I’d like to attend this event. Do both anglers have to be military/retired? Or can the second angler be sponsored by a military/retired angler.

Looking forward to fishing this next week. I can't wait.

Wish I could have gone south for this. I have a boat, the available time off and the funds, but I couldn't find a co-angler to participate. I told my wife she needs to schedule this event for next year, so that's what I'm planning. Good luck to all the veterans! Go Guardians.

So how did the tournament go? Are there any links on the web?

I have a USCG Military Team Bass Tournament group page on Facebook with the pictures and the results. It was an enjoyable event in-spite of the cold front. I hope you can make it next year. Link to the FB group page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/519730491445176/
