In recent light of all the stuff happening in the Elite Series i.e. speculation of top pros getting help, financial problems, and pro's quiting, I want to remind everyone that dreams still come true. Especially for the younger guys (such as myself), this stuff can really get you down if you have aspects of fishing tournaments for a living. Hard work, high goals, and dreams are what, I believe, it takes to make it. I would hate to think that some of the guys on here stop dreaming because of the stuff that is happening. I am going for my dreams, it will be a long, hard road, and may have no end but ill work as hard, if not harder that the next person!!!

Thats the right attitude to have, i hope it all works out as you plan.

chase financial stability and sponsor yourself...

Good Luck Ronnie, You are on the right trail and you already know it isn't going to be easy. If only you had a new boat... OH wait.. Your almost there.

Go for it! If you look back you may fall in a hole in front of you.

Good Luck Ronnie. I hope you do well.

You forgot to add ronnie....As long as there are no dogs, catfish, snakes, area 21 bugs, bridges to get you there, girraffes, hippos,and you can have gloves so your hands are not dirty....LOL!!! Had to do it buddy!

You can do whatever you want to and believe in with a lot of hard work. I am following my dream and will be fishing the boater side of the Women's Tour for the first time in 2010. I have fished the non-boater side and dreamed of being on the boater side so i'm gonna do it, I'm following my dream and you can too. Never give up on your dreams!

Thanks guys for all the support, I hope that guys like me understand what I am saying. Its possible to do this, and I hope no one gets discouraged by recent events.

I look forward to turning on the tv one Sunday morning to watch the Bassmasters of FLW Outdoors. And there's Ronnie, standing on the back deck of his boat trying to hang onto the cameraman screaming, "it's a GIANT! It's a GIANT!" (in his best Ike impersonation). Then the camera pans to the front deck and a little bug is sitting there, smiling at the camera.. LOL

THATS HILARIOUS!!!!!!
