I attended the final day of the Bassmaster Ramada Quest tournament today (4/22), to see the winner of the 100,000.00 prize . A rookie angler named Jason Christie from Oklahoma took top place when he got into a school of bass that were in a shad feeding frenzy on top of the water .... he really hit the jackpot . It was fun to watch .... and of course , now I want a fishing boat ! I wound up being filmed in the preshow , and the congratulations ceremony afterward , because I was standing near the "Toyota " stage . The video is about 2 hours total , but if you fast forward to about 17:00 minutes into it , you'll see me to the right of the stage . I'm wearing a wide brim straw hat (very Arkansawish!) . I'm also on the video at about 1:21:0 (one hour 21 minutes) as well . It was a lot of fun to see it live , and a lot of excitement for this area to receive.

An angler hold up his catch
Boats with fisherman were pulled through a row in front of the weigh in stage , where they pulled the fish from the livewells and stepped on stage .

My vantage point in the crowd....
This is the motion you make when you earn 100,000.00 prize ....
This little girl sang the National Anthem before the weigh in ... she is only 3 years old..........

High dollar boats for big league fisherman ...
