The Rise and Fall of The Dumbest

While certainly there was no shortage of incredible story lines coming from the inaugural Fishing With Dummies Spring Classic, the tale that tops all others is the incredible rise and fall of Brian D. Ackermann.  Early on Saturday Acky recorded what is by far the largest fish caught among the group ever at 6 lbs, 6 oz.  With that one fish he outweighed all of team D'Avolio's catches.  Incredibly, he followed it in the afternoon session with a 4 lb, 4 oz pig. Having broken the group's Bow Lake record with his second fish, he left onlookers wondering - why do they call this guy the dumbest?

And then Sunday happened.  The day's pairing of Senior and Acky started out strong with Senior pulling a 3 lb, 6 ouncer.  An hour or so later Senior hooked up again.  With what was estimated to be a 2 pounder approaching the side of the boat it happened.  Acky, unfamiliar with playing role of supporting cast member went in a bit too hot with the net.  What went through his mind at that moment is anyone's guess.  Maybe he was angry with the idea of someone else getting all the action.  Probably he was hungry and distracted by his liver's call for more green tea.  Definitely he was regretting his dozens of comments following Senior's swim.

A note for viewers.  There is no need to adjust the brightness setting of your monitors. It's really that bad.  Thank you Dummy.
