"I'm excited about my Bass Sessions™ web site and my affiliation with the Pro Bass Networks folks on the World Wide Web. No writer has covered the national bass tournament scene as long and consistently as I have. And I still love the whole scene. Through the pages of BASSMASTER Magazine and B.A.S.S. Times (as well as my books), I've been able to share with you the secrets of the pros since 1981, and I maintain the same passion for the sport that I had as a young man.
"My Bass Sessions ™ is a logical extension of my nearly 20-year quest to keep fishing fans everywhere on top of the latest techniques, tactics, and tournament scene happenings. With my web site, I can give you the unvarnished truth about people, places, fisheries, products, etc. Unlike the pros, I have no sponsors; so I don't have to hold anything back with my opinions.
"Speaking of opinions, the information found in Bass Sessions™ is exactly that - my opinion. It in no way reflects the opinions or views of B.A.S.S., Inc., its employees or publications.
"I hope you will enjoy the ride. Feel free to email me with your comments, suggestions, ideas and questions."
