Just ran into Brandon Palanuik at the BPS in Lawrenceville, GA. He had already spoke for the classic (missed that) but was wandering around checking out the electronics. A brief intro and conversation took place leaving me feeling that he's a super nice guy. I had never been for nor against the guy, but after today I think I may be on the for side. He was nice, easy to talk to and seemed really down to earth. Just another reminder they're human like the rest of us....

Palaniuk is one of my favorite anglers on tour, really nice guy.

I just me Chris Lane and Randy Howell and the Nashville bass pro.

i live not to far from chapman and scanlon and they also go to local tackle shops so i run into them quite a bit also brandon was at a local rogers sporting goods store in missouri during the last elite at table rock i would say chapman and brandon are my two favorite ones i met. chapman is so cool he took me back let me see his boat and all his stuff where he keeps his boat and its like man what guy takes that kind of time for his fans. he just won aoy and is so busy but makes that kind of time for a fan.
