Capture the Flag 06 doubled the participation and the fun from '05. The competition was intense, the flags changed hands right up until the end of the tournament. Calvin Miller took the big prize and $2500 from Stan Miller Yachts with a 6 fish Slam of 145 pounds including a 62 pound White Sea Bass.
His win also netted him the Slam Flag, a custom engraved reel frame from Baker Reels, a Rogue Rod, an Allfishwear embroidered jacket and his pick of 20 sponsor-provided products. Congrats Calvin!
