Good showing. But I wonder why CrappieUSA shows Cole 29th in amateur division? Must been strange seeing wrapped boat and sponsor shirt weighing in amateur division.

Darryl was fishing with Bill Badley, didn't check to see which boat they took,
as both are "big O's" except Darryl's is wrapped.

I believe they were listed at 19th...........Only fished Friday and did not catch
enough to move into second day and be competitive.

Bill Badey is an amateur and this was first national tournament - wanted to go in
as amateur....
This would be my best guess
