He has done great in the ledge events. Just watched him today almost win at pickwick.....
I think he fished out of a Sprint boat back then, not 100% positve. I think the whole hp rating thing kept him from winning a BFL regional. But I believe they ended up giving him a new Ranger after it was all said and done.
