C&R Mechanical Company hosted its 16^th Annual Fish & Fun Tournament on Saturday, September 25^th at The Flame Resort in Camdenton, MO.

This year, thirty-two fisherpersons participated (sixteen boats).  Participants included employees, vendors and customers.  The tournament included a morning/afternoon of fishing, an awards and attendance prize ceremony and a buffet-style dinner.  Others in attendance, who were not interested in fishing, enjoyed an afternoon golf outing or took advantage of the many attractions that the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer.

Ken Hartmann and Ken Talley were our tournament winners this year and Greg Naes took home the “Big Bass” prize for his six pound, four ounce, catch.

Although the fisherpersons reported that they would’ve liked to have had a few more bass on the line, the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all.

This tournament was funded solely from participant registration fees and donations from vendors and customers.
