Five more days until I fly out to Vancouver Island for my first bass fishing tournament of the year.  I've got thousands of dollars in tackle sprawled out across my basement trying to decide what exactly I should be bringing!!  Re-spooling my reels checking my tackle to make sure it's all in working order...Such excitement!!  I found out that a friend of mine is flying out with us to compete against me in the tournament!! As if I don't have a hard enough time competing against him here..He's gotta follow me to the coast as well!!  haha...It'll be good times..Fish will be caught, beers will be drank, and new friends will be made!

On a different note, some things came up over the last week of which I am not very proud of.  Unfortunately I think they're irreversible.  I take pride in almost everything I do, but for this, I can wholely admit that I made a mistake.  One that i'd like to take back, but fear never will be able to.  If at worst, the only thing I walk away with, is the knowledge of what i've done wrong, and how not to make the same mistake twice then so be it. 

 

I'm not sure where I heard/read this, but it hits home...."Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow"

Well i'm thankful that the boat show is now over....I worked it from open to close in the past 4 days...But it was a great experience for me.  There were people I haven't seen since last year during tournament season, and people that I met for the first time who will be beneficial in my growth in the sport of tournament bass fishing!  We also picked up some new sponsors for the club...This years show proved to be a HUGE success for us.  Now that it's over, I can relax for a little while before having to gear up for our Bud, Spud, & Steak night at the end of this month!  After that's finished I begin my 2006 tournament journey on Vancouver Island At the second annual BC Bass Open!  Great times will be had i'm sure.  So if anyone's interested in a beer, steak, and potato, and are gonna be in Winnipeg on March 31, feel free to leave me a message and i'll give you some tickets!

I just have to say that this past weekend has been fun, relaxing, amazing, sexy, funny, most awesomest(Great word huh?) weekend i've had in a long ass time.  I even bought this awesome girl Cookie Dough Ice Cream.  I can't believe I gave away my secret ice cream so soon after I met her  Ahh well it was totally worth it.  And yes, for the record, I am going to do it again...That you can take to the bank.
