This past weekend I was very fortunate to pull off a win on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Leesburg, Florida.  However, this win just wasn’t just any win, it was more than that. Almost a month ago my best friend, my mentor and most importantly my dad lost his long fought battle with brain cancer he was 59 years young. We fished a lot together during my younger years and I enjoy talking to him almost daily about life, family and fishing. We were just talking a few weeks back about him coming down after this set of treatments and doing a little bass fishing on my new boat.

You only get one chance in life sometimes, so make every second count. You have today, tomorrow isn’t always guaranteed. This tournament I vowed to win in honor of my dad. I’m was proud to call him MY dad and we will see each other soon enough in heaven. Dad this win is for you!
