The weigh in for the bassmasters is in about 1/2 hour.. And just wanted to cheer one more time for the federation guy!... I can say I somewhat know Jimmy Johnson, he and I were on the MisterTwister prostaff at the same time, and worked a few sportshows togeather. A very quiet guy, but knows his fishing!

Bass fishing is one of the few sports in the world where you as an amature can fish the superbowl of your sport.. Jimmy qualified through the state tournametns and is from Wisconsin! An amature has only won the bassmasters classic one time before.Brian Kerchal wont he bassmasters classic in 94' Unfortunatly, Brian lost his life in a plane crash shortly after winning the classic.

So, for all the amatures out there!!! Mr. Johnson.. we are pulling for you!

It's a shame that BASS did not give this more coverage. A federation guy finishes in the top ten in the Bassmasters Classic and he doesn't even get into the tv coverage of the final weigh in! The ESPN folks should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't know Jimmy Johnson or anything about him, but he was completely hosed by ESPN! It seems ESPN was still holding a grudge with the federation. Sorry if I ruined this post. I know it was meant to congratulate Jimmy. He lived the dream of a lot of us north country bass guy's-congratulations!

This was the second time Jim qualified for Classic thru the Feduration. Jim Johnson is one of the best swimjig anglers in the country! This weekend he was able to shine with the best anglers in the country. Congratulations to Jim Johnson!
