Sup people. Im packing my shite and moving to the Caribbean. Screw this shite.

I see you guys let Kentucky push our shite in. Expected. Was it ever close?


Back from the Bassmaster Classic show. I have never been so tired as I was yesterday. That was a grind. My booth was awesome and we sold a lot of fishing stuff there. Looks like I also picked up a half a dozen new dealers in areas I needed as well.

But the big topper was one of the fishermen in the Classic finished 5th on one of my products. Thats big time for a little company like mine.



Whose drinking? Im buying

Im drinking. Mick Ultra Amber (watching my girlie figure). I will invoice you for the beer (said you were buying).

Just bought a house in Auburn because I am damn tired of cold weather in KY. Central Alabama (where I grew up) beats the heck out of KY -- especially this time of year.

I need a job sweeping up a fishing tackle warehouse. Do you pay more than tree fiddy per hr?

I need at least 3.5 days vacation per year, but will give them back if you ask.

I only break for like 30 seconds to make an adjustment in my crotch. 11 minutes for lunch and a required 20 minute power nap around 2-3 pm.

I have counting skills, I FaceTime my son and show him where I need help and he he gives it to me. That's if his preschool isn't doing art work.

I have my own transportation once I get some new wheels for my razor. I have organized warehouses before, ok I have organized a drawer inside a warehouse before. I'm a pretty good cook if you like charred raviolis?

I love fishing and look forward to any chance I get to do so. I usually catch my limit till my son needs the controller and changes the game I had on XBox. I know what a lure is but I don't do it anymore as part of my probation.

Let me know if you need references, I have a couple of friends who you can contact but let me know first so I can get you their inmate #s. Thanks brother. War Eagle

You hush your mouth about the cold weather. I was thinking about packing up and moving to Auburn and go drinking with you. We had a 30 below wind chill here in Minnesota yesterday. I am tired of REAL cold weather. Congrats on the great show. By the way, how's the diet coming? I've lost 20 pounds with 20 more to go.

Congratulations Lanier! If you ever get on a large enough scale to hire a supply chain guy then you know where to look

See, you were doing so good. And we were friends in all.

Then, you had to do this

You are hired man. I have about 35 stores I need to call on and try to get my products in. I should be finished with my Updated 2015 Dealer Price sheet about 2am tonight.


On the phone all day tomorrow. Current Orders will have to wait until I can get more orders. Thats how we roll.

You can't get experience without a job. You can't get a job without experience. Sorry to break it to you.

Wow. Congrats lanier. That's getting into the big time.

When should I expect to see your lures in my local Basspro?

Probably not ever. I have been asked 6 different times about putting them in the Atlanta store. I do a lot of seminars up there and know most of the guys in the store.

I have no read desire to deal with Bass Pro right now...

Is that not "the big time?"

Or does a company liek that screw you over? Would not surprise me.

I would order baits from you if I still fished with spinning/baitcast setup. You start tying flies let me know

There are many issues with dealing with them. Especially for a small company. I am doing fine with the Mom and pop type stores and my web business. No need to go full tard just yet..

I've got four years work in inventory management so my work experience resume isn't completely blank. With employers that I've talked with so far that's been a huge positive

I'd imagine you have to be careful because they could produce the product you present them on their own or they could outsource it to a mass manufacturer like Rapala who could give a lower per unit cost?
