Steve Kennedy's Heavyweight titles

Steve Kennedy took home two BASS Heavyweight belts last night at the year end banquet for the Bassmaster Elite Series. Heavyweight belts are given to all anglers who caught over 100 lbs of fish in a tournament during the season. Steve also got a belt in the '06 season, so he holds the most titles on tour.

His wife, Julia couldn't be prouder.

Steve Kennedy is not sure

Kennedy knows that he and Peter T are close and he was regretting the loss of a 5 pounder earlier in the day. He said he broke 65 lb braid today. Then he got on a swimbait pattern. He was excited about catching a 3 and a half pouind smallie on a swimbait. "I knew they'd hit it but to get one to eat it was fun"

Steve Kennedy's practice

I just heard a story about Steve Kennedy that made me want to pull for him even more here at the Bassmaster Memorial.

Evidentally Steve's grandmother died last week. She was 94 years old and on here way to get a manicure and pedicure when she was in a car accident. Those details tell you a lot about a 94 year old woman - that she was still driving and that she was still getting pedicures. I bet she was a pistol.

Anyway, Steve only got one day of practice for this event. And here he is on the final day. I bet Grandma is smiling down right now.
