<p>Ron Welch, the California B.A.S.S. Nation representative, had a bit of boat trouble when prefishing on the Ouachita River.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I hit a stump on the river and completely broke my motor mount on my big motor and bent the shaft on my front motor,&quot; Welch said. &quot;This morning I took my boat to the Mercury service crew here onsite, and they fixed it right up for me!&quot; &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Welch said the fix came just in time because he to take full advantage of the first official practice day Tuesday.</p>
