WHAT a bassmaster classic, it was truley AMAZING, I started this dream 12 months ago with my mate Darren and we worked hard on making this happen, 1: TO GOT TO THE BASSMASTER CLASSIC, 2: TO SEE THE MOST AMAZING ANGLER’S IN THE WORLD, 3: TO MEET KEVIN VAN DAM, 4: TO SEE KEVIN VAN DAM WIN, 5:TO GO HOME TO AUSTRALIA WITH BEST MEMORIES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE OF FISHING…....

As i write this i am all choked up, and there are a few people i wish to thank….

Thanks to my best mate in the whole world Darren without him none of this would have been possible.
Thanks to Micheal from OMG for making things happen for us.
Thanks to BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA your city is outstanding and the people are AMAZING.
Thanks to all the people at the expo who spoke with us and made us feel welcome.

But most of all thankyou KEVIN VAN DAM and you wonderful family for making us feel like nothing ever before i will never ever ever forget this…...

KEVIN VAN DAM always #1


REGARDS

DARRYL & DARREN

Thats awesome dude! Looks like you’ll have to come to the states again for another classic! I’m happy you had a good time, unfortunately I couldn’t make this one, but I’m gonna try to work on making next years in Louisiana.

Yeah at the day 1 weigh in he mentioned the support he was getting and his fan site then went on to say that a guy from Australia was flying in just for the Classic and that he had seen it on the forums.
