I worked with Barb Elliott NY Conservation Director for BASS on a website to continue to get the word out about fizzing bass caught in deep water and suffering from barotrauma in your live well. Learn more about how to fizz your bass and get one of her kits. Check the site https://www.barbsbestfizzkit.com - Share this site in as many places as possible to help save the fish.

Hello everyone! I am excited to announce that I will create a limited number of custom SUF School 7'0" casting Medium-Heavy Fast rods. These rods are exceptional. Each rod blank is made from 45-ton Toray fiber, weighing just 2.45 ounces. They feature diamond-polished Zirconium Oxide guides with 5mm running guides and an exposed blank reel seat for extreme sensitivity. That all means they are a freaking great rod. It is currently my favorite versatile rod. I use it for jig, spinnerbait, chatterbait, and creature/worm. I won 3 tournaments this year using this rod 90% of the day.

These high-performance custom rods have an MSRP of $281 each. However, as a member of our community, you'll receive a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $225. Shipping will be an additional $36. With these custom rods, you'll get to choose the thread color of the bands, rod color, split grip material (cork or EVA), and marbling colors, making each rod truly one-of-a-kind. The marbling gives the rod a unique custom look, ensuring that no two rods will ever be identical.

While cheaper rods that work well are available, these high-performance blanks, customized to your preferences, create a performance fishing rod similar to Lew's Custom Pro rods but customized to you.

If you are interested, please message me - brian@kindlewoodoutdoors.com. If you'd like another rod built, please let me know the specifications.

I had an absolutely amazing tournament day on Lake Champlain!! My boat ran great. My homework, preparation, and taking advantage of opportunities on the day paid off with a 21.08 lb mixed bag of largemouth and smallmouth and a 1st place win. Thanks, Brian Latimer for SUFSchool over the past year.

What a great memorable day!

Champlain Smallmouth - My buddy put me on some good spots.

Dropped a neko rig through a bait ball and this was on the other side.

Boat and vehicle detailing topic: Do you detail your vehicles? What do you guys use to clean/detail your boat, truck, car, or vehicle?

Well that shortens your day in the weeds.😀

Happy 4th of July 🎆
