HOW Awards-In-Craft Winner (1st Place in the Writing – Fishing category) “Champion Bass Angler Makes Time For Youngster” by Brandon Butler When Eric Johnson was a boy growing up in Columbus, Indiana, his dream was different than most of his friends. It wasn’t gridiron glory or Hoosier hysteria that gripped him, it was bass fishing. Johnson’s dream was to become a professional fisherman. Now, years later, with some high profile bass tournament wins under his belt, including a $50,000 first place payoff in a Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) regional and the 2008 Hoosier Open at Lake Monroe, Johnson is making a name for himself as an angler who regularly contends for the top of the leader board. “I am living my dream,” Johnson said. When he’s not on the water, Johnson can be found at Big River Tackle and Timber in Nashville, Indiana. He serves as store manager. A perfect job for him, because his duties allow him to talk fishing all day. His whole world revolves around catching bass, so he enjoys his duty of conversing with many fishermen a day. And after meeting so many anglers, for a particular person to stand out is rare. Yet, that’s exactly what happened when Johnson met John Weddle. Weddle, an 11-year-old young man, also from Columbus, approached Johnson after Sunday service at the Community Church of Columbus. “He (Weddle) came right up to me and told me he was a bass fisherman,” Johnson said. “He asked if we could maybe fish together sometime. It meant a lot to me. Not too long ago, I was just a kid trying to get started in the sport.” Johnson invited Weddle to join him in his brand new Nitro bass boat for a day on Lake Monroe. “It was great to see his face when he got in my boat. You could tell he loved it,” Johnson said. “I gave him control of the back of the boat, just minutes later, he was up front fishing right beside me.” Perhaps Weddle’s confidence is rooted in being an accomplished angler himself.
