Hello Stan,
How have you been? I thought I would update you on my resent success as a collegiate bass angler. Here is a link to the tournament we won last weekend.

We placed 2nd at the Western Regionals last September and qualified to fish the FLW college National tournament at Beaver Lake in Arkansas on April 19th. This year we placed 3rd in our first tournament and 1st last weekend and are ranked 3rd in the Nation in the rankings. Pretty cool huh. I hope I can get back over to Hawaii sometime and visit. That peacock bass is still one of the coolest fish I have ever caught and still brag about it to all my friends.
Sincerely
Ryan Sparks
