Highlights of 2025
- Attended the SUF Spring retreat and got to meet BLat and the SUF family in person.
- Met Brian Barde in person and began a friendship fishing in the Northeast Division BFL ( thank you BLat!)
- Finished 38th overall in my very first year participating as co- angler in BFL

- I got to fish in 6 different bodies of water that I had never fished.
- Broke my PB for Smallmouth Bass at 5.7 lbs
- Developed skill in Lake breakdowns and saw success. ( Thank you BLat)
- Becoming a next level specialist, more confident, more intentional and more calm to my fishing tournaments.
- Caught the largest bass of the Club Classic tournament at the end of the year at 4.8 lbs and won $220.
- Thankful for the support of the SUF family and the experience being provided.

There are still some pretty cool people in this world. I got invited to fish in a private lake that some Tennessee anglers own. It’s a 100 acre lake that they say have some really nice fish in it. I’m kinda excited to see what we catch! Hopefully I will have some stories to tell you guys once we go.

Highlight of 2025
- one of my best results came from a smallmouth fishery. I don’t really like the ST Lawrence . I used to always do what you’re supposed to do there. This year I did it my way and had my second best finish of the whole season with a 14th.

2025! What a year it has been. I had some great times fishing with SUF family, and time fishing with my family. I got to fish some BFL tournaments, and one my favorite highlights was fishing with my brother at the SUF retreat and Toyota Bonus Bucks tournament on Guntersville. Did some saltwater fishing back in my ole stomping grounds. Went with my beautiful wife to Barbados. It was a good year overall.
Thank you to the SUF fam for being a constant source of positive encouragement and the support, I appreciate you.

First time winter bass fishing and I was trying to practice my cranking techniques and I got this to nibble at it but never take a full bite. I ended up catching it on a 1/4 oz jig. Does anybody have any tips to actually land a bass on crankbaits? I think my mechanics are right but the actual hook set is where I feel im wrong??

Another highlight of my year is riding my bike! I’m older and wiser so no crazy stuff, but I still like to run it when I get the chance. I even take it to the track to run it because the track is taken care of well. I have always loved bikes and cars. Fishing helps me to slow down and enjoy a different type of sport!
