Josh is currently in 43rd after day 1 with 4 fish weighing 9-15.
Talked to him last night. He executed well, catching all the keepers that bit him. No missed opportunities. He actually beat his boater as well.
He said he was only about 15 ounces out of the top 20 so it sounds like its a pretty close race. Look for him to make up some ground today. He turns on when the pressure is there. I smell another top 10!
PB himself :-\'
His boater today blanked yesterday ??? - hopefully he was just late for check-in.
So, it's been a busy morning at work. I finally log on to post the results of the first day and you guys are on top of it!! Great job!! If he stays consistent he should be fine.

Josh didn't fair too well on day two...he zeroed...sometimes it all comes down to the draw...

Sometimes a guy just can't put down a bait and convince himself that you can't force them into eating it.
I really blame myself for not having a good finish.
I was not in my element... looking back... it felt like those times when Iwas sick with a fever and I kept having the same horrible dream over and over and over again.
I had my own melt down. I don't know how to get out of the funk when I fall into it.
It started in the first five minutes of the morning and never quit after a dog fish that ate my spro bronzeye frog had covered me in blood from head to toe, ruining my favorite pair of shorts.
Short story... the bait that had been producing for me for six... count em... six days straight... quit working for me, and I did not have the brain power to make the correct adjustments.
Hind sight... it was an easy decision to switch...
Sitting in 93 degree heat watching the best chance I've ever had at making a cut dwindle away...
I guess I couldn't take it.
I guess I should be happy that I made it back to the ramp alive... my boater had no business driving a boat...
What sould have tipped me off was that he was getting his third lower unit put on the night before.
Okay friends... any comments/suggestions would be helpful... I'm going to let it sink in for a bit, and then I'll try to get the whole story out.
