Caught this one on a shakey yesterday!
One of my favorite lakes that I have been to. What lake do you think it is?
FYI, as a 2025 SUF School angler development selectee, I wanted to document my BFL journey this season through video. It's my first year moving from club tournaments to the BFL. Ken and I are fishing the Northeast division of the BFL, and I'm creating this series to share everything I learn or things I can share. They are mostly me just rambling, LOL
I just posted Episode 2, where I break down my tournament gear and boat setup.

Had the chance to hop in a local tourney today with my good friend. After a very epic day on the water, we emerged victorious with our bag weighin in at around 25lbs along with a Big Fish 👑. 8/6/6/3/2
Mack Toon and I were discussing the new Berkley Forward braid during a round table.
A lot of what I do is testing gear. Long story short, while the “Forward” model of the Berkley braid absolutely casts further than Daiwa J-Braid or PowerPro x8 with less effort… it has just too many weird negatives to continue to use after a month of thorough testing 5+ days a week. I’m restringing my spinners right now.
Save your money. I can’t recommend it in good conscience.
I did a workshop on fishing a Carolina rig this week!!!
A couple of fish; more importantly, I am not bundled up for winter. Spring may have sprung. :-)
Here's my PB Largemouth ... A present I gave myself on Christmas Day 2024.... Oconee River, Dublin, Georgia. On an old school texas rigged black & Blue worm... 24.25", 7.62lbs.. (should've weighed 8lbs, some people say)...
