Great coverage Dan. I got to tag along with Ron F. when he fished the BASS National Championship last November on Toho. We had dinner together several times. I also was at the Northern Divisional where he came in second overall. He's a stick.
Way to cover and report the events Dan. Good job.
It would have been so cool to follow those guys around and see how the pros do it.
Congrats to all the GLB and Michigan competitors.
Now when you guys get the time, detailed stories would be great reading for those of us that couldn't be there.
