| WALKING OUT INTO THE EARLY MORNING BEFORE THE SUN WAS UP, YOU COULD TELL IT WAS GOING TO BE A HOT DAY. IT WAS LIKE A BLANKET OF THICK AIR. THIS SHOULD HAVE FORTOLD US THAT WE SHOULD STAY IN THE AIR CONDITIONING THIS DAY. BUT DID WE LISTEN? NO, OF COURSE NOT...WE ARE DEDICATED TO THIS SPORT. WE HAD A LAUNCH TIME OF 6:00 AM. WE WERE ABLE TO KICK-OFF NO PROBLEMS ON TIME. AS THE DAY WENT ON, IT WAS JUST HOTTER AND HOTTER. A FEW PEOPLE WENT HOME EARLY BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. ALL TOTAL, THERE WERE 32 PEOPLE THAT SHOWED TO TELL MOTHER NATURE YOU CAN MAKE IT HOT, BUT WE'LL STILL BE HERE! BY THE TIME 2:00 ROLLED AROUND, PEOPLE WERE COMING IN JUST SHAKING THEIR HEADS. AFTER THE TOURNAMENT AT FUQUA, SO MANY PEOPLE EXPECTED SO MUCH FROM THIS DAY. THE LAKE WAS JUST NOT IN A VERY GIVING MOOD. NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIR TEMP, BUT THE WATER TEMP WAS IN THE LOW 80'S MOST EVERYWHERE. AS BAD OF A DAY AS IT WAS, FOUR PEOPLE MANAGED TO BRING IN 1 FISH EACH.
