Gary Klein – “Even though I had 16 pounds on Day 1, I’ll still tell you this is a tough fishery. I had very few bites -- but they were the right bites. I caught a 5-pounder and a 6-pounder in one 30-minute flurry.”
Kelly Jordon – “I had no idea two or three weeks ago that I’d do this well. I was hopeful, but I certainly wasn’t banking on catching a 26-pound limit.”
Gerald Swindle – “That jig is so pretty, you’re probably thinking I got it from Japan. Nope … I whittled that one out on the tailgate of my Tundra right here in Conroe, Texas.”
Shaw Grigsby – “I’ve been fishing a long time, but still, when you hook a 9-pounder in 3 feet of water, and the fish is wrapping your line around a dock piling – that never gets old – I was an emotional mess.”
Terry Scroggins – “Never had one of these before. We don’t have a Starbucks in Palatka. I picked this up at McDonalds here in Conroe this morning. It’s called a caramel frappe, it’s good, but I’m hoping it doesn’t hurt me. There’s a lot of homes around this lake, and I’d hate for anybody to see my shiny hiney.”
