Thanks Clint. At one point that bothered me, but in no way was any of my comments meant to be digs. I honestly forgot about it shortly after until now. I thought about it today and was wondering why you thought I was digging at you. I am glad we could clear this up. I actually took you as a joking guy.. like myself.. im a big smart ass... plain and simple..I just like to have FUN. I am probably one of the nicest guys you will meet.. or i like to think so anyway. I am 100% true to myself and honest. I have a downfall.. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I talked to Derrick a bit tonight. He told me some of the concerns you all have. I need you all to know I am not here to be a dick or come across that way. I am here to help and want to help. I am not about drama and I hope you all know that. I plan on fishing EVERY event I can. My thing is TIME ON THE WATER. As I told Derrick, there is no tournament that has precedence over the next. I fish what to me would be the best opportunity to both learn and to catch fish and have fun. I honestly am sorry that you all have this initial feeling and thought about me. I want to not only squash those thoughts but show you my true character and let you all know my integrity is 100% in good intentions. I have a belief that Integrity and Character are all that someone has. It is something no one can take from you nor alter in anyway.
I have already messaged James and talked to him about next week. I am on spring break and if anyone wants to get to know me better please don't hesitate on messaging me and lets get together and fish.
Again, please know my intentions are 100% HONEST and upfront for my participation and membership in this club. I also want everyone to know that the "sponsorships" i have ... mean nothing as an angler. I have them because I can both sell myself and their products and because I believe in the products I fish. I am a very passionate person and angler. With that said.. you can ask Derrick, this bothered me today to an extent. Like I said.. I wear my heart on my sleeve.
So again thank you all for the opportunity and I look forward to many more events of fishing with you all. I also told Derrick to have me fish another event as a guest for evaluation purposes. I actually told him to pair me up with you Clint
... Hopefully you don't make me swim back to the dock lol ..... anyway anyone ever wanna fish or just wanna chat.. give me a ring 315-323-2519
