The father and son duo of Ron and Andrew Lindstrom have done about as well as anybody out there. The Monee pair cashed the last three events, and won last year with the above fish as their anchor.

I have fished about two thirds of the events with either Jim Giglio or Jeff Humenik. Jim's not fishing it this year because he will be watching his son play baseball. Haven't decided whether i will or not.

Here are the details:
