Fishing Tournament - Patriots Alumni

Annual George Pyne Memorial Stars & Stripers Fishing Tournament - Catch & Release

June 12th | MacDougalls’ in Falmouth MA

With the help of our captains, sponsors, partners, and current/former Patriots, we completed our 11th fishing tournament. The New England Patriots Alumni Club hosted the George Pyne Memorial Stars & Stripers Fishing Tournament at MacDougalls’ Cape Cod Marine Service on June 12, 2021.

It was an entire day dedicated to fishing, food, friends, and storytelling with current and former New England Patriots – all while raising necessary funds for New England Patriots Alumni Club’s mission and programs.

The anglers pushed off on one of the donated celebrity boats or even geared up on their own boats with their crew and met us out at MacDougalls. When the day of fishing was over, everyone was invited to enjoy a catered raw bar which was accompanied by drinks, live music, and good conversations. Lastly, everyone enjoyed Dale Bishop’s Pig Pickin’ BBQ at the awards dinner and celebration.

The winners for each category were as follows:

Cape Cod Slam: Harry Turner, Captain of Heavy Metal
First Fish: Ethan Barry on Cajama
Last Fish: Mark Kasok on Irie
Longest Striper: Jeff Dufficy Jr. on Heavy Metal
Most Stripers: Mark Schur on Sea Lady
Most Blue: Pete on Wizard
Longest Blue: Mike Conway on Irie

This year, our roster of current/former Patriots included, but was not limited to: Jim Bowman, Pete Brock, Rick Buffington, Rick Cash, Patrick Chung, Marcus Hackett, Ilia Jarostchuk, Ted Karras, Max Lane, Jon Williams & a handful of current Patriots players.
