Conner had an amazing time at Nationals! I hope that one day he is blessed enough to be able to compete at that level again! His goal was to finish in the top half and catch at least three fish a day. He finished 21st out of 56 boats and caught his limit each day! More than that, BASS put on a first class event - they boys were treated like royalty: sponsors gave away swag, they had motivational speakers talk to the boys, they announced each team and let each boy give their thanks. Conner was able to attend Nationals, in part, to donations from family and friends. I am hopeful that the biggest lesson Conner will remember is how good it feels to receive in hope that one day he can give to and support other children. Each week, he wrote his sponsors a letter telling them how he was preparing for the tournament and how thankful he was. I am so very proud of Conner. He is amazing in every since of the word!
