THE BASS FEDERATION OF R.I.

First off, a big congrats to our two national competitors Leo Bevelaqua, and John Ahern. Great job to the both of you, and best of luck at the 2012 TBF nationals. Secondly, I would like to thank the team for working together in many ways while in Maine, and hats off to John Candelmo for stepping up as our president, team captain, and also for fishing with the team to fill a void, all while attending meetings, dealing with all the arising issues, and handling it all like a true professional! Thanks to all who helped myself, and others with gear and or tackle when needed. Just about everybody willingly gave advice, baits, and even areas to each other, and thats what a true team does. RI is on its way, and growing as a better group of guys working together, and John is obviously doing a great job making it happen in the RI TBF. I myself had a bad event, but had a great time with the the team, and am looking forward to the 2012 divisional on Champlain where I know we will continue to strive to be a better group of guys working together to make RI TBF the best it can be.
