Thought I won the tournament!
I was having a pretty good first day at Clear Lake during the West Coast Bass tournament when I made a cast and felt a bite. I instinctively set into it and at first it felt like I had set into a log. That immediately changed as the rod began peeling out drag and the [...]
Folsom
Two years ago when the water level of Lake Folsom was at its lowest point in 50 years, my brothers and I went out with GPS and a camera and documented over 400 spots. A few months later the lake levels went up and I was able to catch fish off the spots we had [...]
Closing the gap
I am always trying to improve my skills and if you are not getting better then you are being left behind. I went back to the Delta yesterday and fished one of my tournament spots again. This time I tried a few different things and ended up catching 2 3lbers and a 4lber. I feel [...]
One Won tournament done
So, we finally had the tournament and the bad conditions kept up. In my first spot we ended up missing four fish. This was a very tough start because that was more bites than I had in all my pre-fishing days combined. It was a long day but I ended up catching one so didn’t [...]
Wow, is all I can say. I just spent the last 5 days practicing for my tournament on the Delta. I showed up in high spirits ready to make some big things happen in my first Pro tournament of the year. We immediately ran into some tough conditions. First, we hit intense fog which made [...]
Heading to Delta for Won Bass Pro/Am
Feb 5-6 I will be fishing my first professional tournament. This is a big deal because it is the first time that I have had both the time to pre-fish for the tournament and money to enter so I can see where I stack up against some of the bigger names in the sport.
Handy Man I am!
Over the past year I have had some people (Victoria) questioning my abilities at fixing anything. I was even asked if I had ever changed a tire before, and informed that calling AAA doesn’t count!! Wow, I have taken that as a direct shot at my “man card” and for that I have been going [...]
Ya Park Dizzle!
Chico State represented well at Shasta with a 4th place finish for the first tournament of the year. Congrats to Parker and Marshal for winning $3,000!
Bringing up the Rear
First tournament of the year. Big hopes and dreams combined with a great 3 days of prefishing equals 126th place out of 140! Damn! Not the greatest start to the 2010 season but you have to start somewhere and hopefully it will make a good story once I do better later in the year. Duane, [...]
Aww the Delta Trip, Good Memories
Another successful Delta trip this year. Nick, Cassidy, myself, and Todd all caught fish. Dave was the only one that didn’t have any luck so he had to take the picture. Sorry Dave, not everyone had what it takes to be a cool bass fisherman!
