Fished a local open tournament this weekend and let's just say it was a struggle for 50% of the teams. Only fish we caught was this brute! this got me to thinking, we have a side pot for big bass but why do we not change that to a side pot for biggest "non bass". I think it would at least bring so humor in these open style weekend tournaments. what are your thoughts?

Who else had their water temps jump this weekend? My local puddle's water temp went from 45° Tuesday morning to 54° this morning. Also the bite turned on and the bass moved up super shallow. Burning a lip less in 2ft of water parallel with the remaining weedlines was getting smoked.

Out and about today fish were very lethargic.. had to down size from a 10 inch glide to a Ned rig.. sometimes the fish want what they want..

Well lake Hartwell kicked my but! I got one fish maybe 2 1/2 3 lbs on a SMH worm to the boat and I reached down and almost got my hand to him and the line popped.{I’ll be changing all my line today) Had a young boater that was a very good respectful young man. We were scoping all day. But I’m not using that for an excuse we got close to a few docks which is where I lost the only bite I got. I just didn’t execute! At the end of the day the Lord gave us a gorgeous day and I had a great time trying!! I will learn how to catch fish deep without any electronics of it kills me lol and I will learn to make my opportunities count! Some how still 34 in points and Sante Cooper is in 3 weeks so I’ll be researching it and try to be ready to get the job done there.

Sat down with my wife today to map out the tournament season and wow - 14 events from March to October across multiple states! Looking at it all laid out really put things in perspective.
But here's what got me – this season begins the anniversary of my father's death and wraps up the day before his birthday. It wasn't planned this way, but somehow feels meaningful. Now, it's about competing and representing SUF and BLat – but it's also about making the old man proud.
I can't wait to put in the work, break down these lakes, and make every cast count and share it with you. – let's make this season count.
