HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — REDCREST competitors, Bass Pro Tour anglers and other members of the Major League Fishing family swapped their typical jerseys and caps for suits and dancing shoes Friday night at the annual Thunderbolt Ball. The U.S. Space and Rocket Center served as an out-of-this-world venue for an evening that included a red carpet welcome, dinner and a moving speech from reigning Fishing Clash Angler of the Year Jacob Wheeler. Check out the best outfits and other snapshots from the celebration.
