'. Thanks for a great trip."
Sincerely,
Laura and Dan Nebel / Clinton Township, Michigan
"Dennis, Ken and The Gang,
Thanks for the opportunity to experience the Keys and some great fishing with a fine group of fellas. Greg and I appreciated the hard work you put into coordinating this event. Have a fine summer in Michigan."

"Dennis,
What a great fishing trip! We don't care if the tournament is an invitational or not as long as we get to fish in it. We liked the prize set up."
