Special thanks to Paul for taking over BNT when I stepped down. I know the amount of work it takes to keep this going. You did a great job under tough circumstances and stuck with it. You did more then anyone could ask. Being a BNT staff member is like working a part time job for free. Thanks Mitch as well for being the backbone of BNT. Rob thanks for stepping up and bringing a new beginning to BNT. I like the direction your taking the club and I am here if you need help.

Cant forget to thank the members of BNT, old and new. Without the members there wouldn't be a club. Every time I see the results I am amazed at all the new faces. Everyone tell a friend and get them out with BNT in 2011.

For those of you that don't know me. I started BNT in 1995 and ran the club for 10 years. I am now a Tournament Direct for the CA Bass Federation and try to fish with BNT when I can. So if you see my opinion on BNT matters here on the forum, just take it with a grain of salt as I am just trying to help. I cant seem to break away from my BNT roots. I have been a BNT member since 1995 and will always be a BNT member. Even though I don't join you all as much as I would like. I still preach BNT when I can and try and help the club grow.

Happy Holidays All

Thanks to Paul, Rob, and Mitch but also thanks to you too John! It may not show in my results but I cannot tell you how much I have learned from you and others in this club. That and all of the fun and good times I have had fishing and hanging out with everyone year after year.

When I first met you Swampy and I were fishing Pinto and not getting bit. You and T (I think) floated up, said Hi, and told us about the club you had formed. After chatting for a few you two went past us fishing the water Swampy and I had just fished pulling fish after fish out of those trees! Swampy and I looked at each other and said we had to get in on this...

Best wishes to everyone in the club!

Thanks to you LAKE for having the vision to start a club where a guy or gal could start competing and have a lot a of fun with a bunch of crazy kickboaters. I'm sure everyone who's fished a B N T tourney can relate. You have shown that you can compete even if you don't own a $50,000 bass boat and still be able to compete and have fun.

I think it was T for Todd...he fished with the club a long time ago. Could have been Eric though; my memory isn't so good.

Regardless they were just fishing machines; flipping fish after fish out of the trees across fr0om Marmo's.
