if your sponsors need a reason as to wether or not to go forward, bring them on this site and have them look at the 105,000 times fisherman who buy their products have looked at your mug in the Gain shirt! Almost makes me want to buy it! Great reports all summer long!

Ditto what Gary said about page views for you. This thread is the first thing I read every time I log on. Congrats on cashing your last touney.

thanks Jess for taking your time to do this for us!!!! I myself look forward to an update everythime I log on......the sponsorship thing will work out!!!!!! congrats on a gut wrenching,head smashing,heart stopping, wallet emptying kind of year,...WE appreciate it! A check is a check!!!! I still have a copy of my first ever Ct Section PGA check,...72.oo but it was a check!!!!!

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years. My season for 2010 is looking pretty dismal so far. As far as I can tell I'm not going to get a sponsorship to fish the FLW Tour this season; or the FLW Series for that matter. The poor economy has really made an impact on our sport and it doesn't look like it's getting better anytime soon. Maybe I'll get a pleasant surprise, but I don't think so. I am planning on fishing the Northern Stren Series again, and I'm going to try and save the $3,000 entry fee to fish the FLW Series event on Lake Champlain. I may also try and fish the Northern Bass Opens, but I haven't decided yet. At the least I'll be fishing the Strens and whatever open tournaments I can here at home.

I shot my first buck the weekend after Thanksgiving. It was a big 10 point. I havn't had it scored yet, but I will once it comes back from the taxidermist.
