Well, this barn burning event is over now. Can you believe that Kevin VanDam wins the tourny with 12lbs/15oz.? It was kind of weak to see these guys hold up a 12" long fish for the crowd.

I stood next to Roland Martin for about ten minutes. I did not try to speak to him or shake his hand though.

I did meet Mike Iaconelli. Seems like a decent guy. The opportunities were there to meet most all of the pros, but I didn't really care to do so.

So far, all of my fish have made it back into the fish truck w/ no mortalities. Later today, I'll put them back in my pond.

ewest, Bruce, thanks for watching.

Theo, good one!
