If you ever get as chance to fish a tournament with Roland, you better jump all over it! This was just between a few friends,  Roland had the fire of a teenager to whoop some butt. Great day on the water by all.

I have been lucky to have filmed with Roland a few times and these are by far some of the best TV shows I have had the opportunity to be a part of!  Thanks Roland.
