Casey Ashley "Fisherman" song lyrics
One of my favorite parts of the Bassmaster Classic this year was the debut of Casey Ashley's song "Fisherman." Casey gave an impromptu concert when Skeet won the Angler of the Year title last fall and all in attendance agreed.....this boy's go skills.
So Casey gets to know Rodney Clawson through Janet Bell who is director of Angler Relations at BASS and a mover and shaker in the industry. Rodney is an incredible songwriter, in fact he wrote "I Saw God Today" that George Strait (love him) is riding high in the charts with. (Rodney Clawson has a Myspace page that's worth a visit.)
You can download Casey Ashley's "Fisherman" at Outdoormusic.com. Nice to have on the Ipod for those early morning rides to the lake. Here are the lyrics.
Brother it’s a long road, from Amistad to Toho,
Doesn’t matter which way you go, the miles are all the same.
When you finally get there, and when you pul the cover off,
Then it’s time to get a little bit lost, out on the lake.
Gonna back this boat into the water,
Find a way to win a couple dollars,
The weather man says there’s a cold front coming down,
Bring it on, I’ve seen it all by now.
I can catch ‘em shallow, I can catch ‘em deep,
Open water or the back of a creek,
The wind, the rain, to me it’s all the same,
I make a living playing this game,
I thank the Lord above every time I can,
I get to be a fisherman.
Come Thursday morning, I’ll have me something figured out,
It’s not definite but just about, that I can make the cut,
I’m bettin’ on Sunday, that I’ll be fishing solo,
Just me and my cameraman Joe, And with a little bit of luck I’ll have just enough.
I can catch ‘em shallow, I can catch ‘em deep,
Open water or the back of a creek,
The wind, the rain, to me it’s all the same,
I make a living playing this game,
I thank the Lord above every time I can,
I get to be a fisherman.
GREAT SONG.
And speaking of songs and singing....I'll have to wait until later to tell you about the photo below(dang I gotta find more time for this blog!)
ps - the photo includes the melodious and multi-talented quartet of Gerald Swindle, Jason Williamson, Marty Robinson, and Casey Ashley and it is a grab from a video that I want to share.....these guys are gonna kill me!

Bassmaster Classic pre-production
A project that kept me and the Motion Graphics team at JM Associates busy in the first two months of the year was getting graphics pre-produced for the Classic. I have some more Classic video to share later (when I find time to put it together!) but here is one of the in-bumps I designed for the Classic broadcast. I think anone who has fished a tournament can relate....
More later......
More later......
Back to Bass fishing
It's been a while since I have been able to blog here. Lots of different things keeping me busy and not a lot happening in the bass fishing world during the off season. Then we started pre-production for the Bassmaster Classic and suddenly it got so busy there was no time to blog.
So I thought I'd post a few of the things I've been working on.
This is the opening title sequence for Skeet Reese's mini-show on ESPN Outdoors. The title of the series served as the inspirational jumping off point for the creative. I used a predominately yellow palette because that's Skeet's color. Of course, the subject matter produced a lot of great shots to work with! I hoped to convey the passion for the sport.
