ne Plus Pro Blake Champion:What an exciting time to be involved in the sport of professional redfishing. Competitive redfishing, as an organized sport, is a relatively young entity as compared to it’s freshwater counterpart. But, in that short history, tournament redfishing has grown and developed at an astonishing rate. This growth and success is owed, in large part, to the forward thinking of organizations like the Inshore Fishing Association, Oboy Oberto Redfish cup, and FLW outdoors. These organizations have supplied the template for redfishing’s rapid growth and positive change, through the passion and drive of the anglers that have made the sport what it is today. We all now enjoy highly competitive fields, increases in payouts and incentives, and increasing television exposure thanks to the dedication, and commitment of men and women that we fish along side today. There is no need to mention names, we all know who they are, and for all of us who have followed behind we are grateful for their efforts.
Where is professional redfishing going from here? It seems to me that things will only continue to grow and prosper. The IFA and Redfish Cup continue to improve on an already effective system. A steady stream of new aspiring anglers are entering the sport, and now the new Ht3 Pro’s Choice Redfish Tour with it’s unique and exciting plan has emerged to join the game. The future of our sport does indeed look bright!
The Ht3 professional redfish tour promises to bring an innovative format, aggressive professional promotion, and most importantly an unparalleled energy and enthusiasm to every event in 2009. How will Ht3 be able to compete in the existing landscape of pro redfishing? Well, the answer is simple. There is no need to compete. Ht3 simply offers us something different. The difference is a new format and concept that, in my humble opinion, will enhance and complement redfish competition and help to grow the sport as a whole. When a new redfish tour or innovative idea pertaining to redfish tournaments succeeds we all benefit from that success. Without continued interest and forward positive gains any sport will slowly and sometimes even quickly fade away.
One of the most promising qualities of Ht3 Outdoors can not be found on it’s website, nor will it be announced at it’s tournament venues. That unspoken quality is Ht3’s willingness to listen, and to allow input and insight for positive change to come from the most important source, that source being the anglers that line up to compete. By allowing anglers to give both positive and negative feedback helps direct changes that may improve the tour and eventually the sport as a whole. I am sure the Ht3 redfish tour will offer everything we expect in a professional tournament and more.
We will talk more about the specifics of Ht3’s new format and the benefits it will offer as the 2009 season approaches. Until then, the best of luck to everyone in the 2009 season, may we all get on a huge school of scuds!
