J.A Veil,
Go win this thing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. However, I am already in the SRRKC pickerel tournament and do not plan to enter the CCA one. The CCA tournament does not allow live bait (my preference for pickerel in the winter) nor does it allow treble hooks (as found on many common lures). Someone else will have to be the CCA pickerel king.
