Anglers Quest 2007 Tuesday Series Championship is now in the books, and the Tuesday Houston Series is complete for 2007. The event began on Friday evening with the presentation of the special Trophies to the Anglers of the Year team of Greg Crawford & Jesse Johnson. They will receive free paid entries to all A/Q Tuesday Series Events in 2008. The Calcutta Auction followed and sold teams from $95 to $895 and raised $8800.00 to add to the anglers pot.
Lake Houston water was in good shape at approximately 6″ below normal pool level. The weather was really nice with clouds and sunshine with a steady 5-10 mph breeze on both days of the event as mid 60’s at daybreak to high 80’s during the days. As Day 1 got underway with the playing of the national anthem, the 25 Qualified Teams took off into the dim morning light at 6:50 am going for the $16,750.00 purse which was the payback by Anglers Quest at this Tuesday Championship event.
