About 25 years ago I was a weekend bass tournament angler that caught a good sponsorship deal from a local boat dealership. The dealership gave me a new 19' Champion with 150 Evinrude and covered all my cost. Seemed like a dream come true and the first couple years were a heck of a lot of fun. I made a little money and had a great time. The third year I was miserable. That third year I figured out exactly where fishing fit into my life. Fishing was costing me valuable time away from family and career. I figured out fishing was not going to be a career for me. I gave my sponsorship up and was a happy weekend warrior after that.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
