What a great few days.   I got the news Thursday of the mercury sponsorship and have been waiting until I talked with Steve before I passed it on to everybody.   Bull shoals boat dock and Steve have been great to me.   Today I officially order my new basscat pantera ll today.  lt is a different color combo for me, but it looks sweet.  Will be ready by my February central pro-am.  Christmas has came early for me. .

The cat has sold, it went southwest to a NEW basscat family.  A shout out to Impactfishing WOW Phil lays out a pretty spread. Now on to order my new basscat everybody knows the colors I had.  Me and the girls have been toying around with another color combo. It's not new, but to me it is and of course we have tweaked it some what.  I got to make a trip over to the plant when this snow and ice gets off and talk the the man that's helped me along.   Basscat truely is family and I think you all know what I mean. Its amazing how many calls I got on this boat that were from people wanting to join "our family".   We truely are blessed to have "people" who care about us as a "family" not just as a statistic or a number on a chart.  A huge THANK YOU to Rick and all the family at basscat for all the help past and future.
Also I have to mention we have been having baby calves on the farm. I know its not the best time to have them, but after a bad last couple of years 10" if snow aint nothing.  We are feeding hay and having fun.
For those who hadn't heard the Central Proam Kick off at Lake of the Ozarks December 7/8th got postponed until the middle of January.
Thanks again to  Rick and all the Basscat employees also to Steve at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock.
