Do you think this is bass on the bottom eating the balls of shad? I fished it and only caught smaller white perch

I would love to spend a day on Lake Greenwood with you.

We’re doing a live class tonight at 8pm. Rescheduled in place of next week.

This weekend I fished with Dontrell Sullivan. He won the trip giveaway from the very first live we did a few weeks ago!

If someone was considering "going pro," How should they balance their time and energy between fishing, family, and other commitments?

What are some of the best tips or tricks that you have learned from other professional bass fishermen or mentors? Who were they?

The weather this week made me want to go river wading and kayaking! Still in the upper 70s and 80s here.

I was just wondering what you thought about online tournaments because you had started doing online tournaments. I also host online tournaments again with not great success and I was trying to get your perspective. But the other reason why I was reaching out to you is, I'm working on a project with Sean Dekle who's a part of the J19 Black Mythology Project in Atlanta Georgia coming this May of 2024. Sean told me that he had been communicating with you but did not really tell you much about the project. I was asked by Sean to reach out to you about this event. What this event consists of 5,000 kids coming to Atlanta Georgia for a 7-Day event during Memorial week. This is to help Young IndyE and future entrepreneurs to pair up with companies in the medical industry, financial, business industry, sports and much much more. My position in this as co-producer along with Sean in the sports section, we are bringing in young Anglers to participate in a fishing tournament and a week long of instructions and fishing techniques prior to the 2-day tournament. We have already contacted Ke' Mari Cooper who won the Bass pro shops amateur tournament that was held across the country also we're bringing in Ronnie Green from a Fishing Story. We're talking to 25 major universities and colleges to participate to help give scholarships to some of these young Anglers. We would love to have you as a part of this event to help nurture these young Anglers future careers in the sport of fishing. I would love to set up a conference call with you, myself and Sean about this event at your earliest convenience. The photo that I sent you is myself and you at the 2022 icast convention. Be safe and take care. Remember "Don't B' Wishin B' Fishin"!!
