Bass Pundit Endorsements for B.A.S.S. All-Star Voting

Region 1: Shaw Grigsby- Truth be told I have never been a real Shaw Grigsby guy. He gets the endorsement for 2 reasons. 1. I used his jersey as a template for my own. 2. The contrast between how Shaw handled sharing water with Grant Goldbeck vs how Denny Brauer mishandled sharing water with JVD.

Region 2: Brent Chapman- Brent is a bass fishing blogger who I follow. Brent is a great guy who struggled some this season, but finished strong and made his way back to the Classic. Don "DB" Barone wrote an article titled "How fragile, we..." at the end of the year that featured Brent and his wife Bobbi (who also blogs) that chronicled the stress of a season not going well. Brent is guy who has paid his dues and is a true professional.

Region 3: David Walker- I not exactly sure why but David Walker is one of my favorite Pro anglers. He has a blog at his website and also does with The Evinrude Blog. It was cool see Dave pick up his first win ever this season and make his goal of getting back to Classic, which is the reason he left FLW.
Updated- I just found out from facebook that David is actually a Northern Boy originally from Michigan. Just another reason to like him.

Region 4: Brandon Palaniuk- This Federation Angler from Idaho turned Elite Series Pro living his dream has been fun to watch. He had a great season, that in some ways was overshadowed because this years crop of veteran rookies was so strong. He would have been Rookie of the Year last year going away. It's highly impressive that Brandon made it back to the Classic, especially having to deal with a couple of difficult circumstances that had to be overcome (The manatee zone incident and the selfish Denny Brauer). I hope Brandon makes it in the sport and he is going to need sponsors for next year, making it as an All-Star would be huge for Brandon in terms of selling himself to potential sponsors.

All 4 of these guys are on Facebook.

So go to All-Star Week Voting Page and vote for these guys. You could win a boat.
