This guy fished more El Cajon Ford Team Opens than any other angler… and never took home a check. Thank you John for your dedication upholding a fishing tradition Paul initiated.

A lot of work and time went into putting the El Cajon Ford Team Open together. Paul had a great team of people at the dealership helping to make his tournament last for 24 years. Thank you John & Paul for you undying support especially after Mr. Leader’s passing.

14/08/2024

There was a quiet pleasure and a sense of accomplishment finishing well in the El Cajon Ford Team Open. Paul Leader appreciated the efforts each fisherman made taking Monday and Tuesday off from their everyday lives to fish his event. He wanted to make sure everyone felt it was worth their effort.l
