Just want to give a shout out to Mark Daniels Jr. for pulling off the win this week in South Dakota. Met him once and truly believe it couldn't have happened to a better guy. If you haven't been following him, I suggest doing so. Check out the FLW Circuit Breaker series featuring him.

Agree... great win for him, glad to see it!!... Very interesting tournament... sounds like a bunch of fish hadn't seen the likes of this kind of fishing before... looks like Pirch was on the winning fish and pattern if he had figured it out sooner... easy to say from an A number 1 "arm chair quarter back"!
Require a whole lot of luck...

the leader board was dominated by the boys that run the electronics... "drop it down, watch the bait fall, watch the bass hit it, set the hook"... geez, sounds like a video game...
Require a whole lot of luck...

I forget who it was on BassMaster live, might have been Bertrand and Lucas talking, but Pirch couldnt fish that spot day 1 because he left his seat out of his boat, wind wouldnt let him fish it standing up. Regardless, MD Jr. earned every inch, hard work and dedication pays off in every aspect of life!

Mark is a great guy. I got to know him since we both came up in the TBF. He is deserving & Im super happy for him. Hes one of the few that left a good job to chase bass & succeeded.

If it is a clear water finesse bite tourney, the west coast guys are going to be very competitive. I grew up in Texas, but have spent the last 22 years in Arizona. It made me a better fisherman. I know Clifford and Josh bertand personally. Josh started fishing tournies in AZ at 15. He is a stud. Clifford still fishes local stuff here with his wife from time to time and she is a stick too. Brett Hite can finesse with the best too, despite his reputation as the chatterbait expert.
Daniels is a Cali stud and a really good guy. Another name to watch if he can get rolling is Roy Hawk.
Tune in to the US Open this year on mead. You might see another new young gun rise to the top and launch his pro career.

He seems like a very humble guy from the videos I seen of him. Glad to see him win his first Elite event! That is no easy feat even with the high tech electronics available today. Congrats to him!
