Brian Snowden Finishes 2nd In Lewisville E50

Lewisville, TX- PROCRAFT^®'sBrian Snowden used consistency and big bass the final two days of the event, finishing 2nd to NITRO^® Pro Kevin Vandam.
Itwas a fun experience. I had a good practice for a change and started catching fish right away. I tried to build on the pattern I found in practice and worked on a couple other patterns as well. I had caught a lot of fish and had a lot of confidence going into the event.
Afterthe first day I had to make up a little bit of ground being in 23rd place and was able to adjust and catch some fish on a jig and carolina rig which really helped out. Being able to adjust really helped me on the final two days, allowing me to fish and catch big bass the 3rd day. I got lucky and caught big bass on the final day, I was beginning to think I wasn't going to catch anything, the bite got tough.
Beingqualified for the 2005 Classic, I really would like to have top finish in the last E50 to make the Classic for 2006.
Ireally would have like to have won this, but finishing 2nd to the Tiger Woods of fishing, Kevin Vandam is an honor.
Ireally wished I had been fishing out of my PROCRAFT^® boat the last couple of days. I am so comfortable in my boat and it really takes the edge off trying to use a competitors boat and equipment.
Goodluck to Brian and all of the PROCRAFT^® Pros in the final Elite 50 event at Lake Wissota in Chippewa Falls, Wis.
