As a lot of you know I know a flw tour pro named Frank Ippoliti. He has been talking about going to wheeler lake in Alabama for weeks now he loves that lake. He left here on Saturday the last I talked to him was on tues. He said that he wasnt on much he was catching fish but they were little ones. He went to a place that he marked like 6 years ago and started catching some quality fish. It was on a bluff. He never left that place the whole tournament. He was in 4th going into the last day and ended up winning. I called him Sun. he answered the phone sounding depressed i asked "was it a bad tournament" not knowing that he had won. he replied "no im just tired, its always good when you win". He ended up with like $56k Ill talk to him tommorrow he was using one of my lures till it broke so ill have to get that from him when i see him tommorrow.

Could you help out fellow fishermen. I'm going to wheeler lake to fish in the BFL Wild Card on Nov. 2-3 for the first time. Any advise would be helpfull. E-mail me at ronnie7061@bellsouth.net
Thanks
If you are ever coming to S.C. maybe I could return the favor.

My father in law missed the cut by a couple pounds, just couldn't duplicate what he did the first day.

And as far as the 56k goes, basically he won a boat, cause they'll give you a boat valued at 50k, then you have to pay the title, taxes, and license, which weirdly enough equals about 5300 bucks.
