I know it’s getting repetitive…but these smallmouth won’t quit!

Caught this one on a 1/2 oz structure jig with a Z-man Pro Crawz trailer.

Fish are definitely feeding up for fall💪🏽 fish was shy of 3 1/2 pounds and had an 8” shad in its gullet.

Same little creek but fishing for a different species had a good time this morning caught at least 15 of these little pan fish on these micro crank baits

Well I’am officially the NC Kayak Bass Fishing angler of the year for 2025.. I just wanted to say thank you Brian Latimer for everything you have done and help encouraging us to be better anglers.. I honestly didn’t bother checking standings because I did not expect this to be in the realm of expectations for me not this year or ever..After receiving the call from Chad Hoover congratulating me.It is mind blowing to know that little things like this is capable for someone in their late 30’s who grew up poor and was self taught.. If I can do this anyone can.. thanks to everyone in this app for helping make this come true and become a reality..

Did some practicing on a new lake for my club tournament this weekend. Best 5 went for 17 and change

First cast of the day yesterday. Then nothing after that, but it started with a bang. I think it's the biggest bass I've caught at 3.92 and around 21"

My rods have arrived!

Well that’s a wrap for the 2025 bass fishing tournament scene for me.. I managed to place 1st in 10 events, top 3 in 17 and top 10 in 11 just wanted to say thanks Blat for all the knowledge and the great app.. couldn’t of done it without you guys in the app..

Ended up coming in first out of 18 boats with 19.56 pounds and a 6 pound pounder for the kicker. Just wanna thank everybody for the round tables and the help these past couple weeks getting prepared for this tournament.

Another tournament in the books:

The big O met with our local club today and did not disappoint. She was a stingy, misbehaving, and outright difficult body of water to deal with. However some of us managed to have a great time and built on the bridge of confidence. Next week it’s a tournament on Kissimmee that will test to the next level. As Brian recently told me “you aren’t competing against the other anglers”… figure the rest out like I did. :)
