How many of those clowns did you guide around before tourney this week Lanier?

None. That was once a thing and I have done it plenty of times but now the circuits have a strict "no info" rule. As soon as the tournament schedule is announced, that particular lake becomes off limits for information. The only information they can receive is either from a public source or another competitor. I have a bunch of them using my products and I have to be very careful what I tell them when they call for orders. Its a touchy deal.

This has been like that for a few years and a few guys have been caught getting information and DQ'ed. I would never tell them something that could cost them 125K.

Sold a lot of lures and fortunately, the top finishers were using products that were very similar to what I have been selling lately and using on my guide trips. Sales are up since the tournament started and this should be a very good week for me.

Did a few interviews live during the event with Bassmaster and those went well. They talked a lot about my big win and that also brought me some good business.
