In professional fishing the goal every year is to make it to the year-end championship -the Forrest Wood Cup, or the Bassmasters Classic. These tournaments showcase the anglers who have risen to the top after a year of competition. My season will conclude in a couple of days on beautiful Lake Ouachita, Arkansas at the Forrest Wood Cup, where fifty some odd anglers will compete for half a million dollars. And for all these guys, there is really only one place to finish, and that’s first. It is going to be a great tournament and an even greater show! The fishing should be pretty tough – very hot temperatures and falling lake conditions, but the tougher the conditions, the more I like it. I love a challenge, and figuring out how to catch ‘em when it’s tough will be fun. After winning the last Tour event at the Potomac River, I’m looking forward to riding that momentum to another great week and hopefully another win. Wish me luck!
