One of the perks of getting to travel around the United States to compete in bass tournaments is that we get to visit many different parts of the country. All of the travel and time away from home is not glamorous at times, but we always try to enjoy ourselves […]

Last month’s column opened up the subject of dealing with regrets, which soon proved to be a wider topic than could fit through one column’s door. Regrets are heavy. Feeling guilt, shame, stress, remorse and frustration at ourselves over mistakes we’ve made can really weigh us down. Regrets get especially […]
Every May, I start rooting for a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in three decades…or lamenting that, once again, it’s not going to happen. And while both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are still in the running, how I wish it were […]
The fourth stop of the Bassmaster Elite Series took place this past weekend in South Carolina at the Santee Cooper Lakes. In what was the second of back to back events, Santee Cooper fished tougher than expected. It was the third time in four years that we’ve visited this big […]

As an unashamed car fanatic, the winter can be a dark and dreary time. Race tracks fall silent, the blacktop turns into a white hellscape that can and will ruin every part of an automobile, and all of the most fun and interesting vehicles get tucked away safely for the […]
The Emo Walleye Classic takes place May 25/26 and 27 this year. As always this event takes a lot of dedication by many people. A new prize has been added to this year tournament – any team with a combined age of the two anglers coming un under 50 could […]
