Wow! I'm glad I found this forum! Keep it going!
I too had planned to fish on the WBT trail last year (2010) when BASS dropped it. I was so disappointed...I had finally gotten to where I could financially start fishing some of the national tournaments and then that happened.
I heard about the formation of what would become the LBAA, and attended the May meeting at KY Lake and then the Kick-Off Tournament on Arkansas' Lake Dardanelle, where I won the Co-Angler division! That made up my mind to fish the complete LBAA circuit this year. My best finish was at Old Hickory Lake where I won Co-Angler Big Bass and came in 8th overall. Next stop is Kentucky Lake for the Lady Bass Classic!
