I have been with the fruit jar series since its inception and have made some truly wonderful friends and learned a thing or two about crappie fishing.

With the drama of the TD Election and the way it was done and the pot stirring you have made something that was fun and enjoyable almost miserable to deal with. I have had way too many pm's and emails over this. I joined and supported the FJ series cause it was FUN, knowing up front you would be lucky to get your gas money back if you won. Well this has become NO FUN.

I said from the get go that the TD should be appointed by the FJ committee and any other FJ officers should be appointed by that committee. (No hurt feelings and no DRAMA)

Whomever gets on the FJ committee as far as rules or weighmaster has to be there at almost every tournament. I have missed one in the past 3 years.

I will still fish a few of the FJ's but I have made arrangements to guide and fish other trails next year.

It will be a relief to just show up and fish and not have any drama.
