I think my wife may have stumbled on to the most torturous experience she could possibly expose me to. I am right now driving to go spend the day with the Inlaw extended family at a lake house on Lake Gaston and no fishing poles no fishing boat no fishing allowed. I may need therapy after this.
What gear ratio spinning reel is good to use for fineness fishing
Got out on the water today and happened to get into some nice hybrids using the ol "Alabama Slamma" aka A-Rig. I added the livescope recording of the catch so you can see how they were just hovering right off the bottom... Enjoy!
Dang it y’all. I saw this birthday deal 2 hours ago and I had to wait and get myself straightened out before I posted this. Seriously thank y’all so much. I’m definitely loved and that’s one thing I will never be able to deny.
https://www.wired2fish.com/news/b-a-s-s-shutters-bassmaster-opens-co-angler-program - BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The longstanding co-angler program within the Bassmaster Opens has been eliminated for the 2025 season, B.A.S.S. announced today. Due to multiple reasons, including fairness to the field of boaters and reduced interest since COVID, the program has been shuttered. - https://www.bassmaster.com/opens/news/b-a-s-s-shutters-bassmaster-opens-co-angler-program/
Just wanted to introduce my self, my names Bryce I’m from the PNW area and pretty stoked I found out about SUF. I’m excited to get to meet people with the same passion and drive for fishing and get to keep adding knowledge to my arsenal. Never stop learning and getting better.

My boat is jealous of all the other boats that are able to get out on the water.
Brian Latimer - I would love to be considered for the BFL sponsorship program as a boater. I've loved being part of the SUF School family since almost day one, and the transformation in my tournament fishing has been incredible. Thank You! I consistently finished second to last or middle of the pack in club tournaments when I started. Through SUF School's guidance and countless hours of learning, I started climbing the ranks, winning tournaments, and earning Angler of the Year. What a memorable year! THANKS!
One thing that drives me is embracing the rookie mindset - being uncomfortable leads to growth. That's exactly what I did with tournament fishing, and it's what I want to do with BFLs. I'm ready to carry this 2024 momentum into 2025 while helping others grow by promoting SUF school and bringing my BFL experience back to the community.
Whether sponsored or not, I'll represent SUF in the BFLs Northern Division, and I'd love the opportunity to do it officially. I want to compete and give back to the SUF family, which has transformed my fishing journey. Let me know how I can help expand SUF's impact and help more anglers develop their skills on the water. I'm all in!
Why should you sponsor me for the BFL? After serving 23 years in the Army, I retired in 2019 and often struggled to fill that void. When I’m on the water fishing, all that disappears. It’s like a switch flips—suddenly, everything feels normal again, and all the noise fades away. Bass fishing has become not only my passion but also a means of personal healing and growth. The focus, patience, and discipline it requires mirrors the values I honed during my military service. With a commitment to hard work, continuous improvement, and representing my sponsors with integrity, I’m dedicated to excelling both as an angler or a co-angler in the BFL if chosen. Partnering with Brian Latimer’s Straight Up Fishing School would be a perfect fit, as I share the same determination, resilience, and love for the sport. My drive to succeed on the water would help bring visibility to your brand, creating a meaningful, long-term relationship both on and off the water.
