Congrats to Team Pittsburg Marine Fisherman Jason McFarland (Great l@@king shirt) & partner Michael Carter of Campbellsville, Ky for their 6th place finish in the 2 day NTBA Tournament on Lake Cumberland. Unfortunately they missed the top 5 cut by 1/100th of an ounce (OUCH!!) to fish the NTBA Championship on Ky Lake that would have gave them a chance to qualify for the Bassmasters Classic!!
