Title: Ben Felton Takes 2nd Place on the Co-Angler Side - Over 18 Pounds
Post by: djkimmel on July 15, 2007, 01:17:17 AM
So close to a HUGE win!!! Believe me, my good friend Ben Felton is VERY happy with 2nd place and a huge check. More information after he gets back from the Potomac - left right from the tournament.

18 pounds 5 ounces limit of Lake St. Clair smallies comes with half a pound of the win, but Ben was on a high note as he packed up to hit the road.

Here's Ben on stage as he was asked by Charlie Evans how he felt about the whole event:

LUMBERLEO finishes 4th with a solid 15 pounds 14 ounce limit!

Congratulations to Ben and Scott on a fantastic tournament. Now, let's all send good luck wishes to GreatfLakesBass.com member Steve Clapper as he goes for the BIG WIN!

Thanks Dan and Vince, I really appreciate the kind words and well wishes. I am starting to get an idea of what it takes to get the average fish here but not the big ones. I am behind the 8 ball right now but I have 2 more days to make up the gap for at least a check.
Hey Bass Fan did a small piece on Keven Long's finish and he did mention me in the article as a thanks for helping him locate his pattern and fish. It is in the more news under Finishes 2-5.
Great Pictures Dan!

That was a very good jesture by Kevin and I really appreciate all of the exposure and well wishes.
Well back to the Potomac,
Later

Congratulations, Ben!  You've been working at this for quite a while now and it's paying off.  I saw the article on Bassfan and thought it was classy of Kevin to mention your help.  Good luck at the Potomic and future events!
