I have a few cats.
All I see is that they eat, sleep and play.
Sometimes I wish I were a cat. 
Then I think again, and I see that I also eat, sleep and go fishing.
hm………………………………………..
Well, my life is just like theirs…………
I took a moment to think…………
Then I realize that I have a wonderful life.

I went to Basspro Shops in leeds, Alabama. I saw my friend Mike and Lee. I was glad to see them doing well. The store looks busy with customers. I found a few new things there and bought them. well, I hope they work in NY Elite Bassmaster tournament.
Well, I gotta get ready to go up north!

I tried this new Shimano Complex reel. It is very smooth and has a quick adjusting drag system. It was easier to fight with different size fish.
Also, Owner’s Shaky Type jig head worked well with Flick shake. It went through the bush and trees without getting hang ups!

I had a opportunity to fish with Doug. He has been fishing tournaments and guiding on Alabama lakes. I wanted to fish with him before I go up to northern lakes for Bassmaster Elite series and Bassmaster Opens.
We caught a few nice fish on this day at Neely Henry lake.
Good fish was caught on Jackall Flick Shake 6.8.
It was a pretty day again.

I went to Mark’s Outdoors in Alabama.
I found special colored Jackall Muscle deep and MC series lures there.
They both are pretty colors and work well espeacially in Alabama area fishing.
Now Jackall is displayed in the front rows of the store!! They told me they are selling Jackall very well and it is growing big! That’s a good news!

After the ICAST show, I was home for a half the day ,then I had to run to Atlanta area. I visited Jason’s office for future businesses.
After the meeting, we went on Lake Lanier to test some new baits and caught a few good spotted bass.
They were eating dropshotting better than anything else.
Then, we went back to his lake house, and get ready for the next day’s work!
I am still struggling with jetlag……….. I can not believe that I get sleepy in the afternoon when Japan is at early morning time…………. Ahhhhh

Today I went fishing with Doug on Guntersville. He has a frog tournament next month so he wanted to find some good areas. We found a few areas that holding good frog fish.
Then we went to try Jackall new bait, Sasuteki Craw. We used with jigs and Texas rigs.
We manage to catch several decent size fish in the grass area.
We met Warren on the water also. He came to practice for tournament in a few weeks. He caught several good fish in lower end of the lake.
It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed fishing.
