Had a VERY winning year aboard the BassCat Pantera this year! We fished good, caught lots of fish, won some money, and took 1st place in our division. Also throughout the tourny season we qualified for the Fall Classic on Muskegon lake which takes place tomorrow and Saturday. I was looking forward to fishing this tourny, we both were, and we worked hard to learn this lake, and to make sure we were 1 of the final teams standing, but..... Today at about 1:00 pm on my last day of practise for the biggest tourny of my life that all came to a hault when I stripped a gear in the gear box for the steering..... Got all the cables pulled out of the boat when we got home, but cant find anyone who has them in stock. Sucks not being able to fish this tourny, been looking forward to it since last spring, but some things happen....... Better part of my day tomorrow will be spent cleaning up the boat, putting rods and tackle into storage, and beginning to winterize her. Gonna miss the open water, this year was by far one of my favorite and successful years on the water, but all good things come to an end......

Damn dude, that sucks. Do you have to enter with the same boat, or just the same team?

Just the same team..... Had 2 other guys who werent fishing this weekend offer their boats up to me, but I am not familiar with either of their boats, and although its the same principle for the most part, each boat handles differently and i've never stepped foot on either of them, so although very greatful for the offers, I did not feel comfortable hopping in one of their boats. I did just find out that tomorrows competition is cancelled, and now they're down to just a shootout saturday.

I don't winterize my boat until about the end of November so I can get out on the river a few times during my Thanksgiving weekend for some steelies. Breaks my heart even then.
