Where’d my momentum go?  I’ll tell you where it went.  Life has gotten in the way, and sucked away the momentum with it. School has been really rough this semester.  Every semester it gets harder and harder to focus on school, and not only that… but my classes become increasingly difficult the further I make it in college.  It’s a double-edged sword.  Fishing has unfortunately come up low on the totem pole of priorities.  Let’s get caught up on what’s happened since my last post:

The Unstoppable Rebel Force… that’s the name my friend, Will, and I came up with for ourselves back in high school.  Will and I pretty much thought we were God’s gift to women.  We felt like we could pretty much get any girl we wanted.  We were so enamored with ourselves and our “skills” that we even began writing a book.  Ya, we were pretty dumb.  Ha!  Looking back at it now, I realize we were just a couple of cocky kids who still had a lot to learn.  Occasionally though, I still have times in my life when I feel a little bit like an Unstoppable Rebel Force.   [Read more…]

Well I’m keeping the momentum rolling, and it’s picking up speed!  Before I get into the details about my win this past weekend at the Media Bass tournament on Lake Austin, let’s get caught up to speed on other tournaments I’ve fished since the last blog post and the momentum that’s been building.

The boat is coming home!!!  That’s great news, but at what cost?  It ain’t coming cheap; I’ll tell you that.  When is it ever though right?  It’s been more than a month now since the boat has been away.  After sitting at Austin Action Marine for about 3 weeks, I was told that it would be a $3500 fix.  OUCH!  Obviously that was not going to be a great option.  I decided to take it to someone else for another opinion.  I took it over to Chris Ray who runs Performance Outboards off of Hwy 71 as you’re headed out to Lake LBJ.   [Read more…]

Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks.  First of all.  I quit my job doing pest control.  It was just too much.  It was ok for a while and helped Susie and I to get on top of some things financially, but it just got to the point where I couldn’t handle the schedule anymore.  It was taking a toll on way too many areas of my life.  Most importantly, there was just something inside of me that said I needed to get out of there.   [Read more…]
