I can't believe it but our Nick and his fishing partner, Jackson, are headed to Icasstt Nationals next month. Nick called us on Saturday feeling pretty confident and asked Mike and I to come on Sunday for weigh in. When we arrived yesterday, however, Nick, Jackson and their captain, BJ, were not feeling overly confident. In order to make Nationals you have to place in the top 15. Nick and Jackson weighed their fish early on. At first they were in 6th place but as more and more people weighed their fish their position kept going down. It was a real nail biter. Mike and I watched the screen until the end when it was revealed Nick and Jackson took 14th place. They secured a position to head to South Carolina in July. To say we are over the moon is an understatement. I am so thrilled for Nick and our family. Mike will be going with Nick so it will be a father/son road trip filled with memories I'm sure. I'm so thankful for this team and especially Jon, Nick's coach.
Nick and his fishing partner, Jackson, after they learned they had placed and were going to Nationals!
Jackson, their coach, Jon and Nick. Big smiles from these boys!
