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.

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
