FLW College Fishing Almost won. 3/3-3/6

[David Goddard]

A Little late posting this but my partner and I almost won the FLW College National Qualifier on Table rock last weekend. Mizzou showed out at this event taking 5th, 7th, 16th, and a 50 something. Any how me and Jonny found our pattern tp be much different than I anticipated. my partner Jonny usually struggles on Table Rock so we ran around to areas that I have had success on in the past. We fished the lower end all week. We could catch a few on a jerk bait if there was cloud cover or in the morning, but it seemed once the sun came out the fish went a lot deeper. All we did was fish timber 20-40 foot deep with a 2.8 Keitech. Justin and his little brother did the same thing. We didn't get a ton of bites like this pattern will be soon, or probably is now, but we caught those first big largemouth that were moving up. I lost a giant in practice because it broke me off in a tree but it was very big. New pb for me for sure. Any was Jonny and I got 5th with 15-15, Justin and his little bro got 7th with 15-12. The 4 of us qualified for the FLW National championship and a MLF College Shootout. Not as detailed of a report or as timely of a report as I usually give but I have a very busy week this week. I've made it to the final stage in a competition at Mizzou to try and win 30k in seed money to start a guide service so I'm working on that a lot. I've got 1 out of 8 chance now. Also, I'm trying to come down to table rock again this weekend and just sleep in the car and fish for 3 days lol. Tight lines everyone.

Yikes. I thought basketball showed a little something down the stretch. At least signs of life. And your football hire was solid this time.

I also liked the hire of Drinkwitz. Some questioned it (or still are) as it was a "no name" or "small time" coach from a relatively obscure school to most. I'd rather take a shot on a promising young coach with talent and a fresh take on things. Instead of making a "safe" hire on some "seasoned" mediocre coach that's bounced around from school to school going .500. We need to shake things up if we want to get back to being competitive. Even if he is a flop he can't be any worse than Odom. X's and O's speaking. Impossible.
