I do love Rick Clunn and his deep thinking/understanding of bass fishing and life like Blat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuUseOaHSeI

What a Memorial Day weekend! 🥵

Saturday: Suzuki maintenance (Oil change and lower unit oil), built two rods, sold some BardeRodz premium sleeves (way better than those old mesh ones!)

Sunday: Family car repair day - backup camera install, Apple Car Play, 4 new speakers, 2 brake jobs, 2 wheel bearings, and a few other odds and ends. Even fixed the mother-in-law's O2 sensor 😅. Then, being a Safety boat while my son rowed his scull, I managed to catch 3 pickerel, 1 bass, and a rock bass in 2 hours while keeping a watchful eye on him!

Monday the boys and I had quite the wildlife encounter... this goose nearly became our boat passenger at 40 mph! https://youtu.be/OjwxUyH7DD0

Now I'm so exhausted from this "relaxing" weekend, I went back to work to recover!

As a veteran, I am grateful for those who didn't return - their sacrifice makes weekends like this possible.

Hope everyone had a great one!
