2017 proved to be a up & down year. Top 3 finishes Highlighted by a 2nd place Classic finish.

 When you read the title you are probably thinking how bad can multiple top 3 finishes, which included my 28th 1st place finish in the club, and a 2nd Place Classic finish be? Well to tell you the truth the bad finishes were bad. This was my first season since my Rookie Season, all the way back in 1987, that I had three tournaments where I skunked. That's right no keeper bass. Now this hurt me in the overall points standings. Although I finished a respectable 9th Place in the A.O.Y. race. Three tournaments with no points is not acceptable. I am hoping to get back to weighing in limits each tournament.
