I am proud of the progress I made in 2023 and 2024. With the help of SUF School, I was able to achieve AOY. We had our awards brunch today.

The break-in period is complete! 3 hours of driving the Suzuki 250SS in figure 8's on a 250-acre pond (The water is still spinning in circles), 1-day post ice out in 45-degree weather with 10-15 MPH wind, and a couple of Largemouth bass later, the Falcon F215 is officially SUF-ready! 🚤🥶🥶🥶
I am excited to head to the SUF fishing retreat, Seminar, and Championship at Lake Russell. I hope the South Carolina weather brings the warmth we've been missing up north!

I am grateful to have found SUF, Brian Latimer, and Straight Up Fishing. The mentorship, friendships, and growth I experienced transformed my approach to tournament bass fishing and my involvement in the fishing community.
As Ken and I prepare to represent SUF, Z-Man, Level Rods, and others in the 2025 MLF BFL Northeast Division, I want to express my gratitude. Your guidance helped me turn overwhelming options into confidence on the water, finding my fish.
Here's to continuing the journey and enjoying the SUF experience of learning, sharing and growing.
