Yesterday was a wonderful day for me and the rest of the anglers fishing the postseason. Each of us took a wounded veteran out on Lake Cameron for a fun-filled, bragging rights tournament called the Hope for the Warriors Tournament.
It's Friday. This weekend I'll be hosting the KVD Big Bass Classic on Table Rock Lake. It's a part of the Oakley Big Bass Tour. I'll be at the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield during the registration on Saturday, and then I'll be heading toward Kentucky Lake for the Tennessee Triumph.
Right now I'd like to talk about some of the things that happened during the tournament and then Tuesday, when things have settled down and I've had a chance to collect my thoughts and emotions, I'll talk about what this means to me.
Today was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. This has been a different Classic. First I thought one big day would do it, and then I thought the weights would go up as the tournament progressed

I said yesterday that I thought this Classic would be different because you wouldn't need fish for three days. Honestly, when I wrote that I believed one good day would be enough this year. After today, you can throw that idea out the window.

Today was Media Day. I spent the first part of it with all sorts of writers and photographers. I always enjoy that. I have to admit, however, that I'm chomping at the bit to get going. I can't wait to get the 2010 Bassmaster Classic underway.
Today was the last practice day before competition starts on Friday. I had a pretty good practice, all things considered. At least I accomplished some of the things I wanted to get done. That's not to say it's getting much better out there, though. It's still really tough.
My professional performance is important to me. I want to do my best every time I launch my boat. It's not always about where I finish in a tournament, although that does matter. It's knowing that I did the best I possibly could and that I didn't leave anything out on the water.
