First, I gotta give props to Evan Williams – actually Heaven Hill Distilleries – for sticking with the bass fishing scene. Many so-called “non-endemic” (non-fishing) companies come and go, not Evan Williams.
Also cool that I see the following full-page ad in Sports Illustrated, showing the world’s most awesome fishing show fish. But what does it mean?
> “Best Lake for Prized Largemouth” – Prized?
> And Bienville? A private lake?
> Unless something’s changed, Bienville is pay to play, too.
I don’t know, man. I’m going with Fork or Guntersville, and would probably use the word “Huge” or “Giant” over “Prized.”
Maybe I’m overthinking this…but it’s my job!

They don’t know what they’re printing man! They’re on the sauce so everything sounds good to them.

Sadly, everything is turning into just that; “pay to play”. But I would probably go with a SoCal lake or Amistad/Falcon for a “prized” fish.

Yes indeed, props to Evan Williams. A couple years ago I wrote them a letter thanking them for their support of our sport and for sponsoring Jason Quinn. I support, and encourage, the companies that support my sports. It’s 9:12 a.m. is it too early to buy a round of Evan Williams SHHHHHHHHHOTS ? !
