Linda, the largemouth, and Sally, the smallmouth from this evenings trip.

B.A.S.S. no longer requires entry fee! This is huge!

Well SUF fam, I can finally quote our great professor Phd. Brian Latimer ... "Thems like the ones I catch !!!".... Small shad like soft plastics did the trick for me on Saturday!!! I was able to get out to a lake the day before it shuts down for public fishing. It's only my third time fishing the lake. Caught this 20.5 in/ 3.5 lb Spot .... from the deep side of the boat. I don't know the exact depth since I don't use electronics...
Caught him on a 3\16 oz Texas Eye jig head (love those jig heads) with a 4" Pearl Blue Glimmer Diesel Minnow. Definitely a one of a kind fish had a lot of character and scars. The lip was actually partially pulled off... #olsnatchandgrab #javorslucaslake #fromthedeepsideoftheboat

Sunday solo derby..

North Texas lake still in the mid 70s. Has already gone through the turn over about 2 wks ago which was late for us. All fish were caught up shallow against rip rap leading into a marina. Avg depth of catch was 5ish ft. I was alternating between a 1.5 square bill, chartreuse with blk back and a PBJ 3/8 ball head jig. The square bill was worked parallel to the rip rap or coming off at a shallow angle. The jig was fliped in holes in the rip rap and hopped slowly back to the boat... Only down side was losing a blade in the prop 😔.. Hope this helps with your next adventure.

2nd ever buzz bait fish

Fished my local reservoir, crazy 80 degrees today in Virginia. Water temperature was 65 with water clarity 12 inches. Caught one bass on a spinnerbait early but they didn’t seem to be chasing bait. Found a rocky ledge in 20 feet and caught 4 bass on a free rig with black/blue craw. Good day and no tricks for Halloween 🎃.

So this is the same day and location. My son is still trying to communicate while.i photograph... At or around the 8 second mark you hear the same breathy voice saying what believe to be... "He's alive". What do y'all think?

How do you guys calm yourself for tournaments? Like how do you keep your focus when it’s 11:00 and you don’t have a fish in the boat. Do you stick with the plan you have laid out for yourself? I always get flustered and wind up going out in left field then on the way home I’m kicking myself for not sticking to my plan. So I guess I’m asking how do you keep your composure?
