  2. My team had fun fishing Oswego and Sodus, we won enough to cover expenses taking into consideration a so-so performance, we look forward to doing it again next year. The excitement of competing against your idols and those names "you've always heard about" is second to none for a few of us. This dimmed the light for my team so to say, for the deep down wish that the Pro/Am's will someday be once again what they once were. Through all my trials of the betrayed feelings to my 12 year dedication to fishing these events the one thing that has always stood out was the fact it has felt like a loss to lose the original Pro/Am format that brought together 90+ boats in Niagara and almost 80 in Oswego. Just to rank yourself amongst those top dogs doing everything the same way it has been done for years should always say something about its prestigiousness.

    I have presently chosen to fish these events in any light and the goal to bury the hard feelings has felt great. Our fishery deserves our passion, and its potential is second to none. While idling in the dark Sat am at the head of the pack next to my long time hero "THRILLSEEKER" the goosebumps were lifted off every square inch of my body. I am sure many team captains and members can compare similar feelings while participating in these events, while blasting off or while weighing in.

    Just to offer my vote on my "opinion" I feel the Pro/Am's would be given their best chance ever to make it into the future if they were to go back to what they were when they drew 78 teams in Oswego. No Communication, 2 divisions, observers etc.

    I presume I will more than likely fish these events till my dying day, as they are my biggest off. The work behind the scenes is endless as I have learned first hand. It should always remain respected, I will offer my respect by continuing to play.

  3. Thanks! I literally get a little choked up as I reflect back on the week I spent with them. It was a perfect week with a perfect ending and I have never had more enjoyable, or a prouder moment in my entire life. I made sure they understood it was not about the final results, but the spirit of good sportsmanship and enjoyable competition.

    Welcome to my world Rod, its an awesome place to be

    :yes:
