James RickardA family in the Anglers' Corner

Jimmy Mize
Lucy Mize
The old saying "The family that plays together, stays together" really applies to the Mize family. Not only do you find Mom and Dad, Lucy and Jimmy, on the professional tour, their children, Melinda and Matt also followed their steps and entered the cast for cash circuit.
There's an obvious question here. Have they competed against each other? Certainly. Although, you'd have to think it makes for "interesting" conversation at the dinner table!
Daughter Melinda, who I've mentioned before may be getting most of the press these days because of her marriage and National Guard Service but everyone has a mother and father and she even has a brother who can offer advice and stories about the tournament trail.

Melinda Mize
Matt Mize
What about Mom? Don't forget this Lucy! If being a wife and mother aren't time consuming enough Lucy has been named the Womens' Bass Fishing Association's top angler of the year and is generally leading the way for all women to enter into competition arenas with men.
2007 was the first year in tournament competition for Matt Mize. He's already got a couple of Top-50 finishes under his belt and finished in the money at a tournament. At this stage of the game, one can only surmise that there's a lot of fishing in his future. Considering his lineage, it will be interesting to watch as his career develops.

Here's a video of Melinda and her mom. I wish it was around the first time I wrote about Melinda.
Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!
