He's always done things no one's surprised at, whether it's for publicity or by accident.

Sen. Santorum is simply trying to gain publicity for his re-election campaign.

It wasn't too bad. I hope to get 10 pounds each day, but I can't figure out how to catch the big one. So many fish are just hanging out, and the warm water hasn't brought them in yet.

I had a great career with BASS, but they need to change some of their rules. I just can't compete in that many events. My shoulders won't take it. They're just wore out from 29 years of fishing tournaments, a billion casts, and years of guiding before that.

I feel a lot better about this tournament. There will be a lot of flipping, and I like pitching- and flipping-type baits. I'll try to develop a pattern that centers around that style of fishing. I've got some ideas, but I don't know what's going to change in seven days.

The main thing is that it's the Classic. There's a lot of money involved. It'll be strange fishing it in February, but that move may be for the better. I like fishing in Florida. It's one of my favorite states to fish in. I like fishing with plastic worms, so this will be right down my alley.
