I signed up for another year with that deal, too. I appreciate how Straight Up Fishing School has supported my growth this year. I look forward to continuing that momentum.

I am deeply offended by this photo. 🤪

One of our lakes now has the first skim ice. :-(

Tim Dodson - Yes, I have built a few. I can craft whatever you want, and I love the 7' MH Fast that I built for Brian Latimer and Craig Hayward. It is a tremendous all-around casting rod, suitable for spinnerbaits, jigs, creatures, chatterbaits, etc. I won all of my tournaments this year mainly with that rod. I also built several other rods, such as a nice crankbait rod. Do you want a technique-specific rod?

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 like Adam Grant. Originals and Think Again are good by him. I have Hidden Potential in my Library and will have to listen to it this week. Those gems that you can reread are the best. Atomic Habits by James Clear is great.
