2025 Review:
This past year was a mixed bag of personal gains and losses. I’ve gone through both quite extensively. I’ve lost friends and family members. I’ve also gained friends, licenses and skills. At the end of it all I continue on my life mantra.
Life is a series of stumbles and getting back up. We walk l, we fall down and we get back up. The key isn’t in getting back up. The trick is to make a decision to keep moving forward and never go backwards.
I’ve gained quite a bit personally from the SUF community. Skills, training, and opportunities are second place to the actual friends and bonds I’ve been able to enjoy.
Here is my only picture for 2025. One last look at the sunset off my stern. Looking towards my bow for 2026.
Thank you all for just being YOU.

Celebrated my final treatment on Monday by hitting the water today. Got 14 LMB and this Fatty Tilapia that came in 3 1/3 LB. Threw my typical Jerkbait and SMH all day.

Thought of Tron and caught 8 or 9 of these in 35 foot of water this Friday. I was fishing a natural sinkhole to test a new rod and reel combo for deep water. Super clear water and using the Doodle method, but with a heavier jig head and minnow. I didn’t upsize the bait on purpose but FFS showed the window of opportunity and I decided to try the method anyway. I consider myself lucky to be in a climate and the SUF community where we can try new things all year long. #makeeverycastcount

I've been absent since the Fall Fishing Tour and Elite Anger Academy. However, it was for a good reason. I wanted to take in all the experience and tweaks that I picked up and apply them in two different tournaments in the past 2 weeks. I just needed to file all of the info away and organize it in my brain. It all started with a complete focus on what I needed to do to perform. First up was Okeechobee. After that, I got lucky and a buddy came to practice with me one of the days just before the Jim Hooven Open. It was a great sanity check. I accomplished better than expected results! Finished off the weeks taking someone special on the boat for an evening of fishing antics. Next step is BFL registration for 2026 season.

Another tournament in the books:
The big O met with our local club today and did not disappoint. She was a stingy, misbehaving, and outright difficult body of water to deal with. However some of us managed to have a great time and built on the bridge of confidence. Next week it’s a tournament on Kissimmee that will test to the next level. As Brian recently told me “you aren’t competing against the other anglers”… figure the rest out like I did. :)
