Closed out my 2025 in-person tournament season with a 2nd place finish and lunker (3lb 9oz) at the Greylock Bass Championship!

Tough day on the Mohawk River - only 9 bites all day, but the drop shot finesse game came through when it mattered. Trusted my practice and stayed committed to the plan.

What a season it's been. Thanks Brian Latimer for sponsoring my BFL debut. I wrapped up the in-perosn season with a 2nd place fishing today, every tournament taught me something new. Grateful for the SUF School mentorship, community and everything I've learned this year.

Time to recharge and get ready for what comes next!

I am running another tournament benefiting my non-profit raising money for The Jimmy Fund. My Dad passed away from cancer and he wanted to make sure kids had every chance possible to not deal with cancer so I am going to carry on with raising a little bit here and there in his memory. This year we have raised and donated over $1000 between tournaments and custom rod raffles. If you want to join it is here - https://share.fishingchaos.com/tournament/afdlOMf6lBLZZHZ1zLoF

I fished a two day two lake team tournament, one lake each day. Each team or individual was allowed 5 bass each day. We did not place and we got lunker for the first day. Look at those mega bags brought to the scale each day!!!!!!

Today, I didn’t perform as well as I had hoped, but I did give a shoutout to our Straight Up Fishing school and Brian Latimer as I walked across the stage with my little bass. Overall, it was an incredible year of learning. I managed to catch at least one or more fish in every tournament. Although I had hoped for a better year, in retrospect, it was truly amazing to fish in all these new bodies of water, facing off against 80 to 120 other anglers and ended up in 18th Place in points for the northeast division. Thank you all for supporting Ken and I. I appreciate Brian Latimer and this community.

First day of Regionals. Day two tomorrow. It was my second day on the James River. I hope to figure something more out tomorrow. Last BFL of the year for me.

It looks more glorious than it was. I struggled all day on the Potomac River. I was in areas that showed bass and bait and weed but I could only get one of them to bite. It was a long day. Thanks Brian Latimer for sponsoring me in the first annual Angler Development Program on the boater side. After all 2025 Northern Division tournaments are complete, I am sitting in 18th in AOY. Should I go to regionals on the James River?

Jig on docks in weeds that helped get 3rd place in club tournament last weekend. I totally could have boat flipped but I lost 3 bass in a tournament once and only weighed 3 bass that day so I net em.
