Happy Birthday Blat..!!!
December 18
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!

Celebrated my final treatment on Monday by hitting the water today. Got 14 LMB and this Fatty Tilapia that came in 3 1/3 LB. Threw my typical Jerkbait and SMH all day.

Thought of Tron and caught 8 or 9 of these in 35 foot of water this Friday. I was fishing a natural sinkhole to test a new rod and reel combo for deep water. Super clear water and using the Doodle method, but with a heavier jig head and minnow. I didn’t upsize the bait on purpose but FFS showed the window of opportunity and I decided to try the method anyway. I consider myself lucky to be in a climate and the SUF community where we can try new things all year long. #makeeverycastcount

Tried a new technique today with the Damiki Vault blade bait in 20 feet of water. Caught one but I think I learned something. Looking forward to trying it again.
Happy Thanksgiving SUF Family!
