I would like to thank the members and participants that came through Mason's beat. He really learned a great deal and I believe was inspired by a lot of you guys. He really had a great time and is really looking forward to getting into the competition scene. He enjoyed being 'accepted' . I really enjoyed watching everyone have such a good time. A truly good time was had by Mason and I. Thanks Team Dead Drift!!

The pleasure was ours. It was great to meet you and Mason yesterday. He did an outstanding job as a controller on a tough beat. Thanks.

Thank you, Roland for coming up and volunteering your time for this event. Please relay thanks to Mason. He did an awesome job and if I can ever be of any help to him please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks guys!! I had so much fun watching ya`ll! Learned a lot about dry dropper rigs in beat four from all of you! I did get to fish a little after the horn was blown I went out right at the top of four in the slower water and caught a huge fish on the first cast!!
Thanks again guys can`t wait for the next one!!

Mason, thank YOU for all you did to help us at the Gold Cup. You were my controller for the 1st round at Frog Hollow on Sunday, and I couldn't have asked for a better beat judge! Glad you were able to pick up on some of that dry dropper stuff I was using, though it was nothing groundbreaking. I look forward to seeing you on the water soon. Let me know if you want to get together and wet a line sometime.

Hey Derek I would love to meet somewhere and fish. We need to find a good river between Chickamauga and Atalanta so you won`t have to drive four hours to get to say the nanthala. I am going to the south holston this weekend for thanksgiving break after that i will let you know and we can meet up somewhere and fish.
