"The handicapped angler"
NBAA had a great program back in the day. I remember fishing the Detroit Open when we launched at St Jeans and went down to the DNR marina on the river for the start. Then had the weigh in at Riverdays.
Did a championship at Hubbard and the Saginaw river. After it was sold it went away. I think there is a local division now but the championship is in Missouri.
I remember that "championship" on Hubbard. Was totally screwed up from the start. From finding out at the meeting " dinner" that the grand prize was a thousand dollars total ( they year before on mullett/burt was a boat), to the piss poor decision to move the launch ramp from the east side to the south side at the ramp that morning instead of paying attention to the wind and changing it the previous night , to putting us out in a storm where my line hung in the air multiple casts, to the director saying it was his last event ever with NBAA, it was a total crap show from the start. Then finding out they took 30% off the top of every entry fee. That was the last straw for me with the NBAA. Glad WMB got bigger as it seems to be the best circuit out there with the best coverage in the state.
Best part about that deal was you tipping me off about that Motel. When I called to cancel that lady was Pissed. I bet she has your picture on the wall.
I fished the one on one championship on Sunday. Everyone had went home because of the bad weather. I think there were 7 boats. I got second but they only paid 1 place. The guy got a power pole but no money.
Yeah that motel was just garbage. I looked it up and I think someone bought it and it looks remodeled now, but it could just be good pictures.
