Book excerpt: My life journey is one of faith, family and fishing...in that order. Not until I correctly prioritized my life did I position myself for winning the Bassmasters Classic and FLW Angler of the Year awards in 2002. Certainly, hard work and perseverance were vital, but I learned there is much more. I learned I could not do it by myself. Early in my career, I reached a level of success, but it was limited and not very promising. It took one eye-opening experience to make me understand that true success in life is the result of a faithful relationship with God. Once I embraced this, my career exploded. I approached life with new direction and I learned how to win! Read this book and you will find my personal keys to becoming a more complete person...and a champion. Experience the highs and lows of tournament fishing, and learn how my relationships have inspired and motivated me to achieve my goals as a professional bass fisherman, and as a person. My hope is that this book will help you in your personal journey to success. Book jacket.
