In 2017 I decided to fish the Northern Opens in a effort to qualify for the Bass Master Classic on my home lake of Lake Hartwell. I came about as close as I can with out actually making it. A 3rd place finish at Douglas lake was a great confidence booster however. Follow along my practice and hang out behind the scenes with me in this video.
