If Randy Howell was more like other modern-day professional sports stars, he might tell you that returning to Guntersville, Ala., this week is really no big deal.
He might insist that the Diet Mtn Dew Bassmaster Elite at Lake Guntersville – site of his emotional victory in the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic – is just the next tournament on the schedule, and the past is in the past.
But a genuine guy like Howell won’t play that game.
He admits Guntersville is special to him – and always will be.
