Nathan Sipes, Thanks, man! This year has been absolutely incredible. The timing of finding SUFSchool matched perfectly with my drive to learn everything I could about tournament fishing. Brian and this community have been game-changers—taking my obsession of learning and helping to focus it into improved results on the water. I hope to keep building on this momentum next season!

Brian Latimer, as I work to grow BardeRodz while competing myself, I'm hoping to understand how to navigate both sides of sponsorship. I'm focused on building rod designs and manufacturing, with the goal of potentially becoming a sponsor for others, while also pursuing opportunities as an angler myself. What steps would you recommend to create genuine value and credibility in both directions of the sponsorship relationship?

Outdoor Mental Therapy - I love being out there! It was in the lower 30 degrees with very high winds today - my season is coming to a close... ;-(

Just don't set the hook too hard on those paper lips. ;-)

Good Luck! Enjjoy and make memories!

Kevin Skovenski My last boat was a deep-V and I think I only had room for two batteries.

Here is my LiFePO4 current setup. Any recommendations? What did I do right or could I improve on - https://youtu.be/vtcDYKQCO8Q

I currently run a separate lithium "house" battery for my graphs and AT. I will make a short video on my current lithium setup. Before my Lithium upgrades, here is an example of my lead or AGM setup. I want to know that my batteries are always consistent and reliable - https://youtu.be/HS3d-iKGfvk

Brian Latimer You are an inspiration to many anglers. Thank you! I lost three fish in a tournament a couple of years ago trying to flip those fish in the boat. I only weighed two fish that day. :-( I learned a lot that day. I netted every fish in a tournament after that. I like these podcast formats. I love the focus on mental strength—I hope kids are not too sick. Thanks again.
