I like the spinning rod B Lat it’s has very good suspension 😁 I have yet to catch one on the 7’2 bait caster but when I do I’ll let you know know how I like it.

2025 RECAP:
This year I learned a lot. I stepped outside of my comfort zone a lot of times. I finally got those jitters and nervousness to calm, when driving to the ramp of a new lake. Thank you God for allowing me to progressed. I have been bass fishing for 5 years now and boating for two. I have become so much better at driving and positioning my boat this year. I’ve fished 9 tournaments this year and 4th place is my best. I’m coming for some checks next year, believe that!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

You guys want a great way to keep up with all your catches, and try to catch 2026 bass, any length, and win badges/stickers along the way, and a kayak cushion if you catch 2,026 of em? Just for $10..! Check out Marty Hughes/Kayakjack tournament..

Life is good…I made a compilation of my favorite catches of the year. It’s been a tough year off the water, and fishing has provided me with a tremendous source of escape and joy. This community has made me infinitely better at catching all of my target species, and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t wait to keep it rolling in 2026!! Merry Xmas and happy New Year…God is so good!!!

2025 was certainly a year of growth that I will look back on fondly!
•I got to meet one of the anglers I look up to the most
•I caught my first livescope fish on my buddy’s boat
•I got my first electronic for my kayak, it’s been an incredibly informative year learning side scan and down scan
•just last week I took my dad on his first ever fishing trip and had a blast teaching him the basics and spending time on the water
•I tried salt water fishing for the first time - I didn’t catch a single thing but had an amazing time nonetheless
•and I caught my first bass on a fly rod!
I’m looking forward to another year on the water and celebrating everyone’s victories! Happy holidays everyone!
