I'm a big fan of the Reese family. The picture above was taken at the '06 Classic when Skeet and Kim were expecting baby Courtney. She's toddling around right now in northern California and probably has no idea that her Daddy is in contention to win Angler of the Year.
With almost a two week break between the Bassmaster Legends event and next week's final Bassmaster Elite Series event at lake Toho, I wondered what Skeet had been doing to occupy his time. So I gave him a jingle.
"I've been in the gym and in the office taking care of a little business," he said. "But mostly I've been spending time with my girls."
Skeet's quite the ladies man.....his three ladies of course.
He flies out tomorrow for Florida and he's chomping at the bit to get down there and get started.
If the statisticians are correct, Skeet has to finish 35th or higher to feel safe about winning Angler of the Year. I have no idea how these guys figure this out with the point system the way it is, but they are usually right. He told me that he was anticipating a roller coaster of emotions.
"If I win I'll probably cry like a baby and scream like a mad man."
But he's spent his off time relaxing and I think he's mentally ready. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard him so resolved.
