Flw Trophy Presentation

[Bill Babler]

Guy's and Gal's one of our very own, from this board presented the 1st. place trophy in the FLW derby yesterday. Doug Weston presented it representing the National Guard and Table Rock Lake. Great Job Doug, thank you for what you do.

Thank you Bill! I was asked to present the trophy because I was in charge of the National Guard Booth at the Family fun zone. I considered it an honor to give the trophy away. I had a great time and I guess I've had my 15 minutes now. I don't know if I will make the TV show or not, but It will air on VS (I don't get that channel) April 18th at 1230 I think. I don't know why it takes so long to air the show but that is what they said. For those of you that don't know, he caught his fish on a inside channel bend with swimming a grub, jerkbait and swimbait through the trees. I believe he was up the white river pretty far. He would catch a limit, then move back toward the launch fishing bluff ends with a jerkbait. Great Job Brent Ehler!

On another note, I was able to apply for a Co Angler seat with the National Guard. I was able to meet the Officer in Charge from the National Guard Bureau that runs this program. I think I stand a pretty good chance at getting a seat on the team. This would be a wonderful opportunity for me. I'm excited about this and hope it plays out for me. For now, its back to the grind, gotta get some people to join....

I was able to watch the weighin live on FLW's website. It was real nice. The trophy presentation was very nice also.

Doug,

I heard it is better to give than receive. Is that true?
