It's a "New Year"!!! Will it be a "Happy" one?

So far this off season has been crazy to say the least. A few new doors have opened and some old ones have closed. I have made every attempt to take full advantage of each and every opportunity even though I have been somewhat distracted with a few unexpected surprises. None the less the show must go on and like the old Alabama song says "you can't keep a good man down"!

I feel extremely fortunate and blessed knowing that going into this next season I have a little extra help from some new sponsors such as Legend Boats, Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Mercury Outboards. After the issues I had last season I can at least go into the 2011 not having to worry about a lack of warranty or being handicapped by outdated or antique equipment. I now have without a doubt some of the best equipment money can buy. I mean, anything can happen but with that piece of mind and a little momentum and confidence from Lake Texoma I have never felt more prepared for the adventure ahead of me in 2011.

"THE CLASSIC"... That's what 2011 will be all about. Not only Is it the "Super Bowl" of the Bass world but how sick would it be to qualify for it in my back yard? I mean dude, I can be on the Red River in less than 15 minutes! That's like the Cowboys making it to the Super Bowl in Cowboy Stadium, which as proven this year is apparently impossible. Maybe that wasn't a good choice of comparison.

Who knows what 2011 has in store. The only thing I do know for sure is that it's a new year and I'm extremely blessed to be in a much better position with much better equipment than I had a year ago today. I think it's safe to say I probably won't change my style. More than likely I will live and die by my "go big or go home" or "swing for the fence" mentality as it seems that it's worked to this point! Stay tuned!!!!

I'm ready. February 24th can't get here soon enough!
