Matt , do you know why there web site still has 2007 results on it ? I tried to send Chris an e mail today and it came back undeliverable. I was asking him the same thing. Any help would be great. Thanks Mike.
Also if you can forward this to Chris let him know he may want to reiterate saftey before each event. A freind of mine tore off his lower unit on Sat. when a kid 15-16 shot out from behind the wood pilings just before Clewiston. He pulled the wheel hard right and tried to pull it back but hit the rip rap with the motor. Shattered the gear case on the bottom , bent prop shaft and demolished the prop. The kid never stopped.
As promised, here are the results of this past weekend's Bass Busters tourneys:
