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!
Highlights of 2025
I really find it humbling when people come to weigh ins of my tournaments. Fishing isn’t the best spectator sport. So many of you travel hundreds of miles for a few minutes and I don’t take that for granted. Thank you!🙏🏾
Me and my son went bank fishing yesterday at a lake on a friends property. Really nice lake! We started off with spinner because that’s my norm. Not a single bite. Then we tried a Rapala minnow lure that the owner of the lake told us to try. Again, nothing. I decided to try the most natural thing I had in my bag, a speed worm junebug red. First cast a bass ate it on the drop! It seem that the bass did not want to chase! Once the worm got their attention we just let it sit for a minute before we moved it again. We caught 10 bass using that technique with the same worm. It was my sons first time bass fishing from the bank. He really enjoyed it! The weather was perfect and the fish did not disappoint. I will share a few video clips once I edit them down.
Happy winter solstice, happy shortest day of the year. we now begin the slow climb to longer warmer days. it won't be long now.........
Got my new Trash Panda Decals aluminum identifier card from Steve Billington....one of my team members on Festive Water Paddlesports fishing team. You guys should check out his website, he can design it any way you want it... it looks awesome!!
