Mike B,
That's a very interesting take on the evolution of tournament fishing. I think only a madman like me, or maybe you, however can truly appreciate your genius.

On another subject and now that you're on this thread, I sent you an email not long ago that I don't think you received asking if you would consider sending me some samples of your spoon and spinner flies. I insist on paying for both them and the shipping if you would be so kind as to send them to me. I've seen the photos and they look like they would interest some finny creatures around here. Thanks for considering my request. Send me an email if you can. Robert
