Brian does your boat have seat heaters? I like to be comfy on that early morning ride. 😁

Tail up or down on a paddle tail? That is the question we all ask. Have a great day BLAT!

Commented on Condolences for Tron Foster

Rest in peace, Tron Foster.

A brother in this Straight Up Fishing family, a teacher of strength and adversity, and hands down the man with the best hookset we’ve ever seen, something we joked that even Brian needed to learn from him.

But what I’ll remember most is the way he showed up for all of us. The conversations, the encouragement, the way he made this community feel like a real family. Tron made a difference here. A big one.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, his friends, Brian, and everyone here who’s feeling this loss. Love you all. Thank you for the support, the connection, and the community we share. We’ll miss you, Tron.

I know it’s been a minute since I posted, but here’s a handful of bass from the past few weeks. 🎣

I’ve been putting time in learning new techniques—finally committing to throwing a squarebill, crankbait, and even a frog. I’ll be honest, it’s tough to put the wacky rig and drop shot down, but the crank and frog bites have been 🔥 lately.

Next up on the list: mastering the jerkbait. Can’t wait to see where it takes me.

What’s the bait you’ve been stepping outside your comfort zone with this season?
