We wanted to let everyone know that we will be postponing the High School Bass Shootout that was scheduled for the end of June.
On Wednesday, our family recently received the heartbreaking news that Alicia has been diagnosed with cancer. Right now, our focus is on supporting her and our family through the road ahead. We would greatly appreciate your prayers, love, and support during this difficult time.
We know many of you have made plans to attend, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We will begin processing refunds early next week, please allow 7–10 business days for refunds to be completed. We also expect to reschedule the tournament sometime this fall. Any anglers who were eligible to fish the tournament this summer will continue to be eligible to compete in the rescheduled fall event.
Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and especially your prayers for Alicia and our family. The fishing community has always meant so much to us, and we are incredibly grateful for all of you.
Jacob & Alicia Wheeler
