When you understand that just a few short years ago Rich was not
competitive bass fishing, his accomplishment the past few years are eye
opening. Consider first his 2008' season. He won the 'Angler
Of The Year' title in Watershed Bassmasters, the 'Angler Of The
Year' title in the 'Alliance Of Bass Clubs' and the Alliance
Classic Championship. Whew' that's a career in itself.
Rich came into Atlantic and set the tone for his year in his very first
event by winning the clubs two day 'Open Championship' with a
record setting performance. He won an additional three tournaments
during the season including the season ending Classic Championship
on Lake Bomoseen. Rich was just as dominating in 2010 posting
impressive victories at the Masters Championship on Lake Champlain
and the Classic Championship on the Thousand Islands. He
capped off this wonderful season by winning the 2010 Angler Of The Year
title. Another year another title ,ho hum.....Yep, you guessed
it , Rich added another scalp to his pelt when he and son Bob captured
their third consecutive Atlantic Bassmasters 'Angler of The Year'
title. In addition he took 'Top Gun honors for the third
consecutive year at the Alliance Challenge Cup .This is becoming
common place for these two guys, kind of like pairing Davey Crockett and
Daniel Boone on the same team in a shooting contest.
While it might seem easy, Rich puts in the time that makes this team run
like a well oiled clock. The titles and records he has
accumulated in the past three years is a direct result of the team work
between a father and son team that at present resides on top of Atlantics
Mt Olympus. All hail Zeus.....lol |
