Had my interview with Keith Today. Even got to talk a little bit about how prefishing is going for the classic.

There are a couple of bass fishing games that are actually ok, but they are all dated. Mark Davis the fishing master for snes was a good one. I play an emulated version on my computer. Trophy Bass 4 by sierra is probably the most realistic fishing game around. The newer games, sadly, can't hold a candle to those two for some reason or another.

Now, If I could manage to somehow make a small fresh burger magically appear on my boat, I'd scarf that down while I was on the water. Guess boat companies need to start incorporating microwaves into the boat layout

Before hitting the water- a sausage biscuit, and an energy drink. On the water- Water/gatorade and a granola bar if I get desperate.

That's right. Though it's a honor to have an article published in the first place, I don't intend to stop there. I'm hoping this is just the beginning, and I intend for it (at least at this time) to be a life long pursuit. Thanks guys. The article hasn't been published yet (obviously), nor am I yet considered a staff writer, but I'll be chasing it down. The best thing you all can do is tell other fisherman about the magazine. It's a newer publication, and it's folks like you that make it possible for guys like me to chase down this dream. That, and the magazine is pretty cool too. I'm super pleased with the mission of the magazine- that mainly being to truly educate the reader on how to catch more fish, and not just skim over subjects but get down and dirty with em.

Well, just got off the phone with the editor, things feel a little more "set in stone." So, I'll leak a little bit of information. I'll be writing for bassquest magazine, and my first article will be with Keith Combs. I guess you'll have to pick up the issue to see what's inside.

Thanks everyone. I'll be sure to keep you all updated. I have a lot of research to do on the topic yet so that I won't be going into the interview blind. If anything, it's going to be a great opportunity to learn a lot more about these green, and brown fish. They're dudes, just like the rest of us. They're just a little better at fishing.

I don't want to jinx myself here, so I'll refrain from giving specific details but, I got in contact with an editor for a fishing magazine and they have given me an assignment to do an article with a pro. A few of you doofs know the specifics, but that's only because I'm a blabber mouth. When the article gets the thumbs up to go in the magazine, I'll tell you all which mag, pro, and topic. Looks like my english degree is finally going to get some use. Needless to say, I'm pretty dang excited.

Or I could just go down with you guys and catch 8's all day long.

An extra grande for around these parts is around 8 (state record is a high 11 if I remember correctly). I'm gonna catch one someday. And lose control of my bodily functions when it happens.

Looking for an extra grande huh?

I didn't say I don't have the money, I just said I wasn't buying a trout permit

You guys are gonna heckle me until I find myself on shawnee with a trout permit, aren't you.

Well, some bad news. Doesn't look like I'll be able to make the 20th, or the 19th... Gonna be out of town on easter weekend, and sorry boys, but I'm not buying a trout permit. I'm gonna pull really hard to try and make it down to grand. I don't want to imagine missing a two day bonanza with you goofs. By the way, If we're calling bunks, I'm sleeping next to Curt. In my one piece swimsuit from the picture he likes so much.

I tried not to chuckle. I failed.

Wahoo is one of my favorite fish to eat. Delicious

Lies. You're trying to get a jump start on your modeling career.

If I ever get one over 8, I'm not really sure what I'll do. Lose control of my bowels and bladder? Cry? Forget the english language and make cave man noises? Pass out? Gyrate my hips in a sexually explicit way? Call my dad? I'm not sure, but i'll let you guys know when it happens.

Are you a model?

Oh, Curt told me my punishment for having a 225 on the back of my boat was only being allowed to fish jerkbaits. Jerkbaits will be out of the equation for the grand tournament. And Just between you and me, if I make it to melvern, I might try throwing a spybait

I'm already confined to fishing a jerkbait, so it seems fair to me.

The rodney rattler

What's a scale?
