There are some exciting changes for the 2014 Full Throttle Fishing season, payback to the tourney angler increase to 100% of entry fee’s based on cash and prizes! At each event this year we will be giving away a brand NEW MATTHEWS bow at the pre-tournament dinner meeting sponsored by Flatline Outdoors, Full Throttle, and Pete Hein. Included in the package will be a shooting lesson and free set up lesson with pro Pete Hein. Trophies are sponsored by Lindner’s Angling Edge T.V show for both the bass, walleye, and big fish winners. This year is going to be about giving back to the fisherman there fore increasing participation.
Each Full Throttle event will have something special for the kids. A NPAA Future Angler Foundation event will follow each regular scheduled Full Throttle tournament weigh in. Special thanks to NPAA pro’s Tom Davis and Kirt Hedquist for hosting the kid’s event. 15 rods and reels will be given away at each event along with lots of door prizes along with a fishing basics seminar and watching out for invasive species.
Full Throttle also includes Ranger Cup money to each of the regular season events as well as Rapid Sport contingency money to any team that wins an FT event.
