I'm with you Tommy!!! I honestly tried to stay above the drama, but I've always stood up for what is right! I won't let one person or a small group of people change that. I didn't start my business for money, recognition, praise, etc...

I started this little venture as a way to honor my late son, my late brother, and my late dad. Fishing and family is what it's all about for me. My son lives on in every jig I tie. He gets to live on and go all over the country and fish lakes I'll never fish (I know it's corny, but that's how I feel). Bringing smiles to customer's faces and especially children's faces when they catch a fish on something I made is why I do what I do. Promoting the sport, being a good ambassador, and just being a good person is what drives me.

There is plenty of room for like minded people to collaborate instead of viewing this as competition. The ONLY person I compete with is myself. I love my fishing brothers and sisters and I truly consider MOST to be family.

I stand with you Tommy, our Texas bait makers, and all the great people involved in chasing the THUMP. See y'all at the Expo.

Those are sharp!!! Riding with Squeaky highway patrol might be on your tail’. Go bandit go!!!

You aren't the first to tell me this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'll bump up my prayer game 😇😇😇

Well said Chris, just perfect.

How do you get one of these?

Those hoodies were made specifically for a few of us that had a part in sponsoring Ted Hayes who is fishing the Mr. Crappie Classic next weekend. They weren't really intended to be sold to the public, but we just might see about doing something similar in the future.

I’ll be up there wandering around Friday checking out the new stuff... and spending money!

Nice!

Good luck fellas

just saw this post,downtown Branson has this place called Branson Cafe,best homemade desserts all around. Wish i was there to show you around... good luck Teaxas Teams!

Bunch of folks eating a big mess of crappie. Wally Marshall sure knows how to put on a good get together. What a nice guy...was working the room talking to folks and posing for pictures every time we saw him.

Awesome.....Thanks for sharing the pics.....

I might have some pics I can post later! It rained 5 of the 7 days I fished so I never took any pictures! Gonna pack up here and head to breakfast and the Expo in a bit! Super blessed to have been invited to this thing both years it's been held and have never seen the Expo because we were still fishing every day!

Texas did mighty well! So proud of Jerry and Paul! Paul is the best crappie angler in the state of Texas IMO! That man was Livescope before Livescope!

Finally getting around to posting some pics! Already excited about next year!!
