And Rick finishes in 7th place.  His best Elite tourny in his three years on the tour.

I didn't look at the standings today.  But yesterday if he'd done as well as the first two days he would have been about third or so.  Anyway it's a really good finish and a confidence boost, I'm sure.

It is often times very tough to keep duplicating a good effort during a 3 or 4 day tournament due to weather and fishing pressure, especially when traffic increases during the weekends.  He did a fine job!
