Legit, never heard his name that I know of. Granted, I graduated high school in 1992, wasn't following professional fishing back then (I don't follow it now other than watching some videos or TV shows).

I'm just making this point: Watch ANY professional fishing and you're going to see this.... Some dude from Indiana that nobody's ever heard of, he's like 25 years old, qualifies to fish the Classic through winning all the local then regional divisions, against DANG good fishermen who've done it years longer than him, comes to Lay Lake ALABAMA (random example)....he's never even been to Alabama, much less been on Lay. I've lived my whole life an hour from Lay, fished it a few dozen times, only ever caught a handful of nice fish, and generally caught 10-14 pounds of fish in every derby I've fished there. I've got a $60K boat with $1,000's of electronics and gear too, just like they do. Yet this 25yr old dude from 7 states away comes down here and catches 22-1/2 pounds on the first day, and maybe finishes 4th overall in the Classic over the 4 days. HOW?????????????? What did he know, how did he know it, how in the WORLD does that work??????? Explain that crap??????!!!! Yeah, he hired a guide 6 months ago, but so what....he still had to come down here on a hope and prayer and assume the info was good, the fish were there, and they bit!!! Divine providence. There's literally ZERO, nothing , not a single thing he could have done or known that ANY other fisherman couldn't also have done or known, so what's the difference?

I wasn't picking at that Hamilton guy, just saying how remarkable (actually inexplicable) it was that he'd catch a 7 pounder on Logan Martin. In the CLASSIC!! That wouldn't have been a big deal at Guntersville, but Logan??!!
