2006 Saginaw River State Championship and 2007 Northern Regional at Vermillion

[Dan]

If anyone knows the Michigan anglers who made the 2006 State Team that then went on to fish the 2007 Regional at Vermillion I finally have put all the stills and video I had together in an iMovie. It's about 50 minutes. It's kind of piece meal because when you're fishing and trying to take pictures you're not always in the right place at the right time to shoot it from beginning to end.
Hey Blake, there are some shots of you in the weigh in line at Saginaw.

I have pictures that I have scrounged from a variety of people. My fishing friend Don Fowler fished and won the Northern Divisional. I have some stills and some video I shot of the final day weigh in. I put it altogether in an iMovie. If you are interested I can send you a DVD if you send me your address. Use my http://teardropbass.com/ contact button and send me your info. It costs a couple bucks to send it and if you get the DVD and like it, you can send me a few bucks for what I have into the DVD, case, and mailing.
Did you fish on the MI team? I take it you didn't. I also went down to Florida with Don and compiled a bunch of pictures and video and made a DVD of our trip down and the National Tournament. I have trip to the National Tournament blogged day by day and it's archived on my Daily Blog page up at the top. Click on 2007-2008 and you will see where it is listed and by clicking on it you can read and see all the stills.

thanks dan i will be contacting u,and yes i did fish on the michigan team,i think i was 4th,Don did an aewsome job we were within sight of each other all 3 days, just thinking now dan, was that u in chesapeak bay this spring with don fowler,i hung out with don and his friend for a little bit the night before the tourney was to begin(i met don on the michigan team that year)....thanks again dan

Nope that was Ron Hicks, another good friend of Don and I. I had to hang up the tournament fishing this year for family reasons. Hope to get back doing more next season. Don is up in Canada right now filming a bear hunt. He shoots for PSE and is a crack shot. An outfitter called him and said he had a record book bear coming in to the bait and wanted Don to come up and they would film the hunt. Haven't heard anything from him yet.
He had boat trouble on Lake Champlain and thought it was fixed, but while prefishing for Erie same problem came up and he couldn't get the boat repaired in time. Lost his entry fee for the Northern Open. He wasn't a happy camper.
If you were on the state team then I think you will like the DVD. I got what pictures people would send me. Paul Sacks sent me his and I got some others as well. I have a little video from the Saginaw River State Event. I did fish that. It's hard to fish a tournament though and be at the right place at the right time to get all the pictures to really do a video log justice.
