I have a question... Im going looking for some spotted bass tomorrow, if I catch a big Shoal bass what category do I enter it under? Surely they're allowed in the best 5 category, right? So therefore (if possible) how do I submit it?

Baro pressure, moon phase, water temp, photo period - What matters?

Brian breaks down the fishing myths around barometric pressure and moon phases, showing you why most of what you hear is just noise. He challenges the old-school ideas and reveals what truly affects bass behavior.Learn how to focus your energy on the essentials: where the fish are, what they eat, and what fits your skill set. Brian also dives deep into water temperature, explaining why numbers don’t tell the full story and why rising or falling temps matter more than exact degrees.Photo-period is the game changer—Brian explains how the length of day drives bass migration, feeding, and spawning more than anything else. He uses real-life examples from plants and fishing to prove why this is the key to reading bass behavior year-round.Stop wasting time on obstacles like pressure myths and moon phase guesses. Start looking for opportunities that help you catch more bass, no matter the conditions.

When you are breaking down a lake NEW OR OLD make sure you're using your energy on things that actually matter. This video gives you insight on things that will actually move the needle and help you catch more bass.

Weighbook only lets you take the picture in the moment instead of being able to submit later? Don't like that at all...smh. If the fish identifiers in the picture then why can't you take a few pictures and then submit them all later once you're done??? TourneyX and Fishing Chaos do it better IMHO. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

What is the Fall Transition?

Is the 'fall transition' bass anglers talk about actually a real, predictable event — or something we've all just repeated from old TV shows and magazine articles? Brian breaks down what's really driving fall fishing: shorter days (photoperiod) and cooling water temperatures combine to oxygenate more of the lake, letting bass and forage use far more of the water column than they could in summer.He explains why some lakes see a dramatic fall shift and others barely change at all — it comes down to geography, current, and which species you're targeting. Spotted bass and smallmouth on many southern reservoirs stay put on the same offshore structure nearly year-round, while largemouth and northern smallmouth near true ice-out lakes make a much bigger move.Brian also covers fall turnover and the thermocline breaking down, why dying grass and zooplankton-driven surface activity matter, and answers live audience questions on thermocline depth, dying weeds, and regional differences from Georgia to Lake Erie to California.

You have to listen to this class to be able to understand what fall fishing really is

Is it just me, or does anybody else get super nervous before a big tournament? 😂 I’ve had everything rigged up for a week now, and I still find myself second-guessing whether I have the right baits tied on and wondering if I should change something! Another championship tournament for me this week, and it’s definitely the most I’ve ever fished for. Needless to say, I’ve got a little bit of everything going on in my head right now! The nerves, the anxiety, the excitement, and probably a few other things I can’t even put into words. 😂BLat, or anybody else in the SUF fam, I could definitely use some words of encouragement, confidence, or even a few bait recommendations to consider before I hit the water! At the end of the day, I know I just need to trust what I know, fish my strengths, and let the chips fall where they may. But man, it’s hard not to overthink it when there’s this much on the line! 😂🎣Appreciate y’all! Tight lines, SUF fam! 🤙🏼

My brother and I managed to get 3rd in some nasty conditions. Unfortunately now fishing is paused caused the boat is in the shop for repairs due to the nasty conditions.
