Great fisherman and a really good year. I always wonder why the always refer to him as "Damiki pro Bryan Thrift" . They don't call Skeet "Lucky Craft pro Skeet Reese" or "Strike King pro Kevin VanDam"

Because it is FLW. They are all about promoting their sponsors name. They are extremely strict about what can be worn etc. I hear if you wear a non sponsor shirt, hat etc... and make it to the final day, you won't get any air time (exact thing that happened to Ike). Kinda makes it tough to sponsor anyone who fishes FLW from a corporate point of view and on the flipside, tough to get sponsors if you are an angler fishing FLW.

They (FLW) do that with all the pros Chevy-Folgers-Yamaha-Ranger. Not bad Damiki one FLW pro on tour and he is AOY!! best of luck next year
