Bassmasters on Lake Jordan

We went to Wetumkpka today to watch the best 12 bass fishermen in the world weigh in their big fish after fishing all day at Lake Jordan. It was actually pretty cool and the boys were totally in awe especially Jeremy. There were lots of big beautiful bass boats and some pretty big fish. It was all taped and will air on ESPN on September 27th. We are going to DVR it and see if we see ourselves. They have another tournament next weekend in Montgomery so we are hoping to go see the weigh in for that too. Nick stood right next to the fence with a bunch of kids and he got all of their autographs on the back of his t-shirt. We got to meet Mike Iaconelli, Gerald Swindle, Kevin Van Dam, Skeet Reese, and many more. We also got to see Mark Zona and the ESPN guys. Nick was so in awe of being up close to the fishermen and so star struck by them signing his shirt. Aidan and Nick both caught a bunch of freebie tackle they were throwing out at the beginning of the show. Aidan hasn't let go of his bag of worms since. We really had a great day today but now we are all tired and ready for bed!
