BOAT CAPTAIN’S COMMENTS
“… We didn’t really have a good practice. Just couldn’t find the quality of fish that we knew we would need. So when tournament day came we went to the only place we caught any fish which was on the other end of the lake. We never took a bite until 10:30. Then we caught a keeper largemouth and seen what the fish were relating to. After that it got kinda easy. We had our limit of 5 fish in the boat by 12:30. I just can’t say enough about these Godly young men. It’s a pleasure to be their boat captain. Eric and Noah are machines!”
“… Our next tournament is at Paintsville lake on April 6th. After that the KHSAA state qualifier is at Cave Run lake on April 27th.”
Great people to represent our School/County and State!
Good luck at the Nationals!!
