I am grateful to have found SUF, Brian Latimer, and Straight Up Fishing. The mentorship, friendships, and growth I experienced transformed my approach to tournament bass fishing and my involvement in the fishing community.

As Ken and I prepare to represent SUF, Z-Man, Level Rods, and others in the 2025 MLF BFL Northeast Division, I want to express my gratitude. Your guidance helped me turn overwhelming options into confidence on the water, finding my fish.

Here's to continuing the journey and enjoying the SUF experience of learning, sharing and growing.
