SUF Fam-I shared my last defeat, and it’s time to share an epic win in a local teams derb. Graham Mebane lake is a city lake and it only allows 20 boats on it on any given day. I caught a total of 7 fish today (4 being over 5lbs). Out on the water weight was 30lbs even and at weigh in I edged out a victory with a 29.67lb bag!!!!

This was the most epic day I have ever had. Thank you for all the support when I shared my last defeat. It felt great to win against 20 local teams filled with absolute hammersI caught 24lbs in about 200 yards of shoreline before 11AM. My go pro failed me and didn’t record all my catches or my PB, but the catch posted here happened at 3PM which culled 3lber that sealed the deal.

Send me a Blood Pressure pill ASAP! 🤣

Well SUF family-For all of you that recently had a bad Tourney let me join your club. My first BFL as a boater on Norman resulted in a 🦨. I think my nerves, weather conditions, and head got the best of me. 114 boats showed up and I finished 102.

It was a windy day with 10-30MP gust pretty much from the jump. I fought the wind more than the fish. The three I was lucky enough to fight briefly shook off. Once noon hit, panic and frustration set in, and I feel like I was rushing to try to catch just one.

Wanted to share for those of you fishing you first tourneys this season. If you have days where you think you suck…we all have those. The best part about failing sometimes is the lessons that come along with them 💪.

For those of you fishing in my division, let’s go crush it at Wylie on 3/22!

FL update-They were hungry for the Frog today. As soon as it hit the water. You could see the swirls this one came for it from about 1o ft away. Gotta start keeping a scale in the golf bag, but I’ll guesstimate this chunk to be pushing 3.

Tilapia and Bass on Beds already here. ❤️🤤

Had to go defend the 2024 ACBM title with a dub to start year.
I tried to catch them deep, but it wasn’t happening for me. Every fish came on a Green Pumpkin Shakey in 5-10 ft of water near lay downs.

Weather was 37° with off and on rain ☔️. Not the biggest field because of it but a win is a win. Took home the big fish pot as well.

Shout out to Brian Latimer for the recent lake map break down on Belews Creek
and the SUF hoodie that kept me warm all day.

Best of luck to everyone with upcoming tournaments!
