A few other great pics from the retreat and our cookout, along with the beautiful sunrise and sunset on lake Russell. Such a great time and loved meeting everyone
There’s some workshops that dropped while we were on vacation last week. Some very relevant ones to the things you experienced at Lake Russell.
Starting to prep for my first tournament, looking back on previous way points and how I prepared…Such a big difference on what I look for now and how I prepare all thanks to SUF!
Here’s photos from the retreat. If you see yourself in any of these please download these and post to your social media and let people know what we’re doing!

Incredible few days at the Straight Up Fishing Championship at Lake Russell!
Did anyone fish the bridge this week? Brooks caught 3 megas out there.
Wow, what a great outing it has been. I had a blast fishing and it was really cool meeting some of you that are on the app! Got to talk to Gene Jensen, that was cool seeing what he had to say! Brian, it was great getting to talk a bit more with you in person, thank you to you and your crew for what you all do to put this thing together! Russell was awesome, I'd be down again with it!
So my pick for the 2025 SUF event is this one, my new PB I had talked about at the awards event. Got it on a Zman gill colored sling bladez. Love that bait. I got to weigh it, but had nothing to measure length 😞 and I need to work on my camera skills but 5 lbs 1 oz. was the weight. I've measured some 20s in the past and doing the ol eye ball guesstestimate, this fish was over 22in. Yup my fish story!! 😆. BIGGEST bass I ever cought! That was on Sat, believe me I tried to pick that area apart on tournament day two or three times, lol... anyhow.. What a great event!! And for me a much needed vacation ! ( I'll put a pick of my tornament day go to baits in here also. The top water bite was so fun, we don't get that up here till mid May, and it only last for a month or so when a buzz baits really effective)
