This is my 4th year on the Ranger Boats pro staff and I am honored to be a part of the Ranger family. The Ranger Boats 5 Star Advantage: quality, performance, innovation, safety and re-sale are just a small part of what sets Ranger apart from the competition. I cannot thank everyone at Ranger enough for their support and for putting me in the finest boat on the water.

I have run a Yamaha on my last 5 boats and have been 100% satisfied with every one of them. The performance and reliability of a Yamaha Outboard is second to none. This year, I will be running the new SHO 250 4 Stroke on my Z-520. This is truly an amazing piece of equipment that will set new standards in outboard motors. Thank you Yamaha. You already had the best motor with the HPDI and now you have made one even better!

Thank you Lee, Mary, Jared, Tom and Kenneth. I have enjoyed our time together over the years. Not only do you treat me like family, you treat all of your customers that way. That’s why the Fish-n-Fun family will continue to grow. You are the best. Team Fish-n-Fun rules!

I am excited to be on the Big Bite Baits pro staff. The new fighting frog is an unbelievable bait and I am just realizing it's potential. They have a complete line of plastics with an amazing color selection. Thanks Big Bite!

I bought my first Falcon Rod about 15 years ago at the Minnow Bucket Marina at Lake Fork. It was a 7’ 6” flipping stick and I had it in my hand a few years later when I won my first tournament. I used that same rod this past year at my Santee and Guntersville Open wins. Thank you Falcon — you build the best rods out there and you build them here in the USA.

Last year was the first boat I have had with a Power-Pole on it. It really changed the way I fish and don't think I could ever compete again without one. I can only think of a few events where I didn't use it to put an extra fish or two in the boat. I am really looking forward to this year because I will have two on my new boat. Thanks Power-Pole!

This is my first year with Sunline and am really pleased with its performance so far. I am constantly looking for products that give me an advantage over the competition and Sunline is the best.

I have won a lot of money on the Bronzeye Frog over the last few years. It simply catches the big ones!

Whether I am throwing a crankbait, flipping one of my homemade jigs, casting a worm, or throwing a frog, there is one thing in common - there is a Gamakatsu hook on the end of my line. These are the sharpest and strongest hooks you can buy.

I have tried them all. On tournament day, the rat-l-trap is putting fish in my live well. Thank you for the best lipless crankbait ever made.

As a former business owner, I am very aware of the dedication that it takes to run a successful business and the importance of marketing and promotion. At this point in my fishing career, I have committed my time and the necessary resources to compete at the highest level of professional bass fishing. With the encouragement and support of my family, friends and sponsors, I have proven I have what it takes to succeed against the best. I feel that my positive attitude, onstage professionalism and knowledge of the business world will make me a good representative of your company.

I would like to thank all of my sponsors for their support with a special thanks to Ranger Boats, Yamaha Outboards and Chattanooga Fish-n-Fun
