I'm a little lagged in posting a results update from the Toyota Bonus Bucks tournament I got to fish this past weekend. 

Lake Guntersville showed why it has the legendary status for big fish.  Unfortunately, we didn't get enough of the big ones to finish in the money. We did finish 88th out of 230 boats, so that's pretty good for a couple of good ole boys. However, the weekend was a HUGE success IMHO. I got to spend the weekend fishing a bucket list lake with my brother and we caught a respectable number of fish.  We also got to meet so very cool Pro anglers and a great group of people. It was a great event overall and I would gladly do it again if I get the chance.

I can add all the gory fishing detail if anyone is interested.
