Not sure, but didn't one of those TV guys..maybe the blond haired one who
kisses fish.... come from OK? Lots of bass in that state.

And yes, this is the land of opportunity. The guy who won some big
tournament this last weekend was Oriental in appearance but American in
talent! Rich

A guy from Center Point, Iowa finished 23rd in the classic:
Thad Takes.

He probably didn't make many of the headlines or stories, but this is
the April winner of the Federaton Championship in Oklahoma.

He started strong with a limit day one, and then finished weaker, endind
up with 8 fish total 18-9 for weight.

To me, it's amazing to think that a fisherman from a state that is
clearly not "big bass country" can make it all the way to the top 25 in
the Classic. Very few "pro sports" can an amateur go so far.
