Happy New Years to the SUF fam

So with the New Year approaching I want to encourage everyone to have a safe and happy night! DON'T SHOOT GUNS IN THE AIR!!! Shoot fireworks instead. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!! There are plenty of ride shares services that will be glad to assist you... Also please please please please WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!! No matter what vehicle you are in, if there is a seatbelt use it! I just worked a fatality last week with a side by side and the passenger was not wearing her seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle and crushed...

I love all y'all.... (AKA you's guys for the northern folks.) Happy New Year's eve!

2025-the love/hate relationship year. I loved how you treated me on the water. I hated how you treated me off the water. I'll always love that you're the year my babies (yes, you'll always be my babies) caught their first fish. I'll love that I caught both quality and quantity. You were better than years prior by far. 2026- let's work on that off-the-water stuff, but please keep being just as good to me on the water. Happy New Year, everybody 🎣🎉

News dropping about the 2026 spring fishing retreat!

Action required!!! 7pm tonight

Join the community roundtable at 7pm!

See you all in the roundtable in about 15 minutes! Don't forget to bring your goals!!

My boat trailer is a very important part of my fishing trips. Sometimes I travel 4-5 hours to get to where I want to fish. I plan on doing longer distances and more traveling in 2026. What are are some things that you guys do to your trailer to help make sure your trips are successful as far as traveling is concerned?

2025 Review:

This past year was a mixed bag of personal gains and losses. I’ve gone through both quite extensively. I’ve lost friends and family members. I’ve also gained friends, licenses and skills. At the end of it all I continue on my life mantra.

Life is a series of stumbles and getting back up. We walk l, we fall down and we get back up. The key isn’t in getting back up. The trick is to make a decision to keep moving forward and never go backwards.

I’ve gained quite a bit personally from the SUF community. Skills, training, and opportunities are second place to the actual friends and bonds I’ve been able to enjoy.

Here is my only picture for 2025. One last look at the sunset off my stern. Looking towards my bow for 2026.

Thank you all for just being YOU.

📣We have an EXCITING announcement to make this evening at the community roundtable. Friendly reminder the roundtable starts at 7PM EST. The link is pinned in the community section. I will also drop it in the comments below! Don't forget to be thinking about your goals for 2026. These can be both for fishing and personal! Brian Latimer will be joining us. Looking forward to ending 2025 with the SUFam!
