Hey, thanx alot everybody what a trip!! I dont think it really set in yet, this might of been just what my career needed to really take off I can only hope. I got to thank all of my freinds, family, teamates, and all the people from my surrounding communities that support me, my biggest drive when I leave town is to not let all these people down.. Great job Dusty and Chad that was one of the worst bites ive seen in a while and we got the job done!!! Congrats to the rest of the top ten also u earned it.

Good job on third. Sorry the big one got off 30 ft behind the boat. Thanks for getting me in the money as you promised on the phone Thurs. night. I had a great time on the water with you and learned alot about river fishing. Call me next year and I will show you around Erie.

Congratulations Bill! You had better move up to the next level, that way maybe I can finally get into a Ranger boat! Nice job! And Congratulations to all the anglers who managed to put together some sort of program on this system with the forage base the way it was!
Congrats!

Not to take away from Bill's accomplishment, but Dusty Minke had two consecutive wins last year.

Congrats Bill, Nice way to end the year!! Look forward to seeing more of you in the future. (as well as Don and Dusty)
I forgot to tell you that the acting job (wiping the hands with the rag) was an oscar winning performance as well, nearly gave Don a stroke I figure!!!
Had a great time w/ you guys Sat nite
To all the guys that fished this one, kudos, its tough to keep positive with as tough a bite as it was.

Nice job Bill and Dusty. I wish I could have been there to compete against you fellas, but sounds like you had a very tough bite dialed in. Once again great job, and I look forward to seeing you guys next year.

Thanx Chad i hope your Lake Erie experience went well! Pretty powerful group of guys u were up against. I almost had three in row if I could have just kept some fish on on the last day. I think Dusty is out in North Dakota trying to melt his barrel off on some waterfowl, cant wait to get in the blind or treestand myself! Looking forward to seeing all u guys next sping!!!!!
