Took 2nd place in Greg Blanchard's January monthlong nationwide tournament..! And won Big Bass award with a 22.75" largemouth..!!
We got a break!! It's in the teens today people.. Suns out, blue bird sky's, and the ice is safe to drive on after a week and a half of negative temps and the windchill has been something else. Burrrr!!! My cousin, a friend of his and myself got into some really nice gills today, we kept 17. Some of these gills where so thick, they must be eating alright! (second picture) Got one small bass on a tip down, that was cool. First bass I've seen in person I think since the beginning of this last Nov. maybe? All made for a realy nice day in my book, fun stuff!
I'm featured in USA Kayak Fishing Magazine.. It's awesome that Roy Widgon put my story out there for the whole world to see..!

🤩Our girl Kylee Short placed 2nd today in her B.A.S.S. Nation Seminole Kayak tournament! Absolute hammah 🔨🔨🔨 We're proud of you!!!
A few more nice ones from Lake Sinclair....
I know everybody knows that I'm a river guy.... but my favorite boatramp is closed right now for construction work/improving the ramp and parking lot.. so, for now I've been having great luck on my home lake..
Hi everyone!! Just joined the app and wanted to introduce myself. I’m Kylee and I live in Orlando, FL. I started fishing about 3 years ago and haven’t been able to keep myself away from the water since. I still do a lot of bank fishing but fish a lot of Kayak tournaments as well. Most of my fishing journey is documented on my socials (@baitbarbiefishing) so I’m lucky to know some of you already from other platforms, but really looking forward to connecting with this entire community. Glad to be here 😊
(Shameless pic of a 6lber I caught last month 😆)
Moved into the top 10 out of 174 kayak anglers in the Marty Hughes "Kayakjack" tournament with the fish I caught today...
22.75" out of Lake Sinclair today... skipped a Tactical Fishing "swaggerstick" worn under a dock and there he was.. actually caught several big ones today...
I'm proud to announce that I'm now on the Pro Staff at Trash Panda Decals...
They make some awesome aluminum identifier card for your ketchboard. You can design it, add whatever background you want, add your sponsors, Steve Billington does some awesome work..... check them out at www.trashpandadecals.com
Finally... got a break from the hustle and said screw it.... time to get out and forget everything else! First fish of 2026!! 🎆 only caught two but it felt good 👍. Good eating size though.
