B.Lat we got you some nocturnal bass🤣

These Kentucky Lake smallmouth are 🔥🔥🔥.

That Zman elastic is the ticket!! 10 fish on one plastic and it’s still good to use. Weeded through a lot of hybrids but caught a couple nice spots that’ll help me in the classic. Only had three hours to fish so there weren’t high expectations but those always seem to be the best days

This weekend was our last club tournament of the year. Today, I caught my largest bag of the year at 15lbs and 10oz. Yesterday, I caught no bass!

In the past, I would have been so dejected and probably would not show up the next day.

This year has been a huge confidence building season for me with realistic expectations. Some days, it ain’t happening! Sure, sometimes we could be more prepared and other times it’s just nature.

Yesterday, I found the good grass, good tide, good water clarity, birds diving after the bait. Caught stripers, catfish and white bass. No LMB!

Came back the next day, full of confidence gained this year through B.Lat’s angler development program. I completely changed my strategy and went to area that is conducive with my specialist skills. I went up the Occoquan River to bounce a crankbait off the rocks and boulders.

I am so thankful to have the wisdom to listen to B.Lat, support of the SUF family and blessed to have developed a friendship with my BFL partner, Brian Barde.

This is the actual text Barde sent to me on the day of the tournament.

“ Good luck have fun and get in the zone. You have everything you need to win it just let the ecosystem tell you how to do it.”

Barde also came down to the Potomac River BFL a day early this summer to be my boater for a club tournament. He was there when I won my first club tournament ever. Boom!

Trust the system. Crawl, walk and run. There are no shortcuts.

Caught a lot of fish today, here’s a few with a notable 6lbr. On a buzz bait again.

What up Fam! I would say I'm back! But I never went anywhere just have not been able to do much of anything since I moved to day shift at the first of the October. I haven't been able to fish much because of the other obligations and a sciatica injury. So I have been taking it easy. Caught this little guy in the Ocmulgee River off a bridge piling. BUT!!!! I FINALLY got to see the Atlantic Sturgeon that swim up river to spawn that John Wilson has talked about. They were some monsters! A passing fisherman also told me there was a 9ft sturgeon in the hole I was fishing. Had a 6 ft and 4 ft swimming right under my kayak. You can't tell from the photos but they are definitely big sturgeon.

I decided to switch up lakes today and go to Old Hickory Lake. Not bigs but I had a lot of fun cutting up with my wife and I even had senior that wanted me to fish his dock.

Biggun!
