4415, Belloni goes Bass Pro Shops...
Posted by Leroy H, Tue Feb-20-07 08:29 AM
I was checking out the early spring angler catalog 2007 from Bass Pro Shops and on page 165 there is a side box with the heading 'Possible Record?' says it was taken from 'Trophy Bass Care and Handling' by Rob Belloni...

Wow, life is full of surprises. I've never talked to Bass Pro before. Too bad they didn't give a plug for the web site. I must think on this...

I had a feeling something like this was the deal since you never mentioned to me before it went public. Tell em

SHOW ME THE MONEY

At least they mentioned you as the author. That is a lot better than people changing one or two words and trying to claim it. They should have asked your permision but its still pretty cool. Rob maybe you should be a part time outdoor writer?

Yeah, I thought about this for a while and decided not to be mad about it. They didn't ask my permission to use those comments but at least they gave credit. Maybe that will lead people to google my name, find calfishing.com and buy some tackle through tacklewarehouse.com :)

If I had more time I would probably write more. I do write a lot for this site ;) I feel like before I die I would like to write a book. Not now, but when I am older and wiser ( I hope )

Well thats a pretty good attitude dude. I guess it is pretty sweet to know that the big elephant of the bass fishing tackle industry is lurking on your site. They should hook you up though next time they gank your website for content with at least a URL for calfishing.
