I’m sorry that it has been a few days since I’ve posted but I have been really busy over the last few days. Saturday I attended that promotional event at Bass Tackle Depot that I told you about.  It was great. I got to be around some of my heros that I have always looked up to.  It’s still hard to believe that in just a few days I will be competing against them.  When I’m sitting in my boat at night putting line on my poles and I look over next to me and there sits Gerald Swindle or Peter T or any of the others sitting in their boat doing the same thing-I can’t believe I’m really here.  But it will be very real before long.  Today is the first day of official practice before the tournament. I am so ready to be on the water I can’t stand it!!
