Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve caught everyone up here.

Last year was a pretty interesting year for me writing. I had anywhere from 1-3 articles roll out in bass quest every issue, and had a four month long “column” run on world fishing network for various fishing tips.

This year is already shaping up to be quite crazy. Bass quest is bumping up their issues from 4 to 6 a year, and rolling out a couple of exclusive online only issues as well. I’m guaranteed an article for each, but it will most likely be two. I’ve also got a contract with world fishing network to submit a weekly short article on bass fishing. This should be ongoing from march through December.

Lastly, I was credentialed media at the bassmaster classic. I ended up getting to ride with Keith combs on day one. Before you ask "how was it!? What'd you learn", I'll have a piece rolling out shortly on world fishing network about it. Did the media thing on Thursday. Worked the expo Saturday and Sunday and caught the weigh in’s. I met tons of great people, made plenty of connections, shook hands with pro’s I worked with, and even learned a few things about slippin’ from our very own Big O.

It’s been a wild ride. Wilder still is the fact that I’m making money doing all of this. The dream is real folks. I’m not fishing for a living, but I’ve got it pretty good. Maybe this thing can become a full time deal after all.

Get after your dreams. You might be surprised what happens.

Inspiring story! Glad you shared. Best of luck in the future!
