(Jul. 27, 2009 - Montgomery, TX)... Anglers Quest 2009 Conroe Saturday Series #7 out of El Dorado Jack’s in Montgomery, TX began this event with 28 teamed anglers showing up to fish for the $1890.00 purse.
The event began at safe light, which was 6:00 am following the playing of the National Anthem. Weigh in was conducted at 3:15 pm. This Conroe Saturday Series after all 9 events will provide the Team Anglers of the year with free entries to all 2010 Conroe Saturday Series events.

All Anglers Quest Championships include Calcutta auctions which builds the Championship purse to some very nice $$ to fish for, for a very small entry fee of $155.00 per team.
