| I have seen my name here and on another board. Because of ongoing back problems I had to withdraw from the championship. I am unable to tournament fish anymore.
The one thing that you fish for is to make the championship, it was a very hard decision to make. I agree with you Stacker, why wouldn't a guy fish. I felt I couldn't compete. I can't be in a boat for more then a couple hours at a time. So I couldn't efficiently pre-fish, and surely couldn't compete. The competitor that I am, I didn't just want to show up and go through the motions, just to cash a check. Talking with JK, I told him I would rather give up my spot to someone that could have a chance.

I am so sorry to hear that. Back problems are the worst and the tournament world won't be the same without you. Hang in there bud and I hope your back can heal. |

Michigan is a culling state. they can put 5 in the well and cull another 30 if they so desire. Where did you find that there is only a 4 fish limit? I must have missed it.
Eric, as I said, it must be personal. Thanks for your decision to share this with the walleye world. This is exactly what we need to get this sport growing. Not speculation, just facts.
If it means anything, I think you should have went and collected the check that you earned. It is your right and thats that. |

| Eric, sorry to hear that back is still limiting you. That's a tough deal. I tend to agree with Stacker, though. You earned that spot, and the check, by your previous work. Hope you find something else to feed that competitve fire.
Thanks for checking in. |

| The rules for the championship is 4 fish, period. I live in Michigan so I have what I think is a pretty good handle on the law. If you have 5 fish in your well, continue fishing and land a 6th fish, you are in posession of 6 fish and in violation of the law. The championship is 4 fish so nobody gets into violation. |

That would be correct. Talked to a couple guys tonight and they are happy with that and glad to be able to play with that 5th fish spot. |
