Bassmaster Legends side trip

I had the privilege of accompanying some Elite Series anglers to the Arkansas Children's Hospital today. What a great experience to see these guys spend a few hours making some kids smile. The Angel Anglers rock.


Alton Jones pulled little two year old Christopher around in his wagon.


Skeet had Miss Whitney charmed.


Chris Lane was the piano man.

I wrote a story about the visit for ESPNoutdoors.com. These guys are my heroes.

Peter T and Nick

I love it when men aren't afraid to hug another man in celebration. Peter T gave his son Nick a bear hug on stage. And if you've ever seen Pete you know that he gives new meaning to the idea of a bear hug.

I'm pretty sure Nick is used to them.

Bassmaster Memorial

I forgot that Peter T won the Bassmaster Memorial last year in Ft Worth. And today ensured that he would be the only angler to ever hold the Memorial trophy over his head.

By ONE ounce.

Peter T says his day was fair

He knows he's close to the winner's circle but Peter T described his day today as only "fair." He says it definitely wasn't as good s yesterday but he doesn't know why. He caught them on a Zoom Super Fluke both days on the outside edges of grass lines 6 - 10 feet of water. He thinks he has 18 lbs. I'm headed over to the stage to see if that's enough to win.
