The power of CTF.....getting to know someone through their posts and pictures before you ever meet in person-that's pretty cool. It was nice to finally meet you yesterday.
I'm sorry for your loss of your grandfather.Your daughter made me smile just watching her casting like a champ in the back of that Ranger! Your grandfather would have been proud!

Sorry about your loss Jess. Congrats on 2nd place with your daughter. I was out there on Wednesday also fishin with my Fiance Shannon and her son Scotty and we caught about 50 bass and had a great time.
It's always nice to meet people from CTF out on the lake. We had just over 18lbs. First place only had 8 ounces more than us. We would have won if I hadn't broken off a 5 pound smallie on a dock. It was fun anyway.

hey how did you do at the Kerchal? i thought i saw you there, was going to swing by and say hello, but i couldnt find you after. also your fishing the stren northern this year as boater right? i ll probably see you up there as i am fish co-angler- Jon Stanco
I ended up placing 4th at the Kerchal tournament. We got onto the big fish too late in the day. We did better in the CT Outdoors 2 day; we came in 2nd, losing by just a few ounces. I'm heading out to Beaver Lake for the next FLW Tour event. Hopefully this will be the turning point for me. Enough with the bad luck!

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.
