Melanoma is No Joke: Reese, Ehrler remove stitches

Skeet Reese and Brent Ehrler removing stitches from Skeet’s lower back following the removal of Melanoma.  This should act as a reminder to do two things for all of us anglers who spend so much time out on the water.

#1 Cover up or use a good sunscreen and apply frequently
#2 Get yourself checked often.

Melanoma can be deadly; here is what the Cancer Treatment Centers of America have to say about it.

What is melanoma?

 

Melanoma is a form of cancer that begins in melanocytes, specialized cells in the skin that produce the brown pigment known as melanin. These are the cells that darken when exposed to the sun, a protective response to protect the deeper layers of the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

 

Melanoma is highly curable if caught early, but is much more likely than other forms of skin cancer to spread if left untreated.

John Murray Wins Toledo Bend

When the dust cleared at Toledo Bend after the final weigh in on Championship Sunday John Murray took the title.

John Murray has fished 223 Bassmaster events and every Elite Series tournament ever held.  He entered Sunday at Toledo Bend as arguably the greatest angler to have never won an Elite Series event. Unarguably, John Murray is one of the most liked guys within the Elite Series field and that showed at the weigh in.  With an estimated 25 Elite Series anglers on hand watching, which is not typical, Murray weigh in a whopping 24 lbs 15 ounces to take home his first Elite Series victory!  Congratulations to John Murray and his family!

Bassmaster staff and Elite Series professionals enjoyed seeing John Murray win on Toledo Bend. Here are just a few.
