A cloud of sorrow hangs over Smith Lake in Cullman County following a devastating multi-boat collision this past Wednesday morning. The accident, which occurred during a Major League Fishing (MLF) tournament, has tragically claimed at least one life and left several others injured. MLF confirmed the grim news, stating that one of the individuals involved was a professional angler. "Major League Fishing (MLF) confirms that a serious boating accident occurred this morning on Lewis Smith Lake during Day 2 of the Tackle Warehouse Invitational. The incident involved one of the event's competing anglers, Flint Davis of Leesburg, Georgia. Emergency personnel and local authorities responded immediately and remain on scene managing the situation." They added, "Out of respect for those involved, and to ensure the accuracy of all information, no further details will be released at this time. MLF is working closely with law enforcement and emergency officials. Additional updates will be provided as they are confirmed by the appropriate authorities." Alabama Senate Pro Tem Garlan Gudger (R-Cullman), who himself experienced a serious jet-ski accident last summer, shared a message of support and prayer. "We wanted to let the families know, the people that were in the Major League Fishing wreck on Smith Lake, that our prayers are with you and your families," Gudger said in a social media post. He continued, "We know what that is like... How tough that is, not only on those people who are there, but also on their families. We want to make sure that they know that we love them and that God is with them. We're continuing to pray for them, and it's heartfelt that we are with them." The fishing tournament has been cancelled in light of the tragedy. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is now leading the investigation into the cause of the accident. MLF has promised to release further details as they become available. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this heartbreaking incident.Tragedy Strikes Smith Lake: Fishing Tournament Halted After Fatal Boat Crash

A Local Leader's Heartfelt Message
Tournament Cancelled, Investigation Underway
Get ready, ChumCity! Alabama might soon be seeing ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails popping up on grocery and convenience store shelves. The Senate Tourism Committee just gave a thumbs-up to a bill that could make it happen! State Sen. Bobby Singleton's SB268 is paving the way. The bill defines "mixed spirit beverages" as those single-serve cocktails with 7% alcohol or less. Forget needing to hit the ABC store; these could be sold with a new licensing setup. Well, there's a small tax – 3.5 cents per ounce, which is about 42 cents for a regular 12-ounce can. Suppliers would also need exclusive sales territories and distribution deals with licensed wholesalers. A new excise tax is in the mix too, with the money split between the state and the ABC Board. Some folks, like State Sen. Rodger Smitherman, are a little worried about how this might impact the ABC Board's revenue. "This, in essence, is going to diminish their ability to provide that level of revenue for the state,†a senator mentioned. But he’s willing to "take a chance" on the bill. The bill is now heading to the full Senate. If it becomes law, expect to see canned cocktails alongside your usual beer and wine in stores starting October 1, 2025. Cheers to that!Alabama Inches Closer to Canned Cocktails!
