Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

If you had told me I'd end up tied with Mark Rose in the Pickwick Lake Walmart FLW Tour event, I would have guessed there would also be a sudden-death fish-off on Monday morning.

Pickwick in Florence, Ala., is a perfect place for a big tournament and coincidently one of my favorite lakes in the country. This time around, however, it didn't treat me so well. I finished 58th.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to finish in the big money, but this entire season has been way too stressful, as I've been on both sides of the bubble numerous times.
