Conner would fish sun up to sun down. Every day, he wakes up ready to go out to the dock. He was so excited when the lake decided to start up their crappie tournaments again. Jason was going out of town the weekend of the tournament so Jeremiah volunteered to be Conner's partner in the tournament. As a result, Conner required that Jeremiah come over each night the week before the tournament to prepare. They rigged their lines, talked about lures and hot spots and practiced. Conner even packed their lunch 5 days prior to the tournament. The night before, he couldn't sleep - in the morning when it was time to get ready (at 5:30) he was wide away. Jeremiah brought him his first coffee and off they went. They didn't win the tournament but Conner had a great day. My favorite part is that all of the fisherman were rooting for him - they truly love him. Oh, the other best part was that Conner wanted he and Jeremiah to look like the pros so he made sure they had matching shirts. You should have seen Jeremiah's face...a memory of a lifetime.
