Well guys, I can't believe it, but I am in an outdoor publication, LOL!

Also posted this on the main board since I have so many friends here.

Some guy called me a few months back and wanted to talk and said he was writing and outdoor article and then they called back a couple weeks ago and ask for a few pictures. Well today my wife brings home the mail and in it is a copy of the paper Lone Star Outdoor News and there I was. Holly cow I am so surprised and even online? I kind of feel honored I guess, but really don't know how to feel about it.:eek:

Anyway here is a link if anyone want to read it....

That was a good article Skip. It's good to be acknowledged for all of your hard work and skills. Congrats

Skip, I have used your jigs and they work great! You have put together some of the best color combinations I have seen. Keep up the good work and know that I recommend your jigs every time some one ask...Thump It

Congrats Skip you certainly deserve recognition. And like the article said about you helping people choose, you have certainly helped me choose on materials, paints, fluid beds. People I meet out fishing or other places I always talk about C.C. and tell them about fellas such as yourself that always reply to people questions with help and knowledge on what to do.

congrats skip on your recognition and keep up the good work

Cool! Just don't let the big time get to your head around here... ;)

Thanks guys I sure appreciate your comments!

quivira kid, me get a big head? Not going to happen and nothing has changed in my mind. Just got some recognition for working hard to learn and put out a good product which is nice, but I still was painting and tying jigs for guys this weekend. Got to get done before I leave so this tying area is still just sitting here waiting on me to do something.

Admit it makes a fella feel good for a bit, but that is all. Got too much on my plate to do anything different.

I will be the same guy I was before and no difference in any way.

Man, it's great! I was just giving you a hard time. Enjoy a little limelight!

very nice skip!good work!

Good job my friend. Congrats.

that is a beautiful article skip. Congratulations in my book you are a truly a professional at what you do. I have been tying jigs for 50 years and still years look better than mine. I think you put your heart and soul into it, which is a good thing skip it shows your findability to make something beautiful for the crappie fishermen and I'm sure every one of the fishermen out there that has bought some a your jigs will agree 100% yours are the top-of-the-line for hand tied jigs.

Thanks guys and Bob that is just too kind!
