Thanks, Mark, for the outstanding batch of bass. And I would also like to give a shout out to the rest of our bunch who made for yet another exciting year of fish stories. Stay tuned for a final stat update sometime in January to put the finishing touch on the 2018 Top 5. In addition, I will have a series of wrap-ups that take a look at the all-time stats as we conclude year number five of our project. Plenty more other stuff too for December to close out the year so stay tuned. Talk to you later. Troy
