    Melvin was the number one reason why I was going to the Okoboji rally, was really looking forward to meeting him. Prayers sent for his family that they can get though this hard time.

    Maybe we could raise the tournament entry some and donate it all to the family?

    I just want to thank everyone for the kid words and everything everyone one had done. He will be missed dearly and a large whole is left in my heart.
    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
