TO CONGRATULATE DON AND MARTHA GOODFELLOW OF GREENVILLE COUNTY ON CAPTURING THE 2011 AMERICAN BASS ANGLERS COUPLES SERIES NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives notes with pride that two of South Carolina's own, Don and Martha Goodfellow of Greenville County, netted the 2011 American Bass Anglers Couples Series National Championship, held September 2-3, 2011, on Lake Hartwell; and
Whereas, with a solid two-day effort, the Simpsonville residents vaulted into the victory chair for the top prize. The couple brought in four bass for 11.92 pounds to hold third place on day one of the two-day event but capped that catch with a 5.56-pounder that set the tournament lunker standard. On the final day, they landed a daily tournament limit of five keepers for 14.17 pounds to seal the victory with a total of 26.09 pounds; and
Whereas, in earning the title, Don and Martha topped seventy-eight other teams from fifteen states as far north as Massachusetts and as far west as Colorado. Prior to the national competition, each team had qualified to fish the championship tournament by competing in a series of events in various state divisions; and
Whereas, in addition to the title and its accompanying trophy, the Goodfellows won a trip to Hawaii; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives are pleased to pause in their deliberations to recognize and honor Don and Martha Goodfellow on winning this prestigious sporting award. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Don and Martha Goodfellow of Greenville County on capturing the 2011 American Bass Anglers Couples Series National Championship.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Don and Martha Goodfellow.
