Vote For Me Please!!!

By now I am sure that everyone knows I love warm water fly fishing, poppers, and fiberglass rods. Melissa and I have built a small business around this love.  Needless to say when Cameron over at The Fiberglass Manifesto proclaimed that 2013 would be the Year of the Bluegill I was excited.   My goal for January was to make sure that I was the winner for the spotting contest in order to set the tone for the Year of the Bluegill and get it off to a great start (in my mind, at least!).  For those that don't know, Cameron holds a spotting contest each month.  The idea is that the reader/follower will submit photos of themselves wearing The Fiberglass Manifesto apparel.  Each month, voting takes place and a winner is chosen.   While working on poppers, I had Melissa take a photo of me while I was wearing my TFM bluegill shirt.  I mean what better way to kick of the Year of the Bluegill then to have a warm water junkie win the first month?!?!?  So, with a big push and a lot of asking, our friends, family, followers, fans and customers came through.  I won January and became a finalist for the grand prize.  



It's that time again for me to reach out and ask all of our fans, followers, customers, supporters, friends and family to take some time and vote for me.  I would love to end the Year of the Bluegill on a high note.  I feel that these fish are underrated and never get the respect they deserve.  As I have stated before, they are the Rodney Dangerfield of the fish community....no respect!  To make matters worse, I missed more than half of the Year of the Bluegill thanks to my injury.  Disappointing for sure.  So with all that being said, I am asking each of you to send an email to Cameron over at The Fiberglass Manifesto and tell him you want to vote for Jeff Price.  The email address is tfmcontests@gmail.com.  Thanks for your help and support!

    As you know I will be kicking off my fourth year of landing 50 super size bluegills during the spring and summer season. I haven't meet my goal yet, but I hope to accomplish it this year. Can Cameron declare another year of the super size bluegill for 2014; I will ask him when I email my vote for you. Thanks for supporting this lesser know fish, it is a monster on the fly rod.

  2. I don't have the lofty goals for super size Bluegill that Bill has due to Northern Colorado not being ideal for big Bluegill. However, doesn't mean I don't love them any less, My favorite fish. That being said, thanks for the great sticker I got in the mail and my vote is in the mail to Cameron.
