9370, Good News and Bad News
Posted by CJ, Fri Apr-18-03 09:20 PM
Well I guess it had to happen enventually, but I am sorry to say that Kevin aka DoubleTrouble has left BWW for greener pastures. He has finished college and will now chase after the real money in the competitive world of uniform program sales (Cintas). We all wish him well as he will always be a part of our family. On a brighter note, we have hired a Calfishing member to be his replacement. Brian aka Tsunami is starting his first day with us tomorrow. I am sure that he will be a great compliment to our store.

Kevin is away at Clear Lake for the rest of the week, but when he gets back we will hold a going-away party, as well as a welcome party for Brian. Anyone interested in finding out when can e-mail me. Thanks.

I started fishing with Brian (Tsunami) last month and I have to say that the guy brings a lot of tallent and enthusaism to the water. Above all he is genuine, he encourages those who are new to the sport and helps those who show interest in learning. I have no doubt that he will be an awsome addition to the team. We were actually fishing when Brian got the call from Bass World West. Condradulations on the new jobs.

Thanks guys for the kind words, im totally stoked to be able to be part of BWW. Ive already started my first day there and im blown away by the knowledge Jeff and CJ have to offer, very humbling and super informative. Filling Kevins shoes is gonna be a big job for me, i know hes been totally helpful to me on many occasions and hopefully i can pass on the vibe to others. Im totally stoked. Stop by and say hi. Good fishing to everyone.

Naw, those clown shoes actually come in a variety of sizes. haha, sorry couldn't resist :) Ok, one more.... The first thing you gotta do is get that rainbow butterfly for your avatar. Alright, I'm done, seriously... Just remember, bald is beautiful. Ok, I gotta stop, that's enough. hahaha

Dang Kevin, sad to see ya go. I'm sure Brian #4326594817 will be a great addition to the crew.

Congratulations to Kevin!!!! I graduated from UC at 35, and it made a world of difference in my life. The world is wide-open for you Kevin!

IMO Tsunami coming to BWW is awesome! I remember the string in which the job offer was made(I thought jokeingly). I can't believe that both parties followed through. That would be a job that I would look forward to going to every morning. Tsu,I look forward to meeting you in person.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm having a great time at Clear Lake right now, even though the weather absolutely sucks. Way too much rain and unstable weather. So far, I've got 3 Osprey fish up to 9 lbs. which has made my trip. The 9 lb'er was the fattest fish I have ever caught. When I get back, I'll post the picks. Talk to you soon! I have to get some sleep so I can go back out tomorrow and freeze my balls off. Oh, by the way, Dobyns is leading the Everstart right now with 25 lbs. He told me he could have caught two more 8 lb'ers but he shook them off to save for the final days. He is amazing!
