Breaking in the custom made Barde Rod at Lake Russell during the retreat. First fish was a 17 1/2 spotted bass. Not bad, Thanks Barde.

Great SUF Retreat! Thanks Brian Latimer

Brian,

Thank you for a fantastic retreat and all the effort that went into pulling it all together. Loved every thing about the retreat, meeting great group of fisherman, the knowledge sharing amongst the SUF members, socializing, and just building a great group of new friends. We walk away with more knowledge and a stronger group. I personally stepped out of my comfort zone and resulted in gaining more confidence and experience (building the bridge). Loved getting to know my roomies the Dodson brothers!! Great conversations. Thank you Brian to you and everyone who helped in putting this together!

We have a champ!!!

Potholes changes so much when I go next I’ll take another round of pictures. Right now waters high so a lot of islands and stuff is covered they are starting to irrigate the crops so water will drop in a month the place will look so different. Something crazy out there too is the seagull mating season so many looks like snow or ice on the water.
