Thank You 2009 Custom Shootout!

The Custom Shootout is a yearly fishing tournament started by Steve & Cheryl Roy in the aftermath of 9-11 to raise money for victims and their families. Cheryl passed away on December 13, 2006 from breast cancer. Her desire and dedication to help people continues in this annual event which now donates money to different charities each year.
This years event was held June 10-13 at Harbor Islands, Bahamas.
