I usually go to Advanced Auto or BLat's sponsor O-Reilly's, but "Get in the Zone, Autozone" had my new lifetime warranty starter in stock, so we're back in business and ready for the upcoming tournament... Tournament fishing is pretty expensive...

Ken Pfeiffer If you could get electrical tape way down into that area in the engine compartment it might have fixed it for one last start.

Oneida BFL is in the books. It was a very tough lake to Fish the past three days. I caught a total of five bass over three days: two on one day of practice, one on one day of practice, and two in the tournament. I placed 52nd out of 91. It was tough out there. Here’s what I like about BFL’s. I get to fish some awesome lakes and meet some great people. I learned a lot this year so far, one more super tournament to go, Potomac River.

The great part is the boat went in and came out of the water looking the same :-)

I drove all the way home, but about 30 minutes from my house, I stopped to get some ice cream. After that, my truck wouldn’t start. Fortunately, a guy stopped to help, and we troubleshot the problem together. Guess what I’ll be doing today? Putting in a starter.

Yes, they need to decline it and then you resubmit it.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it is a quick recovery.

This is from a few years ago. It is me and my son. It is an underwater video of a smallmouth finding and eating a crawfish while we were snorkeling at Lake George with super clear water. It was not afraid of us; he was using us as his concierge lunch provider. notice all the things BLat talked about. They are made to eat those crawdads.  https://youtu.be/WItHdw0_7B8

Well, Champlain delivered!!! What a crazy week. Two weekends ago, I was in northern Champlain and hit the reef of destruction, then I fished with a local hammer in BFL. This past weekend, I ended up SC at Falcon - they are GREAT!!! - Did an in-person live with BLat. I drove back to MA and got a new lower unit at 6 PM on Friday. Then woke up at 2:30 AM to drive to southern Champlain to fish in my club tournament. I came in second with the lunker smallmouth. Champlain certainly made memories this year.
