Well, Shemjo, my sister fishes all over the United States. She has even been to New York to fish in tournaments there. She was Bass-N- Gal Angler of the year two years in a row and now fishes in the Women's BASS Tours. Her husband is pro also so between the two of them they cross paths sometimes. She has won about 4 fully rigged bass boats. Me? I perfer pond fishing. I'm not much of a traveling woman. I am a stay at home gal. I get panicky when I get out of my territory. But she is a real trooper. They do yard sales and auctions along the way too so they bring home some interesting things. We live in SW Arkansas so a trip to the big apple is something.
