Bob, you asked for my thoughts about sponsoring Bruce on the tournament trail, so here goes even tho I�ll get into trouble.
..

I�ve always heard that the only way to ever really get to know a man is to spend a day on the water with him, and I have had that experience fishing with Bruce.
Sign me at the top of the list as his sponsor.
Now the rest of the story�..don�t be too harsh with me...

I personally have a strong dislike for tournament fishing, and in many cases tournament fishermen.
I have been cussed at, blasted off the water by 75 mph bass boats, and run off my favorite fishing spot by a camera crew, which incidentally produced the winning stringer for a Classic Bassmasters Tournament.
I realize that tournament fishing has resulted in light speed developments of high tech fishing equipment, but I cringe every time I see �fishermen� making money from public waters, racing up and down lakes, dressed in Nascar outfits.
Please forgive me � I throw myself on the mercy of the court...
