“Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for making my fishing success possible. Having the God given ability to compete at this level leaves me with tears of joy. The emotion didn’t sink in until Saturday early morning as I was headed down the lake in front of Brockett’s Slough along with the other TOP 10 FLW COSTA BOYS!! I was riding down the lake some 70+ mph in 35 degree weather and the emotion hit me so hard I started pumping my fist with one hand and driving with the other.” — Matt Baty Fishing Facebook Page
