GLB Quote of the Week Winner!!!
Uh, Steve, all of us here at work are jealous. 8)
Kev drew local big stick Marcel Veenstra for day 1. Thats good for Kev in more ways than one. Not only is Marcel a great fisherman, espeically on the Great lakes system, but he and Kev are pals. Thats will help take a lot of the pressure off and they can go relaxed with each other and concentrate on KILLING THE PIGGIES!
I have a really good feeling about Kev in this event. He is super focused and his drop shot skills are fine tuned to the T. And he has the most dangerous weapon known to a bass fisherman................. Confindence!
Im planning a big party for the K Dawger at Hooters when he wins. Your all invited.
McCarter himself :-\'
Kev's only about 6 pounds or so out of the top 10...here he is weighing in...
I'm having a good time reading these stats! Look like Kevin got a good draw for day 2: KATSUTOSHI FURUSAWA, who brought in 19lbs today.
Good luck Kevin!
Hey, I know this guy...

The Observer and Eccentric is a local (to here) paper. It has versions for the different local cites (although I'm sure most of the content is the same).
Kev caught 5 for 14-6 for a 2-day total of 25-13. Good job dude...
in beautiful Boston. man these people hate my Tiger hat. good to see Kev got a nice check for his work. the wife just ordered a tall one to celebreate. . sounds like it was windy yesterday..

The man... the myth (or Kevin Barrows - fishon1219 as some know him...):

Thanks for all of the kind words and encouragement to all my freinds here at GLBass.com. When ever I got kinda down during the tournament I thought about how many people were wishing they were sitting were I was and it made me fish harder. Watch for my practise and tournament write up in the next few days.
I think that picture put about 5lbs on me. I really only weigh 280. That photo makes me look at least 285.
You can blame that on my camera lens... I call it the 'giant among men' angle and pose!!!
Do you practise or practice for this event?

He kind of looks like the "Caped Crusader" in that pic.. WTG Kevin!
I personally like the Cloud Afro.
I am going to do my best to make sure no pics of me ever get on here. You guys are ruthless!
I will search the archives... I may have something...???
I could have made Kev's hat 'go away' but the point was to make him look imposing... a man to take measure of...
Lets leave those archives alone. Unless you have some of me that include hair and maybe 20#'s lighter.
Ok - I felt bad for Kev... so I made some optional pictures for his review...

having fished with him twice this week i can say the man is a " Star ". people standing on there docks wanting autographs. yesterday on st-clair we were at the mouth of the clinton and the boats were coming by so close we almost sunk my boat. they even had a big air show at selfrige fo him since they knew he was fishing on st-clair. what next Montel, Oprah maybe even Letterman. :) :)
I have already signed a deal to be on the Rachel Ray show. The segement will be titled "Boat Food in 30 minuets" I will explain to the audience how to keep such an impressive figure with Vienna Sausages and Peanut butter sandwiches and how to prepare a whole days tournament feast in under 30 minuets.
DJK keep up the good work. Even the alligator is scared of me.
remember that is Crunchy peanut butter on one slice of bread folded over.
i can hear her say " Gee Kev that sounds Delish "
