Wow! having done only a couple of 10 boat local tourneys this was amazing to me. In no particular order are some of the things that I would like to comment on. 1. Arrived at the plant on Tuesday and got to shake hands and chat with Ron Pierce-awesome! 2. Talked with Dori and her helper while Pete got some parts that I had wanted, all very friendly and listened to some funny stories via “Doris Helper”. 3. Well organized!!! 4. Tough to fish, Norfork is the antithesis of what I fish (shallow and dirty), but beautiful scenery. 5. I enjoyed Ricks speech/conversation on Thursdays Social. Bold enough to show that Religion and Politics are important to them/company, without stepping on anyone Elses toes. 6. As for moving to another location, the Ozark hills just feel like vacation to me. 5 hours is probably the longest I will travel, so if it is every other year thats fine with me. 7. I saw another post earlier and I have to say everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful, (anglers and staff). I hope all had a safe return home and to the father and son from St. Louis with the “new to them Pantera”, I enjoyed talking with you while we waited out the lightning I wish you the best! John S.
