Mark: That’s a long story here’s the condensed version. My dad and I created a tournament calendar 20 years ago, to help anglers know what’s happening and where. I published the calendar for 14 years then needed more room for articles. With the help of Cliff Gallagher I turned it into a regional magazine. In 2007 I wasn’t fishing and I was working at a job that I didn’t like. Then one morning I awoke to paramedics, turns out I had an egg-sized tumor in my brain and had suffered a seizure as a result. After a little work with a chain saw and pliers, they took it out and I’m good as new. After the surgery, some friends were telling me how great the magazine was and how I should take it to the next level and how it was my calling, so in November 2007 Bass Angler’s Guide was born. It wasn’t an overnight success and I lost a lot of staff since the money just wasn’t there at first. I took was left with 90% of the operation and 100% of the liability and so the magazine grew out of pure tenacity, 80 hours weeks and investing everything we owned. Eventually we started gaining traction.
