“In 1997 I was bitten by a raccoon and diagnosed with stage 4 rabies. I was down on my luck and time was not on my side. Then I rented a VHS workout video featuring a young Pat Renwick and the legendary Richard Simmons. Instantly, I was captivated. My aches and pains from the raccoon bite went away. The sun came out. The clouds went away. Within 3 months I won my first bass tournament defeating Roland Martin and local proper bassin man Papa Pinte by 6 ounces. With the $135 I won that day I bought an escort and a bottle of Walgreens best bubbly. 22 years later I still have rabies, but that escort is now my wife. Thank you Pat Renwick and Richard Simmons for all you have done for me.

After the Carl Jocumsen podcast my wife fell in love with Australian accents and left me for another Australian Bass Fisherman. Now her and our cats are living in a truck camper near the boat launch at Lake Tenkiller. All I have left is quality fishing accessories from TH Marine and memories.

With the recent “Legends Month” shows featuring Jimmy Houston and Denny Brauer my spirits are lifted like a young Phoenix rising in the west. I am rejuvenated and have a laser like focus on my goals. I have sent Facebook messages to several former bass pros that are now in their silver years and challenged them to outfish me this spring. Most of them have blocked me, but Roland Martin has invited me down to make low quality YouTube videos and Mike Long has asked me to be his net man when snagging season starts up next spring!”
