2012
Bassmaster Classic


Brandon Palanuik & Josh Polfer are geared up and pump to get to the 2012 Bassmaster classic. They are both heading that direction next week.
Josh is also our IBFN State President. Now tell me that's not a hand full !!! He has been burning the candle at both ends of the stick to try and keep his duties fulfilled as well as prepare for the event of a lifetime !!! When asked how he's holding up he said "OMG, this is a wild ride !!!"
Brandon, on the other hand is coming off a big tournament on the Harris Chain in Florida.... it's got to be tough to be focused o anything else with a Classic just a month away... Or maybe not. It could be that a guy just needs something to focus on besides that huge event...
In any case these two are off to make Idaho Proud ...
Congratulations guys !!
Stay tuned during the classic for updates, as this reporter plans on being front row !!!
***************************************** *******************************
You can read it on the building !!!
Its a beauty !!! Wrapped and Rollin, Josh is on his way to the Classic ...
Following in the footsteps of Brandon, Josh is going to join the Top Fishermen in the World to compete for $500,000 dollars and a chance at a future as a Professional Fisherman ...
