Elite Ozark Guide Service

I joined my first bass club at age 15. ( Technically, I was too young according to their bylaws, but one member convinced the others to give me a chance.) I won the first tournament I entered with that bass club, fishing out of the back of the boat, and there was no turning back. I sold the jon boat and purchased another boat. My buddies and I spent the summer building a deck on this boat with a live well in it. The project made for a great summer and helped me hook some of my friends on fishing, but I wasn’t done yet. I needed more horsepower to move to the front of the boat, so I kept buying refurbishing and selling boats to upgrade. It’s hard to remember how many boats that have come and gone since that first jon boat – I have to guess it is 15 or 16 boats now. I made it my goal to fish at a high level and consciously made choices that would help me get there – from spending Saturday with a notebook in front of the TV watching fishing shows, to giving up high school baseball in favor of fishing. In college, my friends always knew I would disappear from early spring to late fall – fishing bass tournaments was the best way to spend a weekend for me.
