As a first full season fishing a W.O.N. circuit with DB, we really recognized how much effort you put into your events. DB and I are really looking forward to next year, there are some great teams that participate in this circuit / region, we had a chance to outdo them all but with two terrible finishes, our chances were tossed.... (that's fishing!), we want to re-deem next year! Congrats to Shaun and Doug for their AOY finish and all other Tri-States qualifiers! See everyone at the fish-off and especially next year!....thanks again Ron....you rock boy!

You HAVE to fish again next season because I promise to go the entire season without butchering your name. (Keep in mind that my name ALWAYS gets butchered).

It would be easy to take all of the credit for the success that my region has enjoyed for all of these years, but the truth of the matter is that I am blessed to have a GREAT staff and to have the best anglers in the entire West and you and Bob have proven to everyone that you are among them.

Our final tournament is always bitter-sweet for me. I get to (proudly) announce my region's Tri-States qualifiers, but, unfortunately, not everyone qualifies, as I wish they could. I have long said that, if you have ever been to a Tri-States, you don't EVER want to not make it again. And anyone who has been there knows just how proud I am of my teams.

I sincerely appreciate the fact that you and DB (and everyone else from the OC and all points south and east) were willing to make the long drive north. I know better than anyone how difficult this can be. Yet you guys did so without so much as a cross word and had an outstanding "rookie" season. You definitely had these guys looking over their shoulders at you.

Congrats to you and DB - and to all of the South Team Championship qualifiers from the WON BASS Southern California Region. Y'all got 'em GOOD!

I for one want to personally thank you. I have never fished your events but I appreciate the effort you put forth and your efforts are apparently greatly appreciated by everyone. I wish we had more people who were willing to put forth the effort to put on a quality event.

Thanks again and looking forward to seeing you here in NorCal.

We had a blast fishing your region this year. I think the way you handle your draw, weigh-in, raffle, etc.. is the best out there.
Also thanks to your staff for a great job done this year..

We look forward to next year already..

Keep up the good work!
