It looks more glorious than it was. I struggled all day on the Potomac River. I was in areas that showed bass and bait and weed but I could only get one of them to bite. It was a long day. Thanks Brian Latimer for sponsoring me in the first annual Angler Development Program on the boater side. After all 2025 Northern Division tournaments are complete, I am sitting in 18th in AOY. Should I go to regionals on the James River?

Jig on docks in weeds that helped get 3rd place in club tournament last weekend. I totally could have boat flipped but I lost 3 bass in a tournament once and only weighed 3 bass that day so I net em.

We wrapped up a week of fishing in the Potomac River. Thanks, Ken, for showing me around and sharing your fishing expertise. Here are some pictures of a few bass and a couple of snakeheads I caught. Despite my efforts and hours spent on the river, I still haven’t figured out the best ways to catch bass on the Potomac River.

My wife asked me this morning if I was going fishing after work and I said probably not. I get home from work a she says PUY IT IN GEAR LETS GO🤣 slid into the grass and caught my new PB 6.1 younder. Ended up with 8 bites 5 lost and 3 in the boat.

First ever bass caught on bladed jig. The Jackhammer

What kind of catch boards yall using? Need to look at better options that don’t break the bank.

Well.... I held on to 1st place in the biggest spotted bass category for 3 weeks, then a friend of mine knocked me into 2nd place the day before the Younder Classic ended.. I fished hard trying to win my spot back but just couldn't do it.. Guess it just wasn't my time.. so ended up in 2nd place, and 17th in the 5 biggest category. .. looks like I'll definitely be going to the championship next year..!! The last one, was the best weekend I've had in decades..!

On a happier note, I ran into another SUF student on the water yesterday...our friend Matthew Dennis..!!

I tried to end this Younder Classic with a BANG!! 3 in the boat but I lost more than I could count… Hey that’s fishing right 😩

I’ve learned so much since joining the SUF.

Thanks BLat and the SUF crew.

The Potomac didn’t go as good as I wish but atleast I’m back in tennessse catching small mouth
