Title: Who knows Luke Gritter?
Post by: McCarter on January 28, 2009, 04:41:46 PM
BASS just announced the 09 Elite Series roster and he is on it.  21 years old (maybe older now?) from Kzoo (what are they putting in the water on the west side?) and he is fishing with the big boys.  Thats friggin awesome!!!

McCarter himself :-\'

I think he is JVD's buddy. They both fished the BASS opens last year and Gritter was very consistant, he must of done well enough to qualify. Good for him

Luke was in the mopney every tournament I believe. He fished two or three final days and had 9th in Florida. He is excellent when it comes to shallow water and the elites I think will pan out for him great with the schedule. Hope to see him on ESPN this year!

Maybe when I get done with school or make it to the classic through the federation. I am going to fish FLW after college and see what happens so versus would be a better bet lol

I fished against Luke when CATT was still around in it's division #1.  He was a very nice guy.  He and his Dad fished together and did very well.  His Dad always said Like caught all their fish.  He was always interested in sharing info and would ask questions to learn more.     

Also camped with him during the Classic on Muskeon at Fisherman's Landing.  We would all sit around the fire at night and tell stories.  He's a pretty quiet kid but very funny and a good guy to be around.  It's impossible not to like him.

I really hope he does well in the Elite's. I can only imagine what the learning curve will be but I hope he can win enough to keep in it for a long time.
