Well I never posted on this post but being an ex-football player I don't do much without writing down goals and how I will be able to achieve those goals and put the words in a very visible place so I see them everyday. I'll give you my goals and how I'm feeling about each one.

1.Place in the top 5 in BNT TOC
I still have to qualify

2.Top 3 in Delta Region
3.Top 5 in Travellers region
I would have been more on track if I had switched these two but they are still both a possibility.

4. Weigh in Big Fish
Contra Loma 6-2

5. Place top 10 in a bass boat tourney
I need to enter one to be able to place

6.Weigh in a 20lbs bag.
Keep working on my frog skills, pray, (steal Zaldains livewell off his boat next tourney)

7.Win a BNT event
Middle River 9lbs14oz. really didn't feel like a win since I struggled all day and just got a couple lucky bites on a tough day.


Some of the things I have written below my goals are the ways in which I will be able to attain these.
1. Fish as much as possible, Currently I have 66 check marks and most of those days have been on the river so I feel I am on track for my goal to get as much time on the water as possible.
2. Fish with as many good sticks as possible, everytime out with BNT I am doing this and it truly is helping me become a better angler being around guys that can catch fish.(Still waiting to go fish a day with you Lake-I'll pick up launch and gas)
3. Become more profiecient with topwater especially my trouble baits, Frogs, Spooks, poppers, I am getting a lot more comfortable with frogs and have finally started sticking some nice fish in the last few weeks. Spooks and poppers are still hard for me to get bites.

It has been a very productive year for me so far and I also had a special surprise in February for me when I had the opportunity to get a bass boat so it has been a great year of fishing for me. Hopefully it only gets better as the summer gets into full swing and we move into the fall.
