Any report on how the California boys fared yesterday at the Federation Regionals?

Word on the Street Cameron Smith was leading it with a little under 13 pounds after day one......

After muttling my way thru the TBF site (which is Gawd aweful, imho), I found the info.

You mean Ish is not there? Cameron shouldn't be fishing Feds like Ish shouldn't be fishing Strens. Cameron is not a club fisherman. Get off the little league fields guys.

I welcome Cam and anyone else to fish the fed. events. the stiffer the competition the better. Go get Cammie and the CA State Team sitting in 2nd.

[Ray L.]

Cam has been fishing the fed for a long time.
No reason to grind on him.
No big deal if Ish fishes the Stren as well. Ike has done it for a long time as well as many others. If the schedule fits they fish. Just like many in the Elite's fish the Open's as well.

I completely disagree with you Robert.

I myself like fishing tournaments against the best anglers in the country-even if I get my butt kicked.

I am fishing against the fish and they don't have a clue as to who is on the other end of the line.

Plus, there are no rules against these guys fishing those events and it happens and has happened all over the country. I loved fishing against Mike Ike at last years Stren Championship.

I don't see the problem.

[Robert F]

I know you don't mind Ricky but there are a lot that do. I know I won't fish team tournaments because of the jackpotters. It hurts the fields when guys get tired of donating to a few.

There are plent of FED fisherman who would do quite well in the bigger events and choose not to due to the cost of the event or travel. I have never heard of any FED fishermen complaining about who fishes our events. I actually have known Cam fro many years and had the pleasure of fishing with him at teh TOC this year and let me tell you he is one hell of a guy and a great fisherman as well. Hell tell ISH he is welcome as well, Come and get ya some baby.

Stoked to see Cam leading after day 1!

Looks like a CA took 2nd overall, WA took 4th overall. You are definately right, the website is junk.
