The Morning Bite
A Bass Fishing Devotional

Book Cover & Preview Text
Some of my best tournaments in my life were the ones I did something completely different than the rest of the anglers. I have let dock talk pull me in too many times which can lead you to do what everyone else is doing. Sometimes doing your preferred methods and strengths will lead to a ton more fishing success in the long run.
It’s not hard to find ourselves going with the flow of the world we live in. Sometimes it seems easier to conform and do what everyone else is doing. Many days in my testimony building years I found myself doing exactly that; conforming. The world tells you it’s ok to have just one sip or a relationship with that person or even just one look won’t hurt you. In all actuality every one of those things is drawing you further from the Truth. We must be able to identify whether they fall into God’s plan for our life or not. We are called to be set apart from the world. Live differently. Live transformed. How do we do that? Well, by the renewing of your mind. If you’re not spending time in the Bible, God’s Holy-Alive – and active- Word, you will be ill equipped to change. We will lack the connection to His voice, The Holy Sirit who convicts us and gives us power and a way out of the temptations we face daily.
Try breaking away from the pack today and live differently. The way God is calling you to live. Swim against the current!

About the Book
The Morning Bite is a devotional for men told through the eyes of three men in the bass fishing industry.
Blake Smith, James Niggemeyer, and Chris Wells share their stories as touring pros and as chaplains along the professional trails. Each author highlights some of their favorite verses and how they can be applied to life.
The authors reveal that some of their best tournaments involved doing something completely different than the rest of the anglers. When you listen to too much dock talk, it can be easy to do what everyone else is doing.
They observe that it’s easy to go with the flow of the world we live in, having just one sip, telling yourself one look won’t hurt, or having a relationship with that person. However, we must be able to identify whether these things fall into God’s plan for our life or not.
If you’re not spending time with the Bible, you will be ill equipped to change. The Holy Spirit will deliver you from temptation, so you can break free from the pack and live differently.
