Davy Hite hasn't been a regular competitor on the FLW Tour since 2003, but the veteran Bassmaster Elite Series pro is considering a two-circuit schedule for 2014. He badly wants to make next year's Forrest Wood Cup at his home lake (Murray).
"I still haven't made up my mind on it," he said. "I talked to (FLW tournament director) Bill Taylor last week and he was real positive about it and seemed very excited.
"It's just a really tough decisions because (there'd be so many tournaments) back to back. I don't want to overload myself and put too much on my plate. I've got one deal I'm working on with a potential sponsor, and how that comes out could sway me one way or the other. Within 2 weeks, max, I'll know."
He won the 1998 Cup (then called the FLW Championship) at the Mississippi River. He qualified for that event despite skipping that year's season opener at Lake Toho.
"Back then you could get in by either pounds or points, and we went to enough good fisheries and I was able to do well enough at those to qualify. Then they changed that rule the year after that.
"I understood why they did it. I didn't make those rules, I was just playing by them."
