Rock Crawler help me out this weekend. Got some money for being the top placing Suzuki in the tournament. Thanks Suzuki Marine for the contingency. 26th out of 77 boats on Lake Champlain. Thanks Doc T. for the custom rock crawlers they helped me cull up a couple of times. 

It was not without adversity. Broke a Talon. Got a nail and had to do some roadside screw removal and tire plugging. Ended up with another 16 lb bag on Champlain. Finesse jig, not a crappie lure Mack ;-) and Doc's rock crawler did the job. I made a move that was not the best, I should have stayed put and made another pass thru the rocky shoal to hopefully crank up another 3-4 lb'er to get closer to 18 pounds to put me in the top ten. I am grateful for every trip! Just making the first cast is a blessing. I always try to remember "what you take for granted, someone else is wishing for" 

Ken and I had a memorable few days fishing on Champlain and some Texas Roadhouse. 😋
