Steve Horvath

This is just my .02 and you know what they say about opinions, so here it goes. I might be nit picking, but I don't like to see the word I used too many times like I do this and I do that. By the career you have it's apparent you're an intelligent (might have just mispelled that one person so take a little more time to use sentence beginnings other than "I". Also, be more specific about what tournaments you're going to fish and detail the bodies of water where your finishes were. I think what you have is a good start, just needs a few details.

Great perspectives all

The question is which color is your favorite for bottom bouncing soft plastic lures?

What do you expect (ask from) a sponsor to do for a local or regional level angler? Free product? (how much) Product at dealer cost? Cash?

Jeff, one thing to think about a little bit. How are you going to help the sponsor "move product"? A patch on a shirt and a logo on a social media site are one thing. But, if you came out with an idea where a sponsor could measure what you're doing to "market" and "move product", that can work to your advantage.

I agree DWT, I'm very suprised that there are lots of members that are posting resumes and yet nobody has stepped forward to say they are capable of this or a sponsored angler should be able to do that. If I were a sponsor I would be looking for these attributes (in no particular order) Outgoing personality Willingness to do something for their sponsorship (commitment) Above average angler (notice the word GREAT does not appear here) Fish at least one FULL tournament circuit (it could be federation, BFL or even a local team trail as long as they aren't a complete cherry picker)

What are your top 4 favorite shapes in soft plastics? For me Finesse worm Tube Senko Creature (Brush Hog)

For those looking for a sponsor in fishing I have a question. What can you do for a sponsor? Can you move product? (How are you going to do it?) Are you going to sell their product? Do you have good relations with shops that will pick up a sponsors product? It would be great to hear individual comments from individual anglers on this subject.

I'm currently working on a project and looking for some feedback and here is the question: What is the hardest thing to learn or hardest concepts to grasp for bass anglers?

Bill you're right, I starred on three episodes of Americas Most Unwanted

I guess this is my official intro so here it goes. I'm Steve Horvath from Bristol PA. While I'm new to this board, I'm a second generation tournament angler and host of a local TV show. I'm also a licensed captain and work in producing outdoor videos. I'm hoping to meet new anglers and continue learning. I might also be interested in becoming a sponsor of the board.

Thanks everyone it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for sure. We actually spent several hours together over the next three days. The others with me said I had a "man crush" on him. The highlight was when he stopped by as the show was closing one night with a big bag of jerky and offered me some and spent time talking with all of us. Seemed like a pretty cool guy!

I was recently able to interview Gary Loomis and boy did I learn alot about rods. warning it's long. http://youtu.be/OvJDrzyluTE
