Just wanted to take a second to recognize Jay Wallace and Boag Hog Baits for believing in me and backing me in my journey... I know this may sound corny to you guys, like oh he gets a jersey, some jigs, wins a tourney now he's a big deal.. Not my point at all. Theres a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on, hours of conversations, thousands of texts, bouncing ideas off each other, plans for the furture, etc.
I'm still taken by surprize at the amount of praise and confidence that Jay has in me, lets face it this guy is trying to build a business here, one would think he would be focused souly on trying to sell his product, but I can tell you from first hand experience he has invested as much if not more time into convincing me I can work my way up through the ranks over the years to get to where I want to be.
Im sure some would say "Neil your a walking Billboard he is having you sell the name everytime you show up to fish" I assure you its much more than that, theres a friendship that has grown in a short amount of time that warms my heart...
Now dont get it twisted just cause I said it warms my heart doesnt mean I wont kick you F#*&ing A$$ if you goof on me, that part still hasnt changed
I came from a place where not a single person believed I'd do anything but a life sentence or end up dead. Jay has shown me I am worth the effort, and that I can be believed in.
So a special thanks goes out to you Jay and all of Boag Hog Baits Staff, much appreciated!
LONG LIVE BOAG HOG!!
