Shad_Master Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Does anyone know the backstory on the guy with G-Man at the weigh in? That all happened so fast and I wasn't ready for it. Quote
Bass XL Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 From what I hear, he has pancreatic cancer, and was given 1 year to live. Which hits close to home with G-man, because Swindle lost his brother to the exact same thing Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted February 20, 2011 Super User Posted February 20, 2011 In my opinion, the greatest thing about sports is the memories it makes for it's competitors and it's fans. So when we all gather here later this evening or on Monday morning to talk about the winner of this year's event, let's not forget that the first victory claimed belonged to a Kevin. The second came to a man named Gerald who helped bring him into our lives. Kevin Oldham lived up to every requirement that makes the mark of a champion on Saturday. The story of his fight with cancer, the support of his fellow firefighters, and the ability of a guy named Swindle to set aside his own time in the spotlight, should etch an evening into our memories. There were a lot of champions on display last night. Here's the rest of story for one of them: http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/columns/story?columnist=barone_don&page=g_col_Barone_Classic_Angels Quote
Shad_Master Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 I knew it was something special, it just happended so quickly and out of the blue, that I didn't know what. Quote
WanderLust Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 It was awesome! G-Man showed some real class and depth of character. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted February 21, 2011 Super User Posted February 21, 2011 Way to Go G-Man!!!! Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 This was the best part of the tournament to me. Here are a couple of the links to the story from the BASS page. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/columns/story?columnist=barone_don&page=g_col_Barone_Classic_Angels http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/columns/story?columnist=barone_don&page=g_col_Barone_Classic_AngelsII Quote
