Welp... Update time. When you fish points it pays off! My son caught 10 trout! I set the hook on a couple for him but he reeled them in. Actually hooked 12, but we let two kids that were fishing next to us catch them and keep them since they had not caught anything yet... The only thing better than getting paid to fish... Is getting paid to watch and help kids fish. He didn't place in the top three but had to be close. His two biggest were a 2.5 and 2.3 pounds. Anyone have any good trout recipes? Hahaha!

Recently we talked about nutrition in our round table and we dabbled a little into functional fitness for fishing. This is Christopher Waters training me to build core and strengthen my stability to eventually stand in a kayak. As a larger person standing in a kayak is challenging. Take notice to how much more stable Chris is compared to me. He has a stronger core and base. The goal is just that. I've also had knee issues since ever since. Watch the entire video to see two different movements we worked on. These workouts are helping me strengthen the muscles around knees to protect my knee cap. I'm also working on bringing my weight down (22 pounds down. Woot!) as this will also make a difference in both stability and health to fish longer in life. Thinking of doing another roundtable to get into this a little more.

Tournament day here at Lake Norman.

Level Performance Rods came yesterday. Very nice set of rods! Thank You Brian Latimer for the opportunity this year. I can’t wait to put these to good use.

I’m finally catching a few fish! It usually takes a day or 2 to start zoning in on the productive areas.

Safe fishing everyone!

I'll definitely be throwing this tomorrow at a new lake.

First and second open water fish of 2025! I will post the 3rd fish of 2025 and my new PB in another post. It feels good to have some sunshine.

When ya see a point.... You fish the point. Working the fishing rodeo... Trout and catfish are stockedand not fished all winter. Son better show out!

Recently someone mentioned they were a headhunter in one of our round tables. If that was you please reach out to me thank you.
