Tony Dadante-Pro Staff
BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE..... I remember the
moment when I gave Kurt Busch a check for $1,000,000 (One
Million Dollars) for winning the NASCAR Nextel Cup.
PRICELESS... Kurt commented to me how much that tag line
motivated him and the team. C'MON FISHING OUTDOORS is
dedicated to helping anglers achieve their dreams and overcome
the many obstacles in their path. We are a faith based
organization that simply believes that Gods grace is
sufficient and that through a relationship with him he will
show us the right path.
" Nascar's most successful car owner Jack Roush and
company president Geoff Smith enjoy the moment with Mr.
Hot Wheels Tony DaDante after the group signed a multi
million dollar promotional deal for the "The Justice
League" race with Warner Bros and DC Comics"

 Alex
Davis-
Pro-Staff Member & Guide
Click on link below for details
Alex was chosen from 100 applicants
of fine young fisherman by our staff to represent Team Denver Marine
this year.
Alex
lives in Albertville, AL on Lake Guntersville.
His tournament record and
that info isn't the longest since he lived in Colorado. Alex plans on fishing
the Bama BFL's in 2006 and the Bass Southern Opens in 2006, but just
plan on fishing all the wildcats and small tournaments he can this year
(50 -60 ) boats. Alex also plan on learning the surrounding lakes so next
year I can excel in the BFL and Southern Opens. For now he's won around
600 dollars and have 2 club tournament wins and 5 2nd place finishes and
10 top 5's.

The pics are from the last few weeks. Two weeks ago I fished a FOM
tournament and ended up with 10 with 15.89 their was 44 boats. The tues
after that fished a 20 boat wildcat and came in third with 10.55. Last
tues fished another tues night tournament and got first with 17.25 witht
hte big fish of the tournament at 6-4. The tournaments run from 6-9 and
2nd had 10 lbs and third had 6 lbs. My other sponsor Kistler Rods called
me on Wed and want me to take out Scott Martin prefishing for the FLW Tour
stop on Wheeler but he will be locking to Guntersville. He came in 2nd at
last years FLW Tour Championship and has won 3 FLW Tour Events. He is
Rolands Martins son and is on Rangers National Staff also sponsored by
Chevy and more. So that will be a fun experience and I think he will be
staying with us for a while. The pics are from recently and the one is the
big fish from the tournament the other night. The link is to the results
with pics from the Tues night tournament. I was wondering if I could get
some business cards to pass around, and give one to Scott because I think
he might be in your neck of the woods soon and if he needs anything he
could have a place to go. Also could I get some Team Denver Marine t
shirts in Med and Large and a Team Denver Marine Sticker for my truck
because I am getting a Chevy Tahoo and need one for it. Thanks for
everything I appreciate what you have done for me and will remember who
helped me out and got me in my first Ranger when I make it. Just wanting
to tell you how the fishing been going.
