Thanks to his wife, Jaclyn, and his doctors, the Bassmaster Classic champ is back to about 90%.

It’s been a crazy three days. It’s like I can’t tell anybody and everybody enough. I’ve already been to my son’s grade school class and talked to them. That was a big deal...

Getting off to a good start is important every year, but never more so than in 2020. The way the schedule breaks down will make it difficult to make up ground later in the...
