2009 FLW TOUR CHAMPION

It is good to finish on top, even if only for a day.  When I look back in life's highs and lows the past week will rank up there with the highest of highs for me.  For a professional fisherman winning the FLW Tour Championship sits right up there with the the birth of my children.  OK, maybe it is not that great but hey, it sure is exciting.

The Blog has been deafly silent over the last week as I prepared and practiced for the championship.  I fished this championship with one goal, and that was to win.  For me, that meant putting aside all distractions and to keep my focus on the goal of winning.  As it turned out, my focus and preparation gave me a new found calm during the actual 4 day event that would end of bringing home the title.

I have lots of people to thank and there will be a lot more on that as well as on how I caught my fish each day.  There is a lot more to come but I did want to get a blog entry up to let everyone know I am back home and dealing with the media storm that comes with winning the championship.  Check back for all the details.
