What yall think of my new tatts?

Found a 20+ finally. Tournament day featured storms rolling through all day and several missed fish. I didn’t fish well but two tournaments remain and I need some points! Beech River Watershed lakes. They are all between 200-500 acres. Time to do some planning.

I love fishing in the morning time. The hook live that we had the other day got me thinking and I have to admit I’ve been hanging out with Gerald cause I’ve thrown EWG on all my creature style baits for ever. Today I went out and tried something new. Not the grass. That’s still the money spot. However, I didn’t want to go down in it, I went for a different perspective and fished up. I used a V lock bend with a screw lock and I caught the mess out then dang fish. Had at least 30 bites in a couple of hours and landed 25+. It’s crazy what trying something new does. Also, if you are like me and you break the nose off your plastics after a couple of bites, try the screw lock. It’ll save the life of the plastics.

I am excited to represent the development program and the SUF community. I didn’t have a clue what was going on cause I was out in the woods and in the rain doing some sunset fishing. I’m so thankful and shocked. 1. I’d love to have a jersey or a hat to represent 2. I don’t fish for smallmouth much because we don’t really have em down here, but when I fish for them below pickwick dam you can find them in the strongest current like yall said, but the biggest I’ve caught were in the eddies.

Does anyone use seat risers? Looking at a 2” front seat riser but does that mean I also need a rear seat riser as well? Anyone have either and can tell me about it.

Also, I keep a small lithium battery in the front compartment of my oldtown autopilot and I think it got wet at Kentucky lake. How do you keep these batteries dry or is there a better way to store it? All help is appreciated.

This was a rewarding experience. Reelfoot lake is one of the most beautiful fisheries, but it can be so difficult to bass fish. I fished for 10 hours yesterday and only got one bite. I used that bite to target “something different” and it paid off this morning.

I wonder where I caught this fish at. Great first day of King of the Ring!

I know someone has a trick. How do you wash these things and get the smell out? 😂

🤔The pros agree with what Blat said earlier.

This is how you know you love what you do.
