No. 3  in the box for Cliff Crochet. I Marshaled with Cliff at Guntersville 9 years ago when he was a rookie. That day, in the first hour of the tournament, he fired up a school and boxed 20 plus pounds. Caught them almost every cast. That was the first time this Michigan angler had seen someone find a big school of Tennessee River fish and hammer 'em. It was awesome! I'm hoping he finds that big wad of fish here on the St. Lawrence.
