You've put your work in and look where it got you. So many people would die for this oppertunity you have. I know we didn't get along as well as we wished when I came to SFA, but I want to say congrats on qualifying for the 2012 classic. You're a heck of a fisherman and I know you're going to represent SFA well. I hope you do well. That's big time.
Good luck and God Bless.

I tried calling you but got your voicemail.

Takes a big man to step up and say that after all of the stuff that went on. Amazed you would post that publically here.

Wish you well Andrew.

What went on?

Great job! I didn't go to the classic last time it was in Shreveport but I will this time.

Congrats Andrew!!

Congrats Andrew...couldnt happen to a better person. I have had the pleasure to fish with Andrew and he is a stand up guy and will represent SFA very well. I wish him the best and will be gunning for him in the classic.

Good luck to you Mr. Upshaw, you have an opportunity that many of us will only dream about. Dont know you but from what I have been told you will represent your school and yourself very well. My family and I will be ro for you in Shreveport. Congrats to you and your partner on a great win.

Side note: Jay I am proud of you for coming on here and offering your congrats hope it can all be water under the bridge.

Again congrats and I look forward to watching you represent in 2012.

Good deal Jay, very respectable! Congrats Upshaw! Go kick their tails at the classic! All in! Good luck sir!

Congrats Andrew!

I'm with Jaret... Plan on going to the classic and Jennifer and I will be rooting for you... Good Luck and Congrats on the WIN!!!

Excited to see a fellow competitor and somebody I consider a friend fishing the biggest stage in competitive bass fishing. Andrew Upshaw will be at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic; Skeet Reese will not... That is insane, go get them Andrew. Also, if you get a minute this week please call me, I want to visit with you about this and do a write up for a website!!

Andrew, I have fished beaverfork lake in Conway, AR several times and I'll say this -- 15 pounds in the summer, especially on a weekend - is one heckuva bag! Very impressive!! Most of us around here would have guessed about 11-12 pounds would surely win and for those of you that don't know, it would'nt have been a bit of surprise for 7 or 8 pounds to win it all on this lake under the conditions. Bottom line is I am absolutely amazed with what you guys did! That is TUFF!! NICE WORK!
