I feel you...

Record high temperatures a couple of days ago, and now there are 3 inches of snow today. Lakes are unsafe for ice fishing. Don't drive your 2023 2500 GMC on lakes this time of year!!! No fishing for me.

That is a great list. I am saving this.

Please try to get Rick Clunn on a LIVE. I respect his journey and thought processes.

BLat says not to step in mud and get in his boat. In general, I want people to respect the boat and fishing. 

I look forward to the 8th and the rest of 2025. Thanks, BLat

2024 in SUF school was fantastic for me, and I am excited to see what 2025 will be. Thank BLat, for being great!

Thank you for asking this question. Here's my 2025 plan:

1. Health first - consistent gym + better eating + faith the future will be good

2. Quality family time - being truly present and make memories

3. Tournament goals:

- Fish all scheduled events - club and BFLs

- learn everday

- 5 fish every weigh-in

- 3x top-3 club finishes

- one Top 20 in a BFL

4. Stretch goal-BardeRodz: sell 50 rods

Life's too short not to be happy. We can chase goals and still enjoy every moment - happiness isn't waiting at the finish line, it's found in the path to each new finish line.

Choosing joy and gratefulness daily - in the gym, with family, on the water, and at tournaments. Each day's a gift, even when you have not figured the fish out. Have faith that you will figure them out tomorrow. Positive Vibes!

Life's good.
