🚨PB! Catching this giant in a tournament was a moment I will never forget. Caught a nice one early on a chatterbait, saw this guy stir up the water and finally got em with the SMH worm. Missed 1st place by 1 inch and I’m really wishing I had a better 3rd fish, but incredibly thankful for a great weekend of fishing.

Had a surprise today, through the chatter out and snagged some what I believe is about 20 yds of tip up line someone either cut or broke off, started pulling and this was on the end of it! I thought it had alittle life left in it, but have know idea how long it was there for. Caught one real nice 3.8lbs bass along with some others and one more pike.. Fun day, good to be out... Everyone have a happy Easter weekend!

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.

Was able to get out with one of my buddy’s son today. In a 20 boat field, 11 skunks made an appearance on the board. We were fortunate to finish 5th. Youth really know how to keep you in a positive mindset when on the water!

Sorry I’ve been playing hookie from class! Happy Easter all!

Made a change to a lighter weight and immediately started getting bites flipping lay downs.

With everything that has happened there’s so many things happening quickly. All we can do and should do is show love and empathy to all that’s involved. This is a part of life I’ve worked on. Empathy has never been a strong point for me so this is a opportunity to show up for myself and others by being emphatic.

Thanks to all for being patient with us.

Well got another one off a bed today. This one I managed to capture on video.

Do any of my fellow Raleigh area anglers know if the what stage the spawn is in the surrounding lakes?
