I spent my last day fishing in Florida fishing from the bank spent a lot of time thinking about the families impacted by the terrible accident. My heart goes out to them.
On a more positive note, here’s some pictures recapping my visit with my Florida people.

Makes for a Neutral evening - glad to get out there. I tried the hair jig. I was able to get two to come off the bottom but not commit.
First day back in the Everglades. Threw an SMH most of the day. Was an unusually slow bite today. Got a decent amount of Largemouth. Then I threw a Jerkbait on and landed this Gar. Measured with a marked stick at about 28”. Don’t even think about handling these. Nothing good can come from trying.
The Z man Fatty Z on a shakeyhead has caught me over 50 fish the last 2 tournaments.
I haven’t been using a ton of Zman products in the past but im a huge believer now. I’m picking up some of the SMH worms to give them a shot also.
Hope this helps someone.

Hey SUFam,
We are putting together a video to encourage Flint Davis during this tough time. If you would like to send an encouraging message, please text a short video to me at 5103877434. Last day to turn it in is Sunday evening.
Thank you!
16.74 for 3rd place today .
Post frontal conditions I tried to find The big large mouth but ended up finding some really nice spots so I stuck with that. My big fish was 4.38 and the shaky head was King. I got the rest of docs flipping a senko.
Well got another one off a bed today. This one I managed to capture on video.
A couple of skunked trips were shaking my confidence. Tonight, I got two smallies, I think the first ones of 2025.
