Well I finally got out and about yesterday. Thanks to John Wilson I was reminded of and took it to a newish body of water... Only fished it once back in 2020 when I had zero clue what I was doing... Caught two pitching a drop shot into the timber! They are small but the first fish of 2026... I saw a bald eagle to boot! Seen more and more over the years, always pretty cool when you see them! (It's hard to tell but if you zoom in you can kind of see the white feathers on it's head. I saw it fly across the lake I'm not crazy... Well ya know.)

So with the New Year approaching I want to encourage everyone to have a safe and happy night! DON'T SHOOT GUNS IN THE AIR!!! Shoot fireworks instead. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!! There are plenty of ride shares services that will be glad to assist you... Also please please please please WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!! No matter what vehicle you are in, if there is a seatbelt use it! I just worked a fatality last week with a side by side and the passenger was not wearing her seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle and crushed...

I love all y'all.... (AKA you's guys for the northern folks.) Happy New Year's eve!
