    Thanks everybody! It was one of those rare days when the game plan worked just the way it was planned. We had our 5 fish by 1:00. The biggest fish was our first and came to the boat about 7:40. After that the other fish looked small so I had no idea I had enough weight to win. Brooktrout prefished with me and pulled a couple of keeper eyes off my number one spot (along with a mooneye that we are mailing to Brian K). that gave me the confidence that the fish would be there. MY partner for the day was Tim Bliss. Tim did a great job and had the patience to stick with the program. Thanks for the day on the water Tim!
    Congrats. also to Gator, Stickboy, Tuck and Brett for their finishes. You guys are in good shape in the point standings. Brooktrout, Jason H. and Steve are looking good in the Co. standings.
