My first BASS OPEN tournament was in Kennewick Washington.Fish was MC at this tournament. I had a great day and got to fish with Gary Dobbins all day. I ended up getting big AM. fish that day. I was alittle nerves going to the way-in. So when I got called up Randy M. took the bag and then Fish just started talkin like he always does. He put me at such ease. Then when he saw that big smallmouth, well you can imagine how he reacted. After the way-in I was soooooo jazed I could'nt leave the park. I just wandered around for awhile then I came across Fish at the trailer. We just stood around and talk about all kinds of things. What a day, First Dobbins then Fish. That is a memory of a life time for me. By the way I was 7th after day 1 and ended up 44. Thats what Fish meant to me. Jim

That is so COOL that you took the time to write me. Thank you. I will start looking into things. GB.....Jim

Thinking of starting a NEW club out here in Cent.Wast.St. It would be a Christian based as well as the ethecis we would follow.I beleive that bass fishing is more than just catching fish for me it is a way of life on and off the water.So what I would like to know is if anyone has any tips for me on this venture? I know there will be many things I will probibly forget to do. I also want this club to be a great place people can learn to fish as well as be competitive in tournaments we would have. All of this is still in the begening stages but I would like this to happen. I got this idea from Mr.Yelas. The way he leads his life as a example and how he uses his testamony to help others should be aplauded. Any ideas would be a great help. Thank you for your time. God Bless and good fishing. Jim
