I Could Be Writing For A Fishing Mag

[pbrussell]

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.

[reb67]

That's great, beats what I do. Wish you the best of luck

[Djman72]

Fishing is helping you pay the bills?

 

I'm sure i speak for many when I say you are a lucky man/woman.

Get some real info from the guy, not just the sponsor line. Good luck, you have a chance to make your mark. This may be a career move.

[Boomer_bassin]

Awesome congrats!

[gr8outdoorz]

[Basseditor]

Good luck.

That's tremendous. Best of luck. Try not to forget us when your rubbing elbows with KVD and IKE.

[pbrussell]

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. 

[buzzed bait]

very cool!  i look forward to reading the article!

I think you will find 99 out of a 100 pro bass fisherman are great guys and gals.

 

Of course, there is always one in the crowd that acts like a jack*$$.

 

Looking forward to your articles and some pics.

[pbrussell]

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.

Don't let him see you in your bikini

[Bassfishing375]

That is so awesome congrats

[Hooligan]

That's cool.  Being published is something to be proud of.  Continuing to be published is really, really cool.

[Smokinal]

I'm happy and envious at the same time. I wrote a short series of children's books about a father taking his boys bass fishing. I sent manuscripts to some publishers but never got accepted. I have lost the air in my balloon but am happy for you.

[jeremyryanwebb]

Thats so awesome! I write fishing reports for the Outfitters center i work at and do seminars but would love to write actual fishing instruction articles.  Good for you man! Im jealous.

[pbrussell]

That's cool.  Being published is something to be proud of.  Continuing to be published is really, really cool.

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.
