    I would like to personally thank you Drew. If it wasn't for River Bassin, I would have never given any thought to fishing the local rivers for bass, much less getting a chance to fish with a lot of the fine folks on here.
    I'm looking forward to fishing with you sometime. I'll stop by and bug you about a few things Sat. at the expo.

    Thanks Drew for putting the Tournament on in the past. While I never actually fished one I got to meet quite few folks at Birmingham and Nashville last year.

    Good luck on your new path and am sorry to see the Tourney go. I sure liked seeing the pictures and reading about them. Also sorry I never got to fish in one, maybe I ll make it out east to fish some rodeos one day.

    Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Give me a ring when you get a chance to go fishing. (thumbs up emo)

    well i hate that i didn't have the opportunity to fish in one of them, but i'm glad that i was able to make the 'weigh-in' at the very first one in atlanta...very cool to meet a bunch of the great members on this site.

    congrats on a successful run and hope you have a good time with your freed up time!

    Nobody puts baby in the corner!


    Then it will put more importance on the Rodeos and I think we are all cool with that!!!! Look forward to seeing all you river folk soon, my brothers and sisters in arms.


    Love ya Drew!

    Due to the big rain out in Birmingham last year, I never got to fish one of these. Sorry to hear you're shutting it down! Anyhow, from everyone that I talked to that did, it was a class act. Good luck bro!

    Drew you worked very hard on this for the past couple years, and have made a lot of sacrifices. Thank you for taking the time and showing what can be done. It's always good to get back to family, friends, and fishing. Try to relax and enjoy tthe river.

    I had to attend a wedding last summer during the Atl stop. Sorry to say I never competed in the series. I hope you make it to the Ga rodeo, bet you have plenty of river stories to tell around the campfire. Thanks for all you do.

    Thanks Drew for all the work you have done. The Canoe Kentucky event was the first tournament I fished on the trail and I had hoped to fish this one again. I would have never made the trip or met the fine folks in the Frankfort area without the added incentive of a prize to be won. I realize now that the friends I made and the rush of floating the Elkhorn were the real prizes. I look forward to traveling to many more rodeos and look forward to sharing the river with you in the future. Good Luck in all your future endeavors!

    Sadly work kept me away from Season 2, but one of my favorite accomplishments was fishing every stop of Season 1. It will be missed, but you have made a good choice.

    Good for you Drew! Congrats on making the tournament trail the success that it was, and congrats especially on "prioritizing the priorities"! Good move!
