[cool][#0000ff]Good report and great pictures.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I admire your passion and applaud your goals to become widely recognized...and sponsored. The truth is that it takes a lot of continued dedication, much involvment and a lot of luck. The truth is that sponsors only pick somebody up if that person IS well known and popular. They want their investment in sponsorship to pay off by having their name associated with a winner.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Not sure what area of fishing you want to be known for. If it is pro bass fishing you will have a lot of competition and a lot of hard work ahead of you. There are a bunch of great young anglers that are also working hard to get to where you want to be. They spend a lot of time and money to be able to fish the tournaments and to learn from the top pros so they can compete on the same level. Most of them never make it, but some do. The money and prizes are getting bigger every year but the costs of getting there can be great. I hope you have the backing of your family and a means of generating living expenses during the process.[/#0000ff]
