Special thanks to Jim Peters.

Thanks. They still don’t have day 2 standings available yet. Just to show how tough the competion is in that circuit Steve Bissett is a PWT Pro and there are others too that fish it.
Thanks, Bill

Great job John!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Chappy,
Bemidji was a tough bite! Lots of guys were rigging the main lake to pick up a few fish here and there. But, we got on a descent trolling leadcore bite that produced fish both days. Had to weed thru 15-25 northerns a day but the eyes were there too!

Congrats to rigging guy on his final points standing!!

Brady

CONGRATS to ALL!

Sounds like IDa had a great showing!

I’m anxious to see the final points standings. I wonder what the delay is?

For those of you that do not know there was a death in the FLW family last Thursday and the funeral was today. I am sorry I do not remember his name but he had been with FLW for quit a while working the weigh in’s. My guess is they closed shop today for the funeral. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

The points standings are up now.The person’s name was Dick Hackbar.He was a nice guy.He was alway’s their to answer a question and chat with.Good job Eyehunter that bite was tough.I was trolling and getting a few on cranks and spinner’s prefishing.I just felt that I might beable to get some bigger fish rigging.The fish were nicer but not as plentiful in numbers.I was lucky to have two great partner’s for both day’s.The second day was a little rough on me.I feel we gave it are best.The bite was just plain tough.I cannot wait till the Championship.Thanks Mike.
