In memeory of fellow CDC member and friend Nathan Scholtz.

Just got the news that Nate (daspeckhunter) was killed in a tradgic boating accident sometime yesterday. He was one of my best friends and tournament partner, He passed doing what he loved........fishing. Please pray for him and his family during this hard time. His brother was in a accident a few years ago and was paralized. His family has been through alot and I wish them the best of luck. Here is the last pic me and him took together (Nate on left), a little over a month ago at the FCC Clasic. We came in 2nd, we also came in 5th at the CrappieUSA tournament last weekend. He can never be replaced and will certainly never be forgotton. Tight lines my friend!!!
