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.

Final two nights of the Younder Classic and the Kindlewood Cares tournament and this 5 pounder shows up at the end of my rod. Was checking out a place nicknamed Jurassic Park in Central/ South Florida. 9 miles down a bumpy dirt road type of deal.

Brian.... Thanks for giving me some confidence to try throwing a jig again.. Before today, I've only caught 1 bass on a jig... I watched your video on jigs, put it into play on the Ocmulgee river today and slayed a few Shoal bass, and spotted bass...... !!

Caught 24 bass and played with a gator on the Oconee river, Milledgeville, Ga. yesterday... Caught 3 on a popping frog I found hanging in a tree 2 weeks ago, 5 or 6 on a 6th sense big swimbait I also found in the same tree...lol, and the rest on a green pumpkin w/gold flakes senko wacky rigged.. all were good size too...
Also, looks like I'm still in 1st place in the spotted bass category in our Younder Classic, with only a day left in the tournament....!!

Had a fun day today fishing in our club tournament on Saratoga Lake. I have not fished there in about a year. Ended up getting third. I was junk fishing with a 3/8 Jewel Bait jig with Berkley Chigger Craw using my 7' MH Fast rod on docks, weeds, and lily pads. Used ZMan 1/2 oz Blue gill spinner bait with slim Keitech green pumpkin paddle tail for a couple of undersized ones and a couple of pickerel. I was also fishing with a senko on the docks and caught one. I caught most of them very shallow. I had two good ones on, and I horsed them too much; they may have gotten me into 2nd or 1st. It is actually nice to turn off FFS and just focus on the visual stuff.
