WHAT’S NEXT After such an incredible finish to the tournament season, Jones and his family and the usual crew continue their fun fishing—perhaps as practice for the next tournament season. The Cuttin’ Up crew has their eyes set on the next VBBT along with the White Marlin Open in Ocean City. “I have been blessed and fortunate to have this opportunity to do this with family and friends,” Jones says. “For the boys it has always been fun fishing—even in a tournament.” Recent upgrades to the 64 Viking include electric reels and custom rods. Nick and Travis want to ensure their dad can continue doing what he loves and enjoying this memorable time together as a family. “My boys told me from the first day I bought the boat that I would never have to clean it a single day of my life.“ Jones continues, “My boys take great care of our boats and they do not mind at all.” Jones concludes, “I am gonna do this ‘til I can’t do it any longer!” The Bluewater family is grateful to be by Jones’ side through all his adventures while helping to update and maintain his boats.
