Highlights of 2025

- I got to fish in 6 different bodies of water that I had never fished.

- Broke my PB for Smallmouth Bass at 5.7 lbs

- Developed skill in Lake breakdowns and saw success. ( Thank you BLat)

- Becoming a next level specialist, more confident, more intentional and more calm to my fishing tournaments.

- Thankful for the support of the SUF family and the experience being provided.

Gotta see the last picture….

Solid day on Norman Practicing for a tournament this weekend

There are still some pretty cool people in this world. I got invited to fish in a private lake that some Tennessee anglers own. It’s a 100 acre lake that they say have some really nice fish in it. I’m kinda excited to see what we catch! Hopefully I will have some stories to tell you guys once we go.

Life is good…I made a compilation of my favorite catches of the year. It’s been a tough year off the water, and fishing has provided me with a tremendous source of escape and joy. This community has made me infinitely better at catching all of my target species, and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t wait to keep it rolling in 2026!! Merry Xmas and happy New Year…God is so good!!!

Caught em good on the Oconee river today.. and this combo on my chatterbait had them chomping great.. the chatterspike trailer stays on my chatterbait.(pictured)... Caught 6 or 7 on the chatterbait, and another 7 on the Texas rigged worm with a z-man blade stuck in the worms butt. (Pictured)
