We're kicking off the new year with Pat Ney of the National Professional Anglers Association.

Pat talks about the benefits of membership in that group and the role Bruce DeShano and Off Shore Tackle have played in it's success.

Ney encourages all professional anglers, including tournament participants, fishing guides, charter captains...and fishing educators to become members of NPAA. He says it's "the best hundred bucks you can spend on your career".
