I'm not a cap=hat person.. but if Im gonna wear one, its gonna be one Blat sent me.!!

You wanna know where Shoal bass live..? You wanna see why I love river fishing so much?

Hey peoples! Been gone dealing with things... hope everyone is cool as the breeze... falls a comin, leaves are changing up this way, bass bite is still happening. Did a new lake today I've been wanting to scratch of the list. Chatterbaiting was the deal... I think I caught more of these pike hammer handles than bass, but I had a real good bass day to! It was fun, did my best five thing I enjoy doing in weight again. Even got a crappie on a squarebill! Big bass for the day was a 19 ish 3.2lb.er.

Had our “club classic” this past weekend. It is my first year tournament fishing and I’m fishing as a CO-Angler.

The lake we fish here in our state is highly pressured and to be honest I haven’t fished here since I was about 11 years old. It was a tough weekend. Guys in our club that are way better sticks then I am, fish that lake often caught goose eggs both days.

Long story short, I came in first with a whopping 6.75 lbs! 🎣🥇🏆💰

Picked this up at the pond at camp.

20.5” 5lb

Also had a 21.5” didn’t have scale that day

Sept 18, 2026, Don Pedro lake... out w my buddy Wayne who ks also teaching me bass fishinng. It was about mid day or so.. and we were hittinf the banks and i rememeber BLat talk abou the shadows off the bank... i dropped the Senko in the spot... and slow retrieve... it dropped depeer into the rocks... i saw a mouth drop behind it... i said ia that a fish?...... it was!!! Hooked my PB!! 4.34 lbs Spotted! Woohooo

I ordered the bait pop scents and they were delivered today. So, I had to go try them out. I caught the normal amount of fish that I’d expect to catch, but they just about swallowed the whole spinnerbait. Last year this time, I also had a large bass on and it came off next to the boat, been trying to fish this same dock since and haven’t gotten a bite on the dock in a year. Went there today and as soon as I started reeling a 4lb 10oz hit it and just about swallowed the whole thing. Next time I’m going to take pictures of them choking it. I’ve never used scent before just thought it was a gimmick to get us to buy something. Day one test for me, great!

We do recover from addiction. 4 years ago I never dreamed I could become the man that I am today..

What a week...!! Amongst probably 100 more smaller bass.. I won my 3rd angler award in less than 1 week..! Yesterday I caught this 20.25", 4.32lb shoal bass for my 3rd award, and a 20.25", 3.97lb largemouth too..!

Of all places to find my first smallmouth, a canal in the middle of the Yuma, AZ desert!
