🎣 Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 16th Annual Big Dog Fat Cat KDW Shootout this past weekend!

As a proud sponsor of this incredible tournament, was excited to award an additional $1,000 bonus prize to the heaviest fish caught by our Boater Member, Carl Torrenson. 🐟💰

Events like these bring together the boating and fishing community while showcasing the passion that makes Palm Beach County's marine industry so special. Thank you to the organizers, anglers, sponsors, and volunteers who made it a great day on the water!
