When you don’t make the cut, take a future angler fishing!

If you caught me talking during the weigh-in on Day 2, you heard me mention my buddy Bryant, from nearby Vidor, TX. I met him while fishing Championship Saturday here at Rayburn in 2020. He was the first kid to ever ask me for my autograph. My wife and I quickly became friends with him and his dad, Charlie. I told him if I ever made it back to Texas I would take him fishing. 

I kept my promise! Unlucky for me, lucky for him, I didn’t make the cut for Saturday. We got up early and headed out onto the lake. Our day has been going great so far: 6 fish, 4 have been legal. We still got a lot of daylight left. Hoping for a big one!
