Yes Ron Nelson is one of the best in the state and I was glad to hear he won.

Our fish shut off big time that second day I knew it was going to get tough the night before with the weather report even though we left a bunch of fish we could see at noon the 1st day after we got our limit. Unfortunately we wasted alot of our first day of practice fixing electrical problems on my partners boat. We had no electronics, bildge pumps, or livewells and the boat was filling with water so it was cut short and off we went to hardwire everything. So we really only ended up finding two spots we felt good about with our shortened practice and it turned out to really hurt us. We made the biggest mistake ever in atleast my tournament history. Our plan was to hit the same exact spot Watts ended up winning on first thing because we had good reason to think the bigger fish might be filtering in although we were going on just one bite on it which was a 5 pounder on the first cast to the sweet spot. We didn't have enough time to check a second time and didn't realize its potential. Our gameplan was to hit it first thing day 1 if nobody was on it but the second boat ahead of us stopped but on the wrong side. It was a last second decision as we were passing him to keep going to what we thought was our primary area just because we didn't want to play bumper boats. Never again will I let another boat fishing the same area affect my decisions.
