Congratulations to Leo! What a fantastic accomplishment. Not since #^&#^&#^&#^& Hathaway in 78-79 or Serge de Somov in early sixties (3 in a row) has anyone won the bass back to back (40.19 lbs). And to do it with the 3000 plus entries each of both years as well as to do it only fishing 1 week of each derby is just amazing. Great job Leo! I hope your key is again the lucky one tomorrow!

WAITINGS ALL OVER , WAY TO GO LEO. wish you All the luck tomorrow.

Congrats and hat's off to Leo....

that great Leo, congrats!

excellent

Thanks for the kind words guys, I have a passion for surfcasting as i know you all do. Sometimes when fishing things just click and nothing is going to stop you, The fish on the end of the line has years in the water too but when I'm in that mode and my offering is doing what i want it to do and line has been checked, Knots are retied. I will that fish onto the beach, I target big fish when i'm on MV you have to.

It is just great fishing a new area I find a lot of things are the same as where i fish in Rhode Island, Structure rocks and sandbars. The only things different are the spots withen the spots, And that can be figured out with patiance and determintation and time. The MV derby is top notch tourny very well run by fisherman for fisherman, it is my honor to be listed in the record book with the past winners.

:thanks:

Congrats! good luck on the 3 -peat!

UN-REAL!!!!
