Well since BLat went to the trouble of adding SM to the King of the Ring, I’d decided to go out SM fishing this evening. Caught this 21” smallie on a ned using Brian Barde sick stick replica.

Oh yeah to my fellow hefty family... The SUF sun shirts are in the store in a 3X now. Don't know how many they have left. But I had to size up to help cover my gut, I mean gun, better. Hahaha!

Do you use a fidget spinner to stay busy??? Nope I use a Zman Finesse Worm. (PS this is a spare car, mine is not this nasty. LoL)

Y’all catch em up this week. I’m going to go have fruity drinks and try not getting sun burned. When I get back I’ll be running up King of the Ring leader board.

Wow!!! Im honored to be apart of the development program! Getting off work and was checking in on the app and what do you know... Thank you! Never would I have imagined that sharing my passion for fishing would allow me to connect with so many wonderful people.

These are our 3 new Angler development program guys!

Will Davis

Caleb Kelly

Kevin Skovenski

These 3 guys will rep the app in their fishing adventures the next 3 months. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I see we have an upcoming live about hook selection. But until that comes about I have a question.

When flipping & punching with worms... Should I stick with traditional worm hooks, Ewg, or flipping hooks. Or is there another hook better suited?

Finally I can say I’ve passed the USCG OUPV course today. This is a 50 Ton Captains license which will allow me to legally run a Charter (bass guide) business and opens up other opportunities. I’ll probably go for Master in the future.With the vast amount of information required to pass, as time consuming as it was, I can say that the extreme volume of info is priceless as a boater of all levels. #DoingThingsWithIntention

For those who asked in the roundtable, I did a podcast on men’s mental health and a bit of my journey through life. A podcast about the angler behind the fishing. Have a great day.

Thanks for listening if you can 🙏🏽

Thought this was interesting. Received a local fishing newsletter from Lake of the Woods Ontario, a place we go every year to fish for a week. Late June, Smallmouth are in between Pre-Spawn and Bedding. If anyone wants a trip of a lifetime with all world class freshwater species, I’d highly recommend Lake of the Woods.
