At times, the fishing part of it becomes very secondary. Any time we are not fishing a tournament, we are a representative of Tracker Marine. We are out there teaching people how to fish and promoting the product. The business part of it is a big part of our job. A lot of young guys ask me, 'I want to be a bass pro; how do I get there?' I tell them to hone their business skills and public speaking. The sponsors want someone who can help them sell product. |
I certainly feel that it is either the most elite team, or at least one of the most elite teams, in bass fishing. |
We all have great respect for them because they have accomplished so much in a short time. We are willing to share any knowledge with them that we have to get them started in the promotional end of the game. And they are really forthcoming in helping us any way they can. |
We typically don't share a lot of fishing information, but maybe a little bit if one of the guys is struggling. |
