Chattanooga Mayor Helping Out at CBA

[rsimms]

This is kind of cool. Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield is actually going to make an appearance at this weekend's CBA Weigh-In.

Glad to see city fathers taking an interest. I'm not sure who "politicked" that deal, but it's good. emoThumbsup

Now we just need to get him actually fishing! emoFish

Thats pretty awesome man! Congrats to CBA for the success they have had over the years. I know many people have much respect for the guys who compete in the league and only hope its gets better over the years. It takes a lot to be as organized and community oriented as the CBA and I know the community appreciates all the guys who make the CBA what it is. CBA is more than just Chattanooga, the whole Tri-State area is associated in some way. Nice job guys and gals! emoThumbsup emoThumbsup emoThumbsup

Thanks... apparently you weren't around back in the day when a gang of the CBA Elite marched into the Times Sports Editor's office with a desire to lynch me over something I'd written about the CBA. emoBigsmile

I'd written a column about a splinter group who tried to start up a bass tourney circuit in direct competition with CBA... I can't remember details. I just remember my editor sharing details of the CBA visit with a look that could best be described as "wide-eyed terror."

BTW, the "splinter group" didn't last but 2 or 3 years. Obviously CBA prevailed.

Trouble maker in your younger days eh Richard?

I hope the mayor gets to see me weight about 25lbs of toads.

Chattanooga needs to get involved in getting some of the big catfish tournaments hosted there. They have one of the best opportunities around. It's perfectly set up for one just like Memphis.
