My boat and VET team won the 2016 TAMCO Foundation VET Division. My anglers were Tim Ellfson – 2nd from the left who won largest Redfish 31″ and the slam 72” (Snook, Redfish and Trout) and Marlon Walter also in the back row 4th from the left. They said that had a blast and they both were so grateful that the TAMCO Foundation sponsored there fishing charter. Tim told me, even before he found out he was the winner, that it was the best day of his life! It was very humbling. I felt so good to help make this day a special day and one to remember for a couple of our VETS. They have done so much for us…. God Bless them and thanks to the TAMCO Foundation and all our Sponsors for providing a fantastic day for our Veterans and Wounded Warriors. Please feel free to use the post for Facebook or TAMCO.
Best Wishes and Tight Lines,
Capt, John Paiva
