You forgot to remind me to take a pic of you Rich! :D

I'll keep my report short and sweet. I knew right off where I was going to go and hit Jay and Benno's hot flat (since they both were not able to fish :-( ) where I got a good one the weekend before. About my fourth cast, wham, 1st in the livewell. About 10 min later #2. Worked the cove next to it and lost a solid keeper, damn. A bit of time elapsed but then got #3 on the blade again. #4 came fishing close to William and #5 came off a shallow stump with a senko. Went to Brush to see what those other guys were doing and only Binh seemed to have much going with 4 keepers in the well. On the way out some bass were pushing the shad onto shore and nailed my big one of the day on a small lucky craft. Cool, 6 in the well (two were already with my partner). Came back to a long point and lost another solid keeper with a lucky craft, damn, thought to myself if I lose a place by a couple ounces I'm gonna be pissed. About 5 minutes later nailed number 7. That was it for the day and missed 3rd place by 0.02 lbs! x( Ouch, damn, x&*^%#!!!

Still, had a productive day on the water catching enough fish for the limit along with a number of smaller fish. Thanks William and the officers for putting on another great tourney and see ya'll at the Open!
