I thought I’d share my new boat that I’m about to go pick up in Tennessee

Fall Fishing tour continued: After meeting up with Tim Dodson on his home lake, we had another surprise visit on our way to Pennsylvania. We also got to spend time with Mack Toon in one of his hidey holes. He came aboard the vessel for a day of fun fishing. We had a great day laughing, teaching and just being three guys in a boat with knowledge and tackle. Fish were caught, landscaping was done, stumps were bumped and a hundred types of baits were thrown. We fished until the sun went down. Thanks to Mack for spending the day!

Welp! Don’t make the same mistake I did🤣 my friends and I have a “too dumb moment” chat and this was mine - not thinking, staying up late cleaning my boat and organizing tackle, I wrote the REGISTRATION CODE instead of the tournament ID last weekend. And go figure, they were CHEWING. Had, I think 104 or 105” and it was all for not🥲 haha. It’s all good! Back at it again this weekend hopefully

Just got the new Level rods in! 7’3” heavy rated up to 3/4 oz. To replace my current frogging rod. I’ll update this after tomorrow or Sunday. Fall classic starts so I’ll be on the water!
Looks - 10/10!
Feel - 8.5/10 - balances really well, but just ever so slightly tip heavy (in my opinion)
Rod action - 8/10 definitely going to be great for frogs and up to 3/8 oz flipping and in tighter areas. Which is exactly what I wanted
Price - 10/10 - I’ve always found that rods in the $150-$300 range are the best. And this fits the bill
This is just from opening the package and holding it and making a couple casts in the back yard

Closed out my 2025 in-person tournament season with a 2nd place finish and lunker (3lb 9oz) at the Greylock Bass Championship!
Tough day on the Mohawk River - only 9 bites all day, but the drop shot finesse game came through when it mattered. Trusted my practice and stayed committed to the plan.
What a season it's been. Thanks Brian Latimer for sponsoring my BFL debut. I wrapped up the in-perosn season with a 2nd place fishing today, every tournament taught me something new. Grateful for the SUF School mentorship, community and everything I've learned this year.
Time to recharge and get ready for what comes next!

Yesterday I accidentally trespassed on someone’s pond. I met the owner he said that he just moved in and he actually gave me permission to fish there. He also asked me to take out any fish I catch under a pound in a half. Caught about 12 LM on a popper.
So yesterday I fillet and fried a fish for the first time. (Don’t hate me)

Swipe ➡️Having the best time at our first community retreat. Tons of fishing, food and making new memories! Also, I keep asking the bass boats to race and no one the smoke.

I had 8 good bites today…that is a great day for bass on Tims Ford for me. Thanks to Brian and the community for the definition of a “good day”! Brim color Zman Evo on docks off the main lake!

Who can do a video of how to take photos and submit pictures to fishing chaos app?
