    Totally Humbled.

    The National Professional Anglers Association email came out today with the nominee’s for two board of directors openings. My name was on the list.

    Yeah, I thought it was a joke when I first heard of it too.

    A catfish guy’s name next to stand up professional tourney folks like

    Jimmy Bell
    Robert Blosser
    Stephen Picht

    All I can say is being nominated out of over 600 members is one hell of an honor.

    Thank You!

    Congrats Brian. How do they decide who gets the positions from the nominees? Is there anything we can do to help you seal the deal?
