Sam Crosthwait Memorial Tournament chairman Rodney O'Quinn, left,poses with tournament originator David Fulghum
Twenty-five years ago, David Fulghum had the idea to start a local tournament geared toward families.
It had been a long time since Fulghum had attended a Crosthwait tournament, but committee members finally talked Fulghum into coming out.
His presence was appreciated. From his wheelchair, Fulghum had the opportunity to scan the audience, the entire operation, and witness what the tournament has grown to.
Fulghum fell in love with fishing when he and Bradenton Yacht Club members traveled to the Keys to fish. To this day, Fulghum's favorite fish to catch is dolphin (Mahi-Mahi).
