Thanks! I never had a great tournament but it ultimately boiled down to consistency, showing up, and catching some fish.

Two more tournaments in VT and NY and then a winter of catching up on video edits, social media posts, rod building, working and some sporadic fishing to try for another top 40 on the next SUF tournament. Then I need to get to work this winter. Next season is TBD. I will probably keep to the local tournaments unless I get lots of sponsors.

For me, I have a GoPro running at the back of the boat. When I lost fish I would go back and watch the video. I found that sometimes when they got off I noticed I was allowing the rod to straighten out either from me bending over and the rod no longer had a parabolic bend it it or The rod hit the windshield or other part of the boat which again allowed the rod to unload. Another thing I notice for me was I had the drag too tight and was horsing it, I basically pulled the hook out of his skin. Just a couple of things top of mind that I had to work on.

Oh Man, sorry to see that. Can you bend that fender out so that you can drive it?

I do not have a code and I purchased something from the BLat store. That code did not work.
