For sure, congrats to the winners...Mitch and Taylor especially...those were awesome results. I was actually surprised to see your totals. At least I did not get skunked like I did last year at Clearlake. If I am to continue with this, I have some things to figure out. I spent half the time on the water rowing, and half the time drifting and fishing ...so a lot of wasted time. I have realized that it is difficult to use fins with my boat, so I did not use them this time.

I truly want to thank all of you that in some way helped me, and/or encouraged me this past Sunday. Especially, Rob Linden...you were awesome and your help with everything was very much appreciated.

I hope to see you all next month at Clearlake, but not sure for now. Like I said, I need to figure some things out. Takes me forever to just get ready to go, then to setup when I get there, then again to pack up and leave. I was so exhausted, I could barely drive home, and my back was screaming at me. But I am trying to talk my wife into going with me to Clearlake, and she would be very helpful...at least with the non-fishing stuff.
