In second place was Harlan Thomas, a former member of the Marshall County High School Fishing Team, who teamed up with Carl and Robert Leitchfield from Louisville.

The annual fundraiser, hosted at the KY Dam Marina, raised over $50,000 for the local charity.

Mike Love, the chapter chairman, expressed gratitude, saying:

“We have been hosting this fundraiser for 30 years and are very grateful for the continued support from donors and participants who enable us to help the local children and the users of the Ronald McDonald Houses.”
