2009 Year End Results and State Team
Attached are the year end results as well as the 12 man team.. Couple close positions had to be broken by big tie breakers.
I want to thank the many Iowa Bass Federation members for all of the support and best wishes given to me prior to the trip to the National Championship. All I can say is guys and gal(s)....just keep trying. It is never to late to get there. Only those of you who have made or barely missed the opportunity to fish the classic know the heart break that I felt after losing the couple of fish that would have got me to the big show.
I want to thank Triton Boats, Motor Guide, Mercury and Lowrance Electronics, as will all of you, for the $3000 Alliance Contingency award that I received.
A check for $3000 matching money was sent to the Iowa Federation, which we all should take note of. This is one real good reason to purchase a Triton boat and fish the Alliance Program. I and the Federation are still waiting for the $3500 from Ranger boats from 3 years ago, which we all know will never be received.
The Triton incentive is the best sponsorship that is available to us and is even better if you are a Triton Gold Member. Please consider a Triton as your next boat, if not for the fact alone that it is a great piece of equipment, especially when rigged with Mercury, Motorguide and Lowrance.
Triton has made a very large cash contribution to the Iowa Federation in the form of a sponsorship, which we need to thank Tom Bowler for negotiating. Earl Bentz has shown us that he is truly interested in helping the Federation to succeed with an organized Federation Program. We all need to contact him and display our grattitude, and we need to consider his great product when the time arises.
Thanks again everyone, and good luck to the state team at Bays De Noc and to the qualifier who gets to go to the Harris Chain. Ron Cherkas, ron@imagetransform.com
