Ready or not here we come for the Clinton pool event, when life knocks you out of the boat, what do you do? I choose to be jesus strong and climb back in, please do the same for yourself and help others! Feels like I m heading to a family reunion!

Fantastic news!  Congratulations
I find it incredible that I have to explain to a grown American citizen that taking a knee during the National Anthem is disrespectful.

All I can say is what a huge honor for the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. To have Tommy as a member. Enuff said, I say. Enuff said.

Everhart's Outdoor Store in Clinton MO.  A photo circa 2014 when Tommy and I were chasing around State Championships on the Crappie Master's Tournament Trail.  Good times & great memories.

Some might say the induction is due to back to back walleye championships sprinkled with a host of other wins, but I'm betting the real consideration started when he proved himself in a completely different class by carpooling with a whitetail in his backseat on the way to a tourney... keep it up, Tommy, you're not done yet!
