Hey guys!

I will be leaving for Birmingham, Alabama in less than a week for the Junior World Bassmaster Championships. I am representing the great state of Maryland, and competeing against 43 other jr. contestants in the older division (14-18) that qualified Worldwide.

I look forward to represent the forum, and hope that I am able to fish to the best of my ability. It will be a GREAT experience and I will be sure to share all of the pictures and details from the tournament and the Classic Expo!

Thanks for all of your support!

Ben

God Bless

Ben,  I am proud of you.   I know you will let us know how you do.  Fish hard buddy and remember to fish till you have to quit.  One kicker could  make you.

Go get em ben.

Where can I get the information on date, time and location of the weigh-ins and expo?

In the AM I'll look them up in my invitation, but you might be able to find something on www.bassmaster.com

I'll let you know if I find anything

thanks guys

Ben, I live in Birmingham.  I don't know where you will be fishing but if I can help in any way let me know.  I'm no expert but have fished several local lakes for a while now.  Good luck.

Ben,

Congrats and the best of luck (and skill) to you in the tournament.

Please be sure to fill us in on your success and what happened in the tournament.

I think we are all interested in how you do and we will be pulling for you.

Have a safe trip and we all look forward to seeing your photo in Bassmaster Magazine and Bass Times.

Ben,

What a wonderful opportunity, to be able to fish in such prestigious event. We will all be pulling for you.

Let us know if there is any way we can follow your progress on-line.

Good luck and God Bless,

Falcon

Ben,you are already a winner!Good Luck!Go WHACK em'!

Congrats!  Its definately something to be proud of and I wish you the best of luck.  Is it going to be on tv?

Thanks fellas!

Yes, when they are showing the adult classic, they usually have a few 10 minute sections about the Junior event.....so hopefully I might make it on ESPN2. Just being there and hanging out with the pros is going to be a life-changing event

Ben

Good luck Ben, you will respresent us well!!

Ben

Good Luck!!!!!

Good luck, enjoy the moment,  see ya there.

Good job Ben! We are rooting for you! Fish your heart out!

Ronnie

Good luck Ben. For sure your going to be the best one there  

Good luck ben...so is there any particular pro your hoping for?

Thanks guys!

Well, if I had to choose one pro, it would probably be Ike or Swindle or Martens. I know that all of them can catch some serious spotted bass, and the lake will play into their techniques.

I wont be dissapointed at all with anyone! They aren't called pros for no reason..haha

I know I will learn a great deal of information, and it should be a great experience.

Ben

God Bless

Good luck and congrats on a great accomplishment.

good luck Ben!!

Good luck Ben fish hard and have fun out there. remember it's all about having fun ;D ;D

Good luck and have fun man!!!!!!!!
