Kelly & I just wanted to say thanks for another great Fed Cup experience! Hats off to our executives who did the organization & planning, to the volunteers who gave their time and to all of our teammates and competitors alike! We would also really like to thank our " pasta boys " ( and their moms.... ) for the fabulous fixings on the Saturday. In spite of the disappointment we all feel, we had a great finish and we should all be proud. We deserve to feel proud because we all left it on the lake. Can't wait til next year! ( hopefully Kelly was not too traumatized and will return.... )

Hey Brent, I'd like to second and echo your comments! In spite of my dismal performance I am truly proud of everyone who participated. We finished third but we're moving up and serving notice for future years! Congrats to everyone especially Russ for his 7th place finish on the boater side and Matthew & Niko for their money finishes on the non-boater side. Also kudos to Frank for his monster "BIG FISH"!
Cheers,
Dave

Hey Brent, great post.
Had a great time for my first time at the Fed Cup. I was under the weather, and thus the reason for me getting to bed a little earlier in the night. Also, with Figueira as your roommate, its difficult to sleep.LOL
Congrats to Russ on your 7th place finish, and Matthew and Niko on your cash earnings.
Frank, great largie. I hear you owe Sebastien a lunch or dinner.
Thanks everybody for the great time, and I hope Jasper and Bobby cleaned up the picnic benches and mess at the JW Marriott.

Hey Barry
I have no regrets on the weekend and you and Rui were great partners. Also we weighed in 3 of your bass on a 6 bite day.
Hey I am pissed we didn't go back to where we started because the fish turned on later.

Wanna say thank you for my first ever fed cup experience. I will definitely be at next years. Hopefully not sleeping with the roaches but other then that it was awesome. To bad we couldnt finish 1st but we did put in a great effort. Congrats to Mark and Russ. And to Niko and Matt. Also Frank with that big largies.
As a first year fisherman and first year doing tournaments I'm happy i am a member of the NGTA club. All of the members are amazing people and made me feel welcomed to the club. Happy you all enjoyed our pasta our mothers taught us well. Lol
Thanks to everyone who organized this event and made it what it was and to my two partners Jason and Al for teaching me a thing or 2 while on the water.

I do lots of events over the season and always look forward to this event. 1 because we work well as a team together sharing info and that's very cool, 2 we laugh our ass' off and have a great time, 3 we have some awesome sticks in the club and it's only a matter of time before we win this thing.
Thanks to the pasta boys for the food and everyone who participated and helped make this happen. Cheers to the exec team as always for keeping NGTA tight.

I also want to recognize Kelly for all her efforts! She basically did whatever the club needed, stepped up to be a non when needed and stepped down when asked plus helped with everything else! THANKS Kelly!
