Jay Yelas: A Champion's Journey of Faith, Family, and Fishing
Jay Yelas: A Champion's Journey of Faith, Family, and Fishing , is an autobiography of one of the greatest bass fishing champions of all time. The author, Jay Yelas, is the current titleholder of the 2002 CITGO BASSMASTERS Classic®-the "Super Bowl" and "Granddaddy" of bass fishing tournaments. Jay is also the champion of the prestigious Wal-Mart FLW Tour®. The book covers Jay Yelas' life from the time he caught his first bass at age six to the time he stepped onto the awards stage at the 2002 CITGO BASSMASTERS Classic®. With fishing tales, humor, and enthusiasm, Jay recounts the good and bad experiences that steered him toward success in fishing and in life. Jay includes a blow-by-blow description of tournament events leading to his incredible year in 2002, with the story culminating in an emotional win of both the Wal-Mart FLW Tour® Angler of the Year award, and the CITGO BASSMASTERS Classic®. Struggling with the demands of a career and family, Jay was forced to evaluate a life that he describes as "not complete or fulfilling." Through prayer and a commitment to Jesus, Jay and his wife Jill created a "Life Mission" for Jay, giving him clarity and renewed focus that resulted in a magical 2002 season.
