I didn’t catch a Barde bass, but I did break the ice and finally weighed one in.
The wind blew ALL day this little vid is a poor reflection of how rough it was.

Let’s talk about bass management in ponds and lakes. I been managing a place for the last year and we are still taking out stunted bass this year. This stringer is from this morning.

If you have to many bass in a pond then all your forage fish get eaten.

A little math for every acre of water you should be taking out about 40 lbs of bass a year. This place I am managing is nearing 20 acres so we are removing 800 lbs of bass this year. We removed 600 lbs last year.

We are also starting a bream feeding program this year as well.

Hope this helps anglers manage their bodies of water to make more quality bass.

Let’s fire up the grease !

Do something other than fishing. Let’s go Capitals!!!

Level Performance Rods came yesterday. Very nice set of rods! Thank You Brian Latimer for the opportunity this year. I can’t wait to put these to good use.

Safe fishing everyone!

When ya see a point.... You fish the point. Working the fishing rodeo... Trout and catfish are stockedand not fished all winter. Son better show out!

Tournament day here at Lake Norman.

Recently we talked about nutrition in our round table and we dabbled a little into functional fitness for fishing. This is Christopher Waters training me to build core and strengthen my stability to eventually stand in a kayak. As a larger person standing in a kayak is challenging. Take notice to how much more stable Chris is compared to me. He has a stronger core and base. The goal is just that. I've also had knee issues since ever since. Watch the entire video to see two different movements we worked on. These workouts are helping me strengthen the muscles around knees to protect my knee cap. I'm also working on bringing my weight down (22 pounds down. Woot!) as this will also make a difference in both stability and health to fish longer in life. Thinking of doing another roundtable to get into this a little more.

Does anyone throw an Alabama Rig
