2026 Larry McClure Memorial Spring Retreat

Reel Men of God’s annual signature event, this 3-day retreat and 2-day tournament honors Larry McClure, the ministry’s founding director.

The event also includes Friday night barbecue supper and a cookout and worship service on Saturday evening. Online payment can be made below.

RMOG has reserved five 2-bedroom cabins and will cover their Friday and Saturday night rental fees.

Two of those cabins have been reserved for Thursday night, too. Thursday night rental fees are not provided by RMOG but are available at the fishermen’s expense.

Pre-fishing ends at 4:00 PM Friday. That evening at 6:00 PM, RMOG will provide supper and review rules. We’ll have a devotional time following our Saturday evening cook-out.

Tennessee Trading RMOG Summer Series

Where else can you competitively fish 22 Thursday nights for a hundred bucks? Bring a buddy and compete as a two-man team in our Summer Points Series sponsored by Tennessee Trading! 

These 3-hour Thursday night bass tournaments have a 3-fish limit. Each team’s top 7 event weight totals are added for the team’s Summer Series total. Prizes are awarded to the top 30% of teams and are determined by entry fees and sponsor participation. Each week, teams can opt to get into a $20 per team Total Weight Cash Side Pot plus a $5 per team Big Bass Cash Pot.

Don’t want to compete, but still enjoy the fellowship?  No problem; non-competitors are always welcome to fish for fun and enjoy the fellowship. A brief devotional and prayer follow weigh-in every week! First tournament is April 2nd. Series awards will be presented at the Series final event on September 10.

Registration deadline at each Series tournament is 6:15 pm with blast-off at 6:30 pm. Check-in deadline is 9:30 pm, with all teams in the weigh-in line no later than 9:45 pm, with devotional, prayer, and awards to follow. Online payment can be made below.

Note: This series is for RMOG members; guests may fish two events before paying membership dues; however, they must pay their dues prior to their third event.

RMOG Trail Tournaments
