OK I think I'm finally coming up for air after working last Thursday through Sunday night for Mike Iaconelli and Pete Gluszek's "The Bass University"
Once again Mike and Pete put on a great seminar, this is NOT your average seminar and no matter how experienced you are you will learn something over the two days. I personally picked up quite a few things that I know will help me in my own tournaments this season.
I want to thank Mike and Pete again for having me be on the staff for the weekend and include my Autism Awareness booth in their seminar as well as their continued support of my "Fishin' with a Mission" decal program, displaying the decal on their rigs for this season.
I also want to thank them for including me both on and off the clock in their stay here in Ma. I really enjoyed hanging with all of them. John Crews really indulged my questions about flipping and punching on Friday night when we had dinner together, he's also been very helpful in suggesting inside ways, the do's and don't s, of how to grow my efforts to raise Autism Awareness with in the fishing community. He's become a real friend!
Pete blew me away with his seminar presentations, he's an unreal educator and he also spent time with me giving me advice.
Mike, as has always been the case with me was just awesome! We talked a lot of "shop" privately over the weekend and his advice both about things on the water and off is invaluable but he also was just a great guy to hang out with after hours. We all had a great dinner on Saturday night and then Mike and I hung out with the "HatCams" people and some of the seminar students till way to late Saturday night. Mike and John also had me sit in with the noted outdoor writer Don Barone when Dan O'Sullivan from "AdvancedAngler.com made a funny video of Mike's new energy drink.

Mark Davis, David Walker, and Gary Klein were also great presenters as well and I hope they to decide to get on board with the "Fishin' with a Mission" program as well.
Anyone who is thinking about if they might want to attend an up coming Bass University should really go for it. Mike and Pete make it a great program and you will have fun as well as learn a lot!
Thanks again to Mike and Pete and the entire Bass U staff for "making me one of their own" for a weekend once again. I really appreciate all that you guys do for me and my cause!
Eli, Luke, and Deb
