Incredible Sportsmanship & Extraordinary Service Displayed at Pickwick Classic 

During the 2007 Bass World Classic on Pickwick Lake, Jason Downen’s lower unit blew out.  Most of the anglers at the Classic already know that Jason Hazelhorst of Belleville Sports Sales drove to Nashville, TN, met up with him about 12.30 am that night and replaced the Lower unit for him.  Obviously anyone looking for a boat dealer that provides good service should keep this in mind the next time they are shopping for a new boat.
              What most people don’t know is that Carl Wasem and Mike Hofstetter quit fishing on that 1st day and ran up the lake to our location to see what they could do to help us.  Knowing they had a good bag of fish and were in contention, they were more concerned about the well being of a fellow angler then what they might accomplish with more fishing time.
             These 2 anglers gave Jason a ride back to the ramp to weigh in and get his Truck and Trailer to come back down the lake to pick me and the boat up at the closest ramp, unfortunately dealing with this disaster neither of us thought to get the keys out of the boats glove box!  2 more anglers were right there to lend a helping hand Jeff Faust and Ken Voelkerding took their boat back to their hotel came back to McFarland Park got Jason’s Trailer and took him to pick up myself and the Boat.  It took about 3 hours out of their evening to do this.
            The two teams finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Classic.  When you see these gentlemen and are congratulating them, please make mention of what great Sportsmen these 4 gentlemen are.  If Bass World Sports gave out Sportsmen of the year awards these 4 would certainly be deserving of the Honor.
          The biggest problem I see is how you could possibly choose one team over the other.  The 4 of them are role models and deserve the respect of Anglers everywhere. 

Sincerely
AJ Johnson & Jason Downen
You wonder daily “Are there any good people left in the world?”
…….MOST DEFINITELY!!!
