First Tournament in the Books!
Mack and I hit the Chickahominy River today for a local tournament with 16 boats. Mack was on fire, landing around 8 bass, while I put my netting skills to work assisting with his catches and brought in 3 of my own. The storm cut our day short, but we made the most of the 4-5 hours we had on the water!
What I learned:
✅ Slow down the retrieve.
✅ Get a limit first, then go for bigger fish.
✅ When that doesn’t work—go back to what does!
The Straight Up Fishing School is more than just learning techniques—it’s about building confidence, friendships, and growing as an angler. Mack drove hours to help me with my first tournament, sharing his knowledge on water clarity, lure selection, and even how to properly fish a Ned rig. That support gave me the confidence to jump in and compete.
A huge thank you to Brian Latimer for creating this incredible program and for his support through the SUF Sponsorship Program. His passion for the sport and dedication to helping anglers grow is what makes this community so special. Proud to be part of it—this is just the beginning!
