I just made my drive immediately coming from work in Chelsea, Okla., to Grove. I got word from one of my fellow SBA (Sooner Bass Anglers) that there was a bowling tournament going on at Canterbury Lanes between several pro anglers along with ESPN's Mark Zona and Mark Jeffreys from Basszone.com.
Once I finally found the bowling alley, I walked in and it was kind of crazy that I got the chance to hangout and got to watch these guys just cut loose have a good time — completely different from when they are on the water. Kelly Jordan, Derek Remitz, Casey Ashley, Steve Kennedy, Marty Robinson, and Kevin Wirth were all the pros in attendance. These guys are definitely competitive no matter what they do.
I was talking to Steve Kennedy's wife, Julia, and she told me after the pre-tournament meetings they were at the bowling lanes practicing. Also, Kelly Jordan came to the alley with his own bowling ball. Afterward, everyone was just standing around I got the chance to talk to Derek Remitz about how he felt about the remainder of the tournament. He told me that he thought he felt good about sitting in eleventh and thought he could catch a good sack tomorrow.
It was really cool relating to someone my age. I wanted to get a picture with Steve Kennedy but was hesitant to ask him. However, I found out that he was a very personable and a great guy. Plus, how many other people have a picture with Steve Kennedy holding a bowling ball? The whole night was a lot of fun and almost surreal. Tomorrow I am going to be out on the water and at the weigh in and can't wait to see what the day will bring.
