The Toyota Texas Bass Classic began this morning on Lake Conroe, 40 minutes north of Houston. In its short six-year history, it has quickly become considered one of the greatest events in all of professional bass fishing by top pros like Kelly Jordon, Gerald Swindle, and Terry Scroggins.
As most of you know, professional angling involves much more than just fishing. In most cases, it includes considerable time on the road.
Bass anglers everywhere can now officially be jealous of Matt Landry of Houston, Texas. Landry won B.A.S.S.’s “Fish With KVD” sweepstakes.
Matt Landry of Houston, Texas, was the big winner in the recently concluded Fish With KVD sweepstakes at Bassmaster.com.
The first-ever Carp Tournament on Lake Conroe proved to be a huge success.
Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. announced a sponsorship of Bassmaster Elite Series anglers Bradley Roy and Cliff Crochet to promote Biobor EB, the Ethanol Buster.
All in all, it will be an exciting week, and I'm really looking forward to it. On another note, Kristen, my middle child and oldest daughter, turns 16 in a few weeks.
I get to do something really cool on Monday. I'm going to be addressing a group of Cub Scouts. I love getting to engage children in small groups like this, especially boys who love the outdoors.
Before we get into the Elite season stuff, I have one final comment on the Classic. I mentioned in the last blog that I was disappointed in my poor execution, but at the same time, a poor tournament has given me a sense of God's presence in my life.
