Day Three Weight-In

Today was quite a day; I got the chance to visit with my favorite angler, Oklahoma pro (OU alumni) Jeff Kriet, after his weigh-in.

He is such a nice guy; he basically broke down his day. It was awesome just listening to him talk about his day.You can really tell he was really pumped about leading the tournament.

I knew he had a great sack today because when I came out of the ESPN trailer at about 2:30, Kriet was just chilling out backstage with his 24-pound sack 30 minutes early. After his weigh-in, he came up to Justin Hurd and I said, "Dude, sweet jerseys!" He also told us that he would help us out with some up-and-coming college tournaments, and we got some pictures with him that will be posted soon.

The highlight of the whole thing was when he invited me and Justin Hurd down to fish with him on his private lake. Man, being here in person is awesome!

Oh, I almost forgot — When I was watching the weigh-in wearing my Sooners fishing jersey, two little kids walked right past Rick Clunn and asked me for my autograph. I was pretty embarrassed but I signed their hats anyway. It was flattering.
