Here I am building out Kevin’s rod while consuming some SUF School. :-) https://youtube.com/shorts/YO3c6wgI4hw?feature=share

SUF Family! 

I am thrilled to support Brian's Angler Development Program! As an SUF member and rod designer at BardeRodz, I will provide a precision-engineered Workhorse or Slick Stick rod (winner's choice) to both the selected boater and co-angler for the MLF Phoenix BFL tournaments.

I am also applying for the boater position (fingers crossed! 🤞). If I am selected 🤞, my rod will be raffled off to another SUF member!

Each rod features premium components and comes with a one-year warranty. Good luck to all applicants! This community is fantastic!

https://www.wired2fish.com/news/b-a-s-s-shutters-bassmaster-opens-co-angler-program - BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The longstanding co-angler program within the Bassmaster Opens has been eliminated for the 2025 season, B.A.S.S. announced today. Due to multiple reasons, including fairness to the field of boaters and reduced interest since COVID, the program has been shuttered. - https://www.bassmaster.com/opens/news/b-a-s-s-shutters-bassmaster-opens-co-angler-program/

My boat is jealous of all the other boats that are able to get out on the water.

Brian Latimer  - I would love to be considered for the BFL sponsorship program as a boater. I've loved being part of the SUF School family since almost day one, and the transformation in my tournament fishing has been incredible. Thank You! I consistently finished second to last or middle of the pack in club tournaments when I started. Through SUF School's guidance and countless hours of learning, I started climbing the ranks, winning tournaments, and earning Angler of the Year. What a memorable year! THANKS!

One thing that drives me is embracing the rookie mindset - being uncomfortable leads to growth. That's exactly what I did with tournament fishing, and it's what I want to do with BFLs. I'm ready to carry this 2024 momentum into 2025 while helping others grow by promoting SUF school and bringing my BFL experience back to the community.

Whether sponsored or not, I'll represent SUF in the BFLs Northern Division, and I'd love the opportunity to do it officially. I want to compete and give back to the SUF family, which has transformed my fishing journey. Let me know how I can help expand SUF's impact and help more anglers develop their skills on the water. I'm all in!

Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate what we've built here at SUF School. Thecommunity and live sessions have become something to look forward to - where we can learn, laugh, and actually have real conversations about fishing. Shoutout to all the members who take time to share their knowledge and answer questions in the community section. We embody what 'Positive Vibes' feel like.

What makes SUF different is how everyone here genuinely wants to help each other improve. No ego, no trolling - just anglers helping anglers get better at what we love. Like BLat said in one of the live sessions, we're raising all ships together.

Just feeling grateful to be part of a fishing community that keeps it straight up while lifting each other up. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Are any co-anglers planning to fish the BFL Northern Division tournaments who would like to link with me? I am considering signing up for the entire Northern Division schedule. https://majorleaguefishing.com/circuits/bfl/schedule/?y=2025&d=9

That first blanket of snow hits different when you're a bass fisherman - it's nature's way of saying it's time to stow the boat and start building some rods, building a new rod building station, reel maintenance and organizing tackle. Happy Thanksgiving to all the community members!!

I was able to get out this afternoon and found them most likely on their winter structure up here in the NE - a bit deeper - water temp 44ish.
