I’ve been very busy and haven’t kept up with this very well.  I wanted to let you know that my latest episode of “Bradley Roy’s Reel Life” is out there.  The title is “Rookie No More”.  There is video of me lifting the R.O.Y. trophy.  Wow! Click here  A Rookie No More  then click on Top Videos tab, then “A Rookie No More”.

Going into the last day of competition I was in 17th place at Santee Cooper. Witha few quick calculations the night before I knew I needed to stay where I was in the tournament to move into the top 7 in points and achieve my dream of recieving an invitation into the Bassmaster Elite Series. As they started to call boat numbers out on Day 3 many different emotions were flowing through me. I was one day of fishing away from achieving a dream of mine and the fear of the unknown was almost overwhelming. I made a choice to go to a different area in the morning and immediately it paid off. Within three hours I had a limit and had culled once. After moving to a different area and culling my last small fish with a three pounder a feeling of relief came over me. Running back to the takeoff site to make check-in time I couldn’t even explain the feelings that started to come over me. I weighed in my limit and finished the tournament in 10thplace. With a top ten finish I jumped all the way up to 5th place in the points which sealed my ticket to the Bassmaster Elite Series. I am so thankful that God has allowed me to achieve my dreams in this great sport. I also would like to thank all my family and friends for their continued support.
