Zack & Kenny Porterfield Win 3rd Annual Lloyd Kirby Fathers Day Tournament on Mayo Lake

3rd Annual Lloyd Kirby Father’s Day TournamentMayo Lake- 6/17/2023

We had the 3rd Annual Fathers Day tournament last Saturday and boy was it a good one!! We were blessed with a 55 boat field ranging from Father/Son, Father/ Daughter to Grandfathers/ Grandkids teams. This tournament has grown every year and I get the same response every year from everyone that fishes it. They always come to me at the end of the tournament and tell me that they enjoy this tournament more than any tournament they fish all year. This tournament is not about winning but spending time with family and friends with a little side of competition. When me and Jeff Brann come up with this tournament 3 years ago that was exactly what we wanted and were so happy that everyone shares our ambition to make this tournament grow.

Before we get into the tournament me and Jeff want to Thank everyone that came out to fish on Saturday!

We especially want to THANK all of the Bussineses and individuals that donated prizes for the drawings at the end of the tournament.  We had over $5000.00 worth of prizes ranging from gift cards to fish cookers and everything in between. Everyone that stayed after the tournament ended up with a door prize. That alone to me just blows my mind that there are so many people willing to step up and help out for such a good cause.

Now on to the tournament. Which the perfect weather that the Good Lord gave us on Saturday the lake fished kind of tough. Well atleast it did for me!

As for any tournament somebody’s going to figure them out and bring in some good bags. At the end of the day it was the team of Zack Porterfield & his Dad Kenny Porterfield that topped the field with a 3 fish limit weighing 14.55 pounds. Earning them a very nice two basket fish cooker donated by Thomas Brothers Oil & Propane valued at $500.00 and $350.00 cash and Plaques. They wasn’t done either! They also won the Ernest Dixon Big Fish for the tournament earning them another $720.00 cash and 2 more Plaques. The original $520.00 big fish money was pushed to $720.00 through a $200.00 donation from Kenneth Dixon and his Mother in honer of thier Dad & Husband Mr. Ernest Dixon. That brought their total to $1550.00 worth of cash prizes for the day. Awesome job guys!!!!. Yall beat some Mayo Lake Hammers to do that. They were followed by the team of Zeb Barnette & his son Zeb Barnette Jr. with a 3 fish limit weighing 13.56 pounds. That earned them $350.00We had a extra $300.00 donated to the tournament so we decided to do mystery weights. We put 6 different weights wrote on paper in a hat after the weigh in and drew 3 of them out. Each weight was worth $100.00. If your team was the closest to that weight without going over you won the money.Mystery weight!4 pounds- Ross Oliver & Emily Larabee-$100.005 pounds- Boswell & Hamlett- $100.006 pounds- Staton &  Logan Staton Staton – $100.00

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that placed!
