Randy Howell won the classic today. If I'm not mistaken he's sponsored by Do-It. Wonder if he makes his own baits?
-
Based on the leader board / on the water fish count and weight he caught over 75 lbs of fish today alone. He was culling within 45 minutes of the start. What a day. On the last day of the classic.
-
This was an awesome finish. One of the best ever. This was also the first year for our Apple TV. We watched the whole thing on our big screen tv. Love Apple TV
-
Randy Howell does have a very special relationship with Jerry, myself, and Do-IT. We couldn't be happier. http://www.bassmaster.com/node/107381 (http://www.bassmaster.com/node/107381)
(and yes....he makes his own baits ;D)

It was a great tournment because of all the fish that was caught. It was also great to see a nice guy and christan win! Would like to hear more about the classic when all the guys get back. I understand a lot of new baits were introduced as well as other products.

Welcome aboard Mrs. V.------Tim.

Hey there, Mrs. V...it's nice having you here. Any chance you can take over the modship. Jerry is really difficult to deal with, but you already know that.
-
Thanks for the link Mrs. V, I'm glad everything turned out ok, I even teared up a little at the end of the story, I mean I had something in my eye, ya thats it something in my eye;)

Don't I know what you mean... I had some things in my eye Sunday night as well, and on a number of occasions.
We all couldn't be happier and more proud of such a great angler and even better person. This win for him I know was, and will remain forever, a true blessing for him, his family, and everyone he's touched in his life, simply remarkable.
Very proud and happy,
Jerry

Brad was down there (wilks19) so I can verify if what he says is true or not. :P :P :P

Awesome story...I'm glad Jerry came out of it the way he did, it could have been a lot worse.

Have you ever felt like a complete jerk? For the past several weeks I've been pretty self absorbed in selling my law practice and entering the nirvana of retirement. The days have been long...leave the house at 5 something and drag home at 9 something. Sixteen hour days don't bode well for old guys. I've had tunnel vision in dealing with my own issues and have only occasionally glanced at the forum. I did not follow The Classic at all.
I did send a witty reply Mrs. V's post suggesting that she take over Jerry's job as moderator, but didn't even read her hyperlink to the Bassmaster article. I only read the article this morning. Please accept my apologies, Mrs. V, for making light of Jerry. You had to be under a tremendous amount of stress at the time and a cocky reply about replacing your husband when he was in the hospital didn't help much. It was insensitive, but unintentional.
My prayers and best thoughts go out to both of you.
(Let Jerry know that I'll be sending him a PM. It'll say something about an old, ugly and grossly overweight nurse carrying an enima bag as she entered his room.)

Denny- no reason to feel bad... this accident happened in 2009 and Jerry has recovered very nicely. The "hard to get along with" with has been his nature since I have known him. ;) Just wanted to bring to light what an upstanding, outstanding person Randy Howell is and that we at the Van Sickle home hold him very close to our heart.
-
2009!!! Well, I guess that explains why no one else commented on it. Like my mentor Forrest Gump used to say, "Stupid is what stupid does." Now I really feel like an idiot.
-
That's ok Denny. It was small print. Maybe it is time to get out of the office, eh? lol
-
It's ok Denny. I think toms right. It's time to go fish.
-
I hear that senility starts earlier in people that live in warmer drier climates.
We all knew that you would eventually figure it out, or if not,
Mo Quack would prod you down the right path.
-
I think Denny's HR department should send him to some sensitivity training...Even if he does own his own firm.
-
I remember when this happened. I read the story and kept up with how the guy ended up doing. I remember thinking he was a lucky guy and how other anglers came together. I guess I never dreamed it was Jerry from here on Do-It unit I read this. He's one lucky guy.

I was in the same boat with you Denny... the coincidental timing led me to believe it just happened as well.

I've been giving it a lot of thought, efish. I pretty sure it's a conspiracy cooked up by Mo and Jerry.
-
Denny.....I thought you'd be outside dancing in the rain. The evening news yesterday said that northern Cali was getting some sprinkles....ok, maybe a whole bunch of'em. Sure hope this helps fill that hole back up so you can fish again without having to travel across mountains and fight tides to do it.
-
We had a real gully-washer last night for a couple hours. Sprinkles now. More good rain tomorrow and Saturday. We'll take whatever comes. Those down south have been getting ready for flooding...sandbags, plastic sheeting, plywood, etc. Last year's fires aftermath. Go figure...feast or famine
-
I just hope your area finds some relief. Something more than a week or two. The same weather glitch that's shorting you on rain is whats been dealing us the white misery and cold. What's wrong with Somalia getting some of this winter weather? Or North Korea?
-
Feast or famine. No rain and the root cover dies off then heavy rain and mud slides.
-

I think you're right... Jerry just has the shifty nature about him.
-

I remember that cycle from when I was stationed out there... for as much as I miss the fishing, the natural disasters cured me for any chance of residency. (I was there for the earthquake of '89 and Bay Bridge collapse, along with the Oakland fire of '91.)
Then the summer after I got out and came home, the Big Miss has its once in 500 year flood (1993)... I started wondering if maybe I was the jinx.
-
Earth quakes.... fires.... floods.... EVERYWHERE you go... and I'm "shifty" ??
WOW! :o
-

You have a valid point... maybe it's from all the lead fumes I breathed in as a kid.

Hey everyone, I have just now gotten time to write a post. I had an amazing time at the Classic, between good friends and new ones it was a trip I will never forget. Created a ton of new relationships in the industry that I plan to strengthen throughout the years. Spent time with multiple elite anglers that have fallen in love with my cranks. Got amazing deals on things that I wanted, although Jerry took the last two packs of Air Craws from the Damiki booth... I am already planning next year's trip, if you have never been to a Bassmaster Classic I highly suggest attending. I will be scarce over the next two weeks playing catch up on orders from the event. Wish you all could have been there!
