Scott, you may be right, didn't get real close look at them -due to crowding at ramp
when he loaded

Correction: Winners of tournament

Billy Williams was fishing with his BnM rods.....and Danny Williamson
was using Wally Marshall's, both of excellant quality. I was only able to
note the WM's when they were loading boat from distance, my error.
