Mark Menendez – Around the World in Three Days

Bucks Falcon Mercury

MenendezBlogAs I write this blog entry, my truck is outside cooling off from another road trip. I was at the Bass Pro Shops Spring Sales event at three different stores in three days! I represented Strike King on this trip.

The first store was the Columbia, Mo. location. My duties included a daily seminar and working in the Strike King aisles. Fortunately, I was with my friend, Bassmaster Elite Series angler Edwin Evers on the ride to St. Charles, Mo. for round two. Having a travel partner helped with the travel! I have been on the road 23 days in the month of February alone! Our third location took Edwin and me to Memphis, Tn.  The Pyramid was last location of the weekend.

I have also been working on a video project for Tacklewarehouse.com. My production company worked late last night to get several videos finished. These videos will be featured as Vlogs and product videos for my sponsors. It will be a very time consuming venture. It will also mean some much needed time on the water as well!

My new Skeeter FX20 has arrived at my local dealership. The guys at The Old Baithouse in Paducah, Ky. will start rigging Power Poles, Lowrance Electronics, and Northstar Batteries. I can’t for you guys to see the boat. I did something special with it for my wife.

Donna continues to make progress with her battle against Pancreatic Cancer. She is in the final Chemotherapy treatments of her protocol. She is amazing me everyday. A positive attitude can conquer all most anything! A lesson we should all learn! Please send her words of encouragement on Facebook, at “Cancer: Battle Royale”.
