Congratulations KVD, what an awesome ending to his season. Also, Aaron
Martens , how can you come any closer than that, what an awesome
classic, very exciting weigh in.

I couldn't agree more. It was a very tough venue (or so it appeared, hunting
long and hard for legal fish, most guys weighing in less than a limit each
day, BIG names zeroing...) I found myself pulling for Aaron just because
he'd done so well in years past to come up 2nd, won the AOTY this season,
but alas, he finished 2nd yet again.

Then again, this is bass fishing and not NASCAR or "wrestling" so I don't
really have anyone to pull "against", I was happy that KVD got number 2, and
was even going to be stoked if Cochran managed a 3rd title and reset his
prior lowest weight to win a Classic (which I think KVD did reset.) I
wouldn't have minded any of the Super 6 snatching the title. The G-Man is
cool (or so it seems), Iaconelli is cool (I've met him twice now, once
before his Classic win, once since) Marty Stone lives 5 miles from me, it
was just a cool time, came down to ounces, etc. About the only thing missing
was Clunn being in the hunt...yet again.

I got hooked on Classic activities last year when they were here in NC, and
just wished I could've gone up to Pittsburgh myself, and been out on the
river watching these guys work. Maybe one day, High Rock will recover and
they'll be able to host another Classic here so I can be in the gallery
again sometime...
