2016 Elite Series Toledo Bend Many, Louisiana 14th Place / 15 fish, 52-11 My past tournament history on Toledo Bend included two good finishes and one poor one, so I was looking forward to this event.

I did decently in both of them, finishing in the thirties both times, but they were very tough events so I […]
