The Rock

8th Place: Dave Wolak (19-5) “I guess that it worked out as planned today.  I felt like I had a couple good areas, and I got a 6-pound bite which really helped.  I also caught one 4-pounder off of a bed that I just happened to come across.  I didn’t really intend on bed fishing, but the fish bit quickly so I didn’t waste a lot of time. “I caught some keeper spots, smallmouth, and largemouth today, but I weighed-in all largemouth. What scares me is that the water is getting pulled down and the fish want to come to the bank at the same time.   What the fish are doing is suspending...

FLW TOUR MAJOR PREVEIW: TABLE ROCK LAKE

Branson, MO - After Brent Ehrler hoisted the trophy at the first Major of the 2012 season earlier this March on Lake Hartwell, the second stop of the FLW Tour Majors season kicks off this week on Missouri’s Table Rock Lake. While Table Rock was on the initial FLW Tour schedule in 2011, the tournament never materialized, as torrential rainfall resulted in a sudden 20-foot rise in water levels and forced tournament officials to cancel the tournament. In 2010, Table Rock served as the Tour opener after high water and unsafe conditions forced the cancellation of the first scheduled Tour stop...

Cadillac Tackle | Sunline

A good fishing line is about more than just brute strength.  It’s the whole package… the texture, the visibility, the handling, the resilience, the roundness, the lifespan, etc…  If your line does not excel in these categories, it’s not a “Cadillac” product. Sunline was the natural choice to highlight in this series because they are known for quality. I never realized how fanatical Sunline was about quality until I began talking to FLW pro Dave Wolak and veteran tackle rep Mike Valster.  Sunline is downright obsessed with perfection. You gotta admit... that's one sick spool...

Caring and Sharing About the Status Quo of a Flat Earth, Yet Snowmobiles Still Jump While Going Backwards in a Good Way

One thing that I remember from the nuns that taught me in elementary school was that if you had to write about something regarding an internal message, try not to make it too much about "caring and sharing". Although it is uplifting in your own mind sometimes and one would think that nuns would love this, and the intentions of the writer may have a sense of humility and goodness, it still may come across as too much vomit inducing sharing and caring. Walking away feeling like the cheesiness king feels way different then saying, "Hmmm, there is a point there". To further clarify the caring and sharing...

Chick-Fil-A Day Heyday, Closed on Wed-Nes-Day

The FLW Tour has a little different official practice schedule than BASS Elite or PAA events, and as you may know or are now learning, I am fishing the FLW Tour starting this March.  For FLW Tour events, practice begins on Sunday(even though Chic-Fil-A is closed) and ends on Tuesday.  Wednesday, the day before the event, the entire field has off. This is quite possibly the thing I am most excited for. It sounds trivial I'm sure, but take into consideration that I used to have to rush and practice until the last minute on Wednesday, rush to the meeting, rush back trying to stuff a large roast...

Seeking a Liberating Experience?

Cousin Eddy from Christmas Vacation said that the membership to the "Jelly of the Month Club" was the gift that keeps on giving all year long. I emphatically agree with that, but I think I may have a different spin on it! Here's my thoughts:  I have been very fortunate to work and compete outdoors for several years now.  I have been able to see some of the greatest places this country has to offer in my travels.   Many times is isn't even the body of water that I am most impressed with, it's the ride there! Either way, the outdoors and what it offers for me is the greatest way to have a liberating...

“Cadillac Tackle” | The Case for Jackall

You’ve got to love the Japanese.  Not only for their discipline, ingenuity, technical nature, and dependable cars, but for other things too.  I mean, what other country could withstand round after round of crippling pre-Pearl Harbor economic sanctions from the U.S., getting blown up to smithereens by a couple of our A-bombs, only to bounce back within a few short years fascinated with cowboy hats, idolizing Elvis Presley, and producing some of the best bass fishing lures the industry has ever known! Jackall is evidence of Japan’s legendary craftsmanship for which they have become known....

Road Radio

Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" is a classic, but even that gets a little old when you are festering in a truck for up to 15 hours at a time. I am an XM/Sirius subscriber and enjoy the diverse spread of talk radio shows and multiple music venues. Here's the problem: I'm either getting older and softer, or a little wiser and more aware of current events. I think it's a combination of both, along with an appreciation for some corny synthesized music.  My fist pumps of the past when rockin' to old school Metallica have seen the same deliverance lately when Glenn Beck slams some liberal on the radio,...
