    I think it'll be a typical Beaver tournament, with weights maybe a little lower than normal because you can't see (the fish). But the water's been warming up and they're starting to bite better every day.

    I've been fishing as a pro for 25 years, and never in my life have I had so much excitement. It's been such a roller coaster this last year. I've been way down, and I've been as high as you can get. This last year was one of the best I ever had. I won that big FLW tournament last year, finished in the top 10 in BASS and in the top 10 at FLW.

    In my book, he's the best of all time. I remember thinking when he started that he would become a well-known fisherman because he was so consistent. Today, if you graded all the fishermen, he's still number one. From the time he started until today, he's been probably the most versatile fishermen no matter where we go - clear water, deep water, shallow water, mud holes, rivers. He's the most consistent. He's in the top 10 more than anyone I know of. In my book, he's the best.
