I have probably written more words about Skeet this year than in any other year in the past. At first glance, that makes total sense as he has had a season for the ages -- two Elite Series wins, two runner-up finishes and two other top fives, and a lead in the Angler of the Year race that would be insurmountable would it not be for the crazy system that BASS has devised for determining the AOY from the top 12 anglers.
There are few things that take the edge off a hot, midsummer’s day in the mid-south better than a trip to one of Tennessee’s many smallmouth-fishing creeks. With June being a record warm month and July following that trend, I was more than ready to walk the pristine waters of some of my favorite backcountry waterways.
We all know that if you take care of your equipment by regular and routine maintenance it will perform like it was designed to, when it is needed. This goes for any and all of your fishing tackle; rods, reels, lures and accessories that you have spent your hard earned money on.
