Thank you all for your continued support of the Big Game Battle over the last 18 years. We have been honored to host this tournament since the beginning and to have been a part of the over $1.1 million raised for various local and national charities.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the friends we have made hosting this, you’ve all been a part of the BGB growth, however, it’s time for me to pass the torch. While we hope to remain in the loop on all BGB events and endeavors, I’m excited to announce that Ryan Sillery (Catch N Reese) and James Rogan (Lucky 13) and Kevin Scannell (Miss Bridget) will be taking over, starting with the Big Game Battle 2020. Ryan, James, and Kevin have been a part of Big Game Battle for 10-15 years and they have a team behind him who will support and run the event to its fullest potential. They have a list of great charities that they’re looking into and will be in touch in the New Year with updates.
In the meantime, please see attached for the Save the Date for the 19th Big Game Battle, August 6th – August 9th, 2020. All boats from the previous years will have first priority before any new boats are invited. Please forward this email to your teams & crews to remind them of this amazing weekend and let the new team know if you plan to participate.
The first newsletter will be out in January, if not sooner, with more details however everyone should reserve their slips and accommodations given the busy time of year. The Boat Basin opens up the 2020 season for reservation starting 11/1/2019. Many of you have reached out to support the event moving forwarding and hope you can reach out to the team at your earliest convenience – a little help goes a long way. Planning will start in yearly November giving the new leaders 10 months to organize for the 2020 Big Game Battle.
