"I wish!" Wishing is for little kids on Christmas and birthdays, Jess. From everything that I've read here and your other posts, you are seasoned enough at this sport called bass fishing to put that wishin stuff behind you. Reach into that tackle box of experience, grab a big ole lure called confidence, haul it out there and stay focused. Pick up that big, stupid oversized check, smile for the camera and bring it back home so we can all share in your glory! Now, is the time. Mark
Don't doubt in the dark what you learned in the light.
pffffft!!!!! Id rather have that "stupid" check than any piece of metal/wood they call a trophy! I cant speak for Jess, but when i dream of fishing in one of these tournaments, it ends with me holding a BIG FREAKING CHECK!!!
Your due jess....Take it down!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I drew out with Brent Ehrler for the first day of the tournament. I have mixed feelings about my draw. Brent is on my fantasy fishing team because he's an awesome fisherman, and I know he's on some fish. I know this because I'm good friends with him. He travels with Gabe, so I see Brent everyday. I didn't want to fish with either one of them. They're fishing for a million and any one fish could make the difference; I don't want to take that chance from him. Brent didn't want to draw me either, so it was mutual. I guess we'll have to make the best of it! Maybe it will end up like the Everstart that Steve Mcgahan and Mark Mcneil got paired together and both smoked them. This is my last chance at a Co-angler title; I want to win this one bad! Show me the money! That's right Dusty, I too want the money. How else am I supposed to pay for the gas to get to Thousand Islands.

I think I ended up in 16th place today. I only caught 3 fish for 5-10, but I guess that was good. It was tough fishing; I only had 4 bites all day. Brent had 6 and ended up with almost 12lbs. I did have one fish smash my toad and not hook up. Brent and I had fun and both of us are within striking distance of the cut; I need about 7 lbs. I'm fishing with Kevin Vida tomorrow, who I am also good friends with. I used to practice with him when I was fishing the Southern EverStarts as a Co-angler. Vida is in 2nd place with 17+ lbs. He's fishing shallow like Brent was, so maybe I'll get lucky and catch a few good ones again. I'll settle for tenth place tomorrow; once you make the cut your weight zeros so it's a one day tournament for 50K. All you have to do is beat 9 other anglers! I'm not sure how tomorrow will play out, but I'm excited about the possibilities. I'll leave you with a scene from earlier today when Brent was fishing for the ever elusive fresh water dog fish.
