How big is that small Lowrance? I want to replace a 5 inch hummingbird in my dash with Lowrance.

I think I ā€œneedā€ that power pole charge and some good left handed casting reels. I know itā€™s backwards. Maybe I should get a couple of right handed ones to get right. ;-)

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.

I have seen people leave tournaments because they were not catching them. I donā€™t like that. Why not keep fishing? Go to the weigh in and support others. Learn from all experiences not just the good ones. Enjoy the day. Thoughts?

Comment below - what are your thoughts on leaving a tournament early because fish are not being caught?

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.

20+ inchers are tough to find and tougher to catch. The thrill of the next hookset is what keeps me going.

I found a great video with Barb Elliott Conservation Director at BASS about fizzing deep water fish. I also bought 2 of her kits. I am working with her to get more of these kits and training into the hands of more fishermen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jUCbhXGsTA

My takeaway - Mental grit, Consistency (keep showing up), Learn - I love the debrief!!
