Welcome Thomas Ferro! Thomas fished our Gibbons Jelly Jar with Jimmy Patterson, and also had fished the MCFP tourny in November. He was not able to make it to our last meeting, so we agreed to offer a Probationary Membership until he can formally be elected to the club in March. Below is Thomas' background and it looks like he we added another good stick! Below is from an email I received introducing himself:
"I am from Tomball, TX and moved to Willis in 1999. My wifes name is Stacy and I have two children, Lauren which is 8 and Zell which is 2. I have been a sales representative for Specialty Supply & Installation, LLC in Willis, TX for 17 years. Our company sells and installs spectator seating. I was a member of the Tomball Lunker Club from around 1991 to 1995 and a member of the Southern Bass Masters club in 1995. Other than club tournaments, I have fished tournaments (not with much success but always enjoyed the competition) in the following organizations: Anglers Choice, Redman, BFL, Texas Tournament Trail, Bass N Bucks, and Bass Champs. I fished most of these events from 1996 until 2005. I was also an original member of the Skeeter Performance Demo Team. I decided in 2006 to cut way back on my fishing and then I decided in 2010 that I wanted to try and get back into it (tournament fishing). I met one of your current members (Jimmy Patterson) at the boat ramp in Seven Coves and he gave me little information about the club. I decided that it would be a great way to meet some new people and ease back into fishing again.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to give me a call at 713.542.4178.
Thanks again for the opportunity.
Regards, Thomas Ferro"
