Dave you are the type of guy that all the major fishing leagues are looking for.  Great college career and a wealth of experience at a very young age.  You always seem to be around them.  There are three major circuits right now with two of them being easy to access not to mention BFL

Draw back is start up money, and I don't know your situation.  I do know with what you have in the tank its probably not something I would dismiss without careful consideration.

If you could get some start up help and this was something you wanted to do, life is to short for you not to take a serious look at.

Don't mean to stir the pot but you have something that very few people are blessed with at that young of age, or for that matter, any age.

Good luck in any path you chose and thanks for your contributions to this site.

Great advice Bill! I'm sure working for Marcus Sykora, he has a great mentor and a great tournament fisherman. I think Marcus just might send him in the right direction. It's a tough game without a few sponsors!

[Bill Babler]

Marcus is an excellent fisherman and got started with people that knew what was going on.  Bill Davenport and Marcus win and place by working hard prior to any tournament on either Lake O. or Truman.  Marcus wins prior to the tournaments by planting seeds and harvesting the fruits of his labor on tournament day.  I would only shudder to know the number of piles those guys have put in over the years.

Bill Beck helped Marcus to no end on Table Rock.  He has not done as well since Bill passed.  Marcus has connections everywhere and networks as good as any fisherman.  On raw fish catching and fish finding ability especially at this young age, Dave is ahead of Marcus.

Getting started you cannot be distracted.  Marcus had a business and family by the time he really got good.  Hard to mix that.in the travel plan, especially with him on his fantastic business, which would be to good to give up.

But, there is so much more in that line of work.  You have to be a salesman and a products promoter.  You have to be articulate and have the ability to say and do the right things at the right time.  Everyone is looking for an All American spokes person and not only do you have to catch fish but you have to be tireless in your off the water work habits.

Here we are, we have his future planned out.  Just need a couple of hundred grand to get the ball rolling.

You know you hit the nail on the head there bill. I would love to get rolling into things in the fishing industry. Not even sure really where to start to be honest. I appreciate all the kind words from everyone though! Means alot coming from a hammer like Bill!
