    Bending Branches…a customer review.

    First, I am not a writer so I find it hard to say that I have writers block.   But I am trying to write an article for Rogue Fishing Company (coming soon) and am finding that the right words are as elusive as bass for a lot of the field on Chickamauga la couple of weeks ago.  So instead… Read more

  • my KBF NC recap…and perspective

    2:10…day two of the NC, also the final day of the KBF Trail Championship.  I am sitting at just under 80 inches, acutely aware that one decent upgrade will get me into the KBF Ten.  I toss a Baby Bass Yamamoto Senko under a dock that I had pulled a bass from the day before; using a Zoom Bubble Gum… Read more

    Self-awareness is something I work hard to achieve.  It is not easy.  Even when my wife asked me last night if my choice was knowledge or Ego…I told her it was knowledge.  I had caught over 90 inches in an hour and a half during pre-fishing.  I just knew the fish would be there –… Read more
