Not to cold to win twice!

It may have been cold on the outside but Chad and Brian smoked us all with a hot one and started the year by putting not one, but two wins, in each of our cold frozen faces. Brian took the Club T and Big Fish award. Chad helped secure the most boat weight for the day. Not just in our tournament, but they also took the Bass Boat Central North Alabama Club for a ride took their money as well in boat weight and big fish. Al and Wayne took the second most boat weight. Congrats guys! Danny Howell from the BBC Club allowed me to post the image he shot.

Volunteers Needed for the Bassmasters Elite "Dixie Duel"

I will be the volunteer coordinator for the Bassmaster Elite Series "Dixie Duel" at Wheeler Lake on April 2-5. The time needed is from 2:30-5:30 each day Thursday - Sunday. I also need Camera Boats for ESPN - these are the only paid positions - for Sunday. I need 6. But, I require those six to be a volunteer at least one day on either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. If you are interested let me know. I will also be needing several other camera boats but am not sure of the number of days yet.
One is for the Bassmasters Magazine/Bass Times still camera and will be needed for all 4 days and the other boats will be for other media personnel. The volunteers will be the only ones allowed behind the stage this year.

See you there!

It may not be your team but they look good.

I received this image from Jann and Jenny Swaim, the club counselors for the Auburn Bass Sports Team showing the guys in the new jerseys I designed for them. They sent me a shirt with my name on it and had all the guys on the team sign it. I will be framing it and putting it next to my FLW Top Ten Team shirt. Pretty Sweet even if it ain't your colors.

I got your chili right here!

Now you know what the boys go to the back of Simpson's Creek for. You boys drop on by for some chili at Brian's if this can't warm you up.
