Was a lot of fun following that one online.

The last few AIM events have had a couple good storylines that have sucked me in. At Bay Mills during a tough bite, Brett King just dominated all 3 days. The Dubuque Tourney now with Tommy weighing that commanding bag on Day 1, you had to tune in to see how that played out. I fished with Tommy in the FLW once and was definitely pulling for him, he's a good guy.

The Akaska Tourney should be interesting next month with the flooding conditions right now, and then we'll be out there for the FLW event in Pierre in August.

When Tommy had a 25 pound lead after day one I thought that he had it in the bag. I got to watch the day two weigh in on the computer and realized that we had a race going on. I couldn't watch it yesterday due to having to stay late at work and missed the broadcast.

It looks like they put on a great show, now if they could only get the boater numbers up.....
