Sweet!!!!
GREAT GOIN GUYS!!

Way to GO, Smitmon and Harley! When can we expect a blow-by-blow, fish-by-fish, rundown on the tournament? Will it be in the NL, maybe also published here?

C&R, Steve

WooHoo! Looks like WBC'ers put the hurt to a few of the Clear Lake local boys 

Way to go!

Chris

Good job guys, show em how its done.

Ted

Thanks for the link, Bob. The payout sure does favor the guys that place

FIRST.

I don't know that I'd like that ratio.

C&R, Steve

Oh we both realize that we are going to TN in September and believe me, we're stoked!!  I just haven't had the time to write exclusively about it.  I would prefer to discuss it in person at the next meeting or perhaps at Silver Lake. 8)
I think the only thing that either of us was disapointed in was the low turnout.  We were under the impression that there would be about 80-100 teams competeing.  To the credit of Stratos Boats,  they still gave away an 18 1/2 ft boat with an Evinrude Ficht 150 HO, Minnkota T motor, and Lowrance electronics despite the fact that less than 40 teams participated.
We expect that there will be around 140-150 teams at the championship on Old Hickory Lake.

I also recorded it for future referance as I did the BASS "T" on Clear Lake last year and two years ago.
Thanks for thinking of us Dave.  We'll need all the help we can get. ???  I plan on contacting the Shimano Pro's Bernie Schultz and Jim Houston, who fished Hickory and see if they can glean me some info.
