Bradley has been nick named the "Accidental Tourist" because by his own account, he has considered himself to be a good, regional fisherman.  However, that all changed in early December of 2004, when taught the 80 angler field a thing or two about locating bass on the rain swollen, Ouachita River as he won the BASS Open Championship, qualified for the BASS Tour and qualified for the Bass Master Classic.  So much changed in one week.  He will now fish the BASS Tour, and spent almost two weeks in Florida before the 30 day off limits period.  Bradley is facing one of those "chance of a lifetime" opportunities.  He knows that this chance may never present itself to him again.  So his bags are packed and goes into this Tour thing not knowing quite what to expect.

Fish Like These Two Helped Bradley Win The Open Campionship.

"I liked what I saw in Florida, (before the cut off period,)  a lot of the vegetation is similar to what we have in Texas.  I am really excited about it."
