All I needed to do is finish in the Top 40. Had a great year and even though I missed a tourney on the Hudson River I finished 15 on the co-angler side. So I qualified, really really want to go, but can't because of school. Talked to 2 of my teachers yesterday and they won't excuse me. And all of my classes give you a one letter grade lower if you miss more than 3 classes. d**n education system  >

Sorry, thats horrible. Best of luck to you and sounds like you'll have the oppurtunity again as long as you keep fishing.

PS If school is the only thing keeping you from going, maybe a talk with the dean could help change the minds of those teachers, after all if it was a school sport they would be excused.

I don't see the problem.  Just take off to fish the tournament.  That certainly won't be longer than three days.

With the drive and registration (Thursday) I would be gone from Weds to Sunday night/Monday morning. I have never driven that far and would want another day to travel don't want to fall asleep or anything. And I have to take time out this week because I got a spider bite that got infected and had to get cut open. I'm stuck in bed and can hardly walk. So I just don't think there is any way to pull it off.

Just tell them that you were bitten by a radioactive spider.  They'll understand.

Dang it Tin, Kerr is a great lake this time of year. Iaconelli won a Stren Series event on Kerr this past weekend.

Hey, it's only a letter grade or two, right?

I know, I know, that was wrong, but somebody had to say it. :-/

Only needed 45 on 4 days though, doesnt sound too good. ;D

The again I'm spoiled..

The bite was tough all around in that Stren. A buddy fished it who lives on the lake and says the bigger fish are still deep. He couldn't get any of his boater partners to fish anything over 6 ft deep so they caught little ones every day, all day and his boaters seemed content with that. But in the end, the little ones Ike weighed in were just a shade bigger than everybody else's little ones.

I feel for you Tin, but look at the good side I'll be there fishing the ABA Regional all next week.

Hey Tin, forgot to mention, I got the BASS TIMES today that had your name in it in the Weekend Series Results section. I'll send it to ya if you need an extra.
