Thanks Graham for listening. I hope that email that Bob read on KLBJ this morning was clear enough.

Now imagine catching either the lake record (14.21 largemouth - 3.69 guadalupe - 4.5 smallmouth) or a 9.37lb bass in this tournament. Not only do you get $50k but also a new truck to go along with it. How sweet is that?

What is the lake? Is this a private lake or park lake?

Lake Travis, just northwest of Austin. Usually open to more public than we'd like.

Dang can sep come soon enough? this sounds great.
