I knew when I met you that you're on the right track. As I said to you before, you "Get it". This award proves your ability to laser in on a goal and achieve it. It really is an endorsement that you're doing all the right things.
Keep up the great work. Your ambition and talents will take you far, my friend.

Thanks!!!!
I dont know which I am more Excited about. an expenses paid trip to Tulsa Is Fun for the time Being.
BUT A $5,000 Scholarship will take me farther in life.
You have your head on straight, Nick. You'll do well, I'm sure. I hope that $5,000 opens the door for the quality education you deserve. Nice going. Can't wait to read that essay. . .
How did Nick Barr get so good at bass fishing? I'm happy for him and all, but I can't help but feel a little annoyed. I've been bass fishing for three years and still can't fish worth a crap. I read all kinds of articles in Bassmaster and I read the posts on this helpful site, but I just can't produce when I go out. I try numerous techniques that I have read fit the season and conditions, but I'm lucky to catch one bass. The only thing I'm good at is river fishing, and I always catch at least one every time, but the lakes around me always leave me beat with nothing to show for my trouble. Wish I knew how to improve.
pinkfloyd,
What are you shooting for?? Success is all in the eyes of the beholder you know.
We all get frustrated sometimes. Fishing calls for a bit of patience and persistance. Perhaps a helping of both would help.
I wonder if your "new found techniques" are being waisted in the wrong water. You need to keep trying your "stuff" 'cause you never know when or where you may come across what your looking for.
3 years isn't a life time... I think most of the guys here will tell you to stick with the basics and move up from there. Too much too fast isn't good either. Good things come to those who wait! (my Dad always said) Your time will come.
:-[ :-[ :-[ I forgot to say... CONGRATS NICK!!!!!
"Nice job Nick. You are well on your way to proving you have what it takes on the water, and you seem to the have the intelligence and personality needed to make it big in the business of fishing. Keep working hard, add a good education, listen to your momma, and one of these days we'll all be saying, "I knew him back when he was just getting started.'"
Nick, the above post is from a few weeks ago when you made the paper. I am going to save it for future use. I expect to see many more success stories about you in the future. Well done.
Pinkfloyd
Hang in there young man. YankeesWin is right; patience and persistance are the keys. In other words, keep working hard to improve your skills, learn from what you read, and from local fishermen whenever possible. Stay focused and one day soon we will be reading stories of your success in the paper. BTW Nick has already had more success than many others who have been fishing a lot longer than either of you have been around. He has worked hard, had great support, and made good contacts. We can all learn from his example. 8-)
WOW your steering in the right dirrection
WAY TO GO NICK!!!!
KEEP US ALL POSTED AS THINGS PROGRESS.
CONGRATS,
FALCON
Great job, Nick. You are definitely an inspiration to alot of younger anglers in our ranks! Kudos!
