Just a quick observation after looking through the King of the Ring tournament entries…

First off—some seriously impressive fish! Huge shoutout to everyone out there grinding and getting after it.

That said, I couldn’t help but notice quite a few entries that, if judged strictly by the rules, would’ve faced some serious deductions—open mouths, bad hand placement, poor measuring angles, stretched tails, you name it.

This isn’t about calling anyone out personally, it’s about keeping things fair and consistent across the board.

Might be time for a refresher class or quick tutorial on proper fish measurement. Let’s make sure everyone’s on the same page moving forward. A lot of great catches are at risk of being questioned—or worse, disqualified—because of things that are easily avoidable.

Let’s raise the bar, not the drama. 🎣💪

I’ve been catching largemouth today on the st. Lawrence . I just felt like doing it.

I was just out there minding my business dragging a jig and this happened, watch the rod tip.

An we start this back again?

I caught my first smallmouth of the year today!

See y’all tonight on live!!!

Found a 20+ finally. Tournament day featured storms rolling through all day and several missed fish. I didn’t fish well but two tournaments remain and I need some points! Beech River Watershed lakes. They are all between 200-500 acres. Time to do some planning.

Dragging the good ol Carolina rig on a hump and found a solid 1

If you were in Mack’s “how not to lose your leaderboard” class, you might remember him mentioning weather stripping. I didn’t listen. Now my board with custom tag is living its best life as underwater décor somewhere in Newport News, VA. Highly recommend securing yours… unless you want the fish judging your bass!
