Two of the tournaments are going to be in Texas.  That's especially great news in the current economy, since the people at ESPN/BASS who are in charge of our tournament trail tell me that the majority of women ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=35 I need to update my website on my Sponsor's page, with links and all that, but I wanted to write a brief blog about all of the new sponsors that I have gotten at the end of the year.  I say at the end, but more between the third (June) ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=37 Loudest Lake in Tennessee I'll bet none of you thought I would lead with the simple fact that Old Hickory Lake is the loudest lake in Tennessee, in fact probably the loudest lake I could ever imagine fishing in!  I could do what everyone else does and say that Old Hickory ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=33 From the Beginning It is difficult to know where to start for this tour stop blog, so I guess I'll start at the beginning - where the venue changed.  Actually, that wasn't really the beginning.  Many of my fellow WBT Anglers had already been fishing our alternate site when it was ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=28 There's a ton to get caught up on that happened during the Ouachita River stop, so I'll jump right in and get everyone up to speed. Prefishing Week (The Week Before the Tournament) We got to West Monroe on Saturday, April 12, and immediately found out we had booked a hotel a ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=20 Well, I never thought it would happen - I actually never thought about it at all, but the bass have now officially gotten revenge for all of their brothers and sisters that I have hooked in the past.  In my defense, I want to point out that every bass that ... http://www.bassfancy.com/rblog/?p=17
