This is a quick report about the H-1 Grand Prix which was held in Japan this past weekend. On May 22nd, Sunday, there very first H-1 Grand Prix competition sponsored by Mr. Mitsuo Suzuki was held. Even in the sprinkling rain, I heard it became such an exciting tournament maybe because it was a hardbait only competition.
Saturday was the highlight of my year.
We hosted our first Skeet Reese Kids Fishing Day in the community where our girls go to school; Meadow Vista. Kim and I have always wanted to do a kids event, but we didn’t really know how we wanted to do it. When we talked about doing a combination kids fishing day / fundraiser for the Community Center in town; we decided to do it. skeetreeseinc.com

Going from Red River, Louisiana to Lake Fork, Texas was only a 2 1/2 hour drive, but from a fishing standpoint, it was like going from Hell to Heaven. I fished today with pro-angler and Lake Fork guide, Lance Vick. Joe Thomas Blog
I stayed over in Shreveport most of the day before heading on over to Lake Fork where we plan to shoot tomorrow. After picking up my producer, Jim, at the airport, we headed to the convention center to catch the final weigh in of the 2011 BFL All American which just happened to be in town. Joe Thomas Blog
The Red River truly kicked my tail this week! Today, I only locked one pool down, to try to maximize fishing time, but I still only managed 3 fish weighing 4 1/2 pounds. My whopping two day total of 6 pounds 15 ounces landed me solidly in 119th place. Joe Thomas Blog
I was so concerned about locking, that I guess I forgot you have to catch fish. Today seems like a bad dream! I caught 8 or 10 fish, but only had 2 small keepers for 123rd place. Not sure what to do tomorrow, but I definitely have to do something different from today. Joe Thomas Blog

West Point and Lake Murray are behind us, and I’m still getting the question; “what’s wrong with Skeet?”
First off, nothing’s wrong with me; everything is fine personally; I’m just having one of those years on the water that things just aren’t going right. skeetreeseinc.com
