Congrats Don and Ray!! Awesome job!! I know it probably doesn't mean as much coming from someone that doesn't fish big tournaments often but I am sure everyone would agree with me that your two boats in the same month were very well deserved Don!!  Very well done!
IMPRESSIVE!!!!
DAMN !!  They definetly earned it, look at the weight difference from first to second.  Hell of a job.

Thanks guys. 

I do need to mention that I had a ton of help.  Both Ryan and Ray are great sticks, and did their fair share of catching, in fact at times I just ran the net.  It was a team effort and I am really lucky to have them for partners.

And yes David, I means alot from anyone who knows how challenging it is to catch bass in such drastic conditions and against such good competition.  Anyone who fished it can tell you it was tough fishing.  I don't think we (Ray and I) ever worked so hard for 15lbs as we did on Sunday!

Great job Don!  My hats off to you and your partners for both tournaments.  I know my partner and myself couldn't figure them out at all at the NW tournament.   Knowing how tough it was for a lot of guys, makes it even more impressive in my book.  Nice job!

Congrats Don & Ray !  Numbers dont lie , and 2 boats in one month is a awesome feat for any angler here in the NW  .. Great job guys :-)

That is an amazing feat for sure. As hard as that is to accomplish, I am not overly surprised that they did it. Don and Ray always do well on the river. If there was another one this weekend I would bet on those two again...either combination. Nice job and the tax man is going to love you!

Congratulations again, Don and Ray.  Your Sunday weight, while much smaller than Saturday, is even more impressive to me since the bite was very tough and different on Day 2.  Mike and I sure wish we had another half hour to fish on Day 2 as the bite was just starting to get good for us.

 

ciao,
Marc Marcantonio

Congrats, Don, Ryan and Ray!!! Excellent work.
