“Are you glad you fished the Bassmaster Elites, and what did you get out of it?”
“Yea! Met some lifelong friends & enjoyed running around the country chasing bass. Competing at that level takes a LOT of work and dedication. I kept a full time job the entire time I fished at that level. Looking back, I kinda wish I could have not worked and strictly focused on fishing.”
“What do you miss, what don’t you miss?”
I miss being on the road traveling to all the great fisheries, the people, the camaraderie, the fans, the competition… I don’t miss being away from home.”
How Important is fishing, of any kind, to you
“It’s important… it’s not life & death like it used to seem. We try to go at least weekly & ideally fish 6-8 competitive tournaments a year.”
“What are you up to now?”
“Working. Fishing. Loving everyday!”
