Glad you enjoyed it. I don't get to fish for pike anymore but they used to be my favorite fish to fish for.

Curious do they pay all your expenses or did it cost you as well?
It was an incredible experience in many different ways. Hobie did pick up the tab for basically everything. My meals and travel expenses were covered. The only thing I spent money on was some tackle at the local shop and some beers and gifts for mom and the girlfriend! I'm heading to KY lake this weekend to fish the Hobie Bass Open and hopefully earn a spot for the next World's!
