I didn't have any internet service at the cabin we were at in Arkansas so I was unable to send any posts. I fished the FLW Tour event on Beaver Lake and did pretty good. I missed the cut by just 9oz placing 17th. I only caught 4 fish the last day; a 12" fish would have put me in the cut. I was able to fish this tournament for almost nothing. I used my skymiles from all the flights I took last year and got a free ticket into Little Rock airport. My buddy Scott Suggs lives about 15 minutes from the airport, so when I got in he came and picked me up. It was nice not having to spend the money on a rental car. I went and stayed with him at his house for a day and then we headed up to Beaver Lake. Practice went really good; I didn't have less than 10 lbs any day during practice. I caught a decent limit on the first day and was in 28th place. I knew if I could catch about 6lbs the second day I would make the cut. Not this time! I was so close yet again. I won $1400 which would usually just cover my expenses, but since I had a free plane ticket and was traveling with Suggs, I only had to pay the $350 for the cabin. It was good to be back at the top again. It's been awhile since I felt good about a tournament finish. I'll post some pictures from the lake when I find my missing firewire cord.
