it's an awesome experience, win or "not win"... and you're nervous cause it matters to you.. it'll get better, I promise.. last year I didn't even get a limit mist of the tournaments, lucked up and got 4th, then 3rd... then this year, at our 1st tournament, I got 1st.. Hang in there, it gets better... and, download the "iboating" app.. I heard about it thru Matthew Dennis... You can hit layers, and enable depth shading.. also, it has Ai assisted good fishing spots..(the dots in the pict). hope this helps..

I've never caught one on ANY bait... they're on my bucket list..

I had a fish disqualified cause my pinky tip had gotten under the edge of the gill plate also.. it was a 17" bass.. but I still won the tournament.. turned out I didn't even need that fish...I've been fishing tournaments almost 3 years, mistakes do happen..

Brian, thanks for recommending this video to me during the live last week..! I'm really enjoying trying to keep up with him..lol. about to binge on him today !!

Matthew Dennis yeah, we'll do that.. Corey, Jason Starley and I are planning a float down the Flint or Ocmulgee soon. we were going last weekend but the high river made us postpone.. I'll let u know when we are going.. maybe u can join us.. we went a few times last summer and it was awesome..

Brian looks like Brian... me? I look like a zombie or something..lol.

Tennessee Rivers Tackle Co. wow.. that'll be great.! I'll message you with my address.. and yeah, I'll try them out and get some more.. I kayak bass fish, with a few friends, so they'll get a look at them also. We fish rivers and lakes here in middle Georgia.. Flint river, oconee river, Ocmulgee river, lake Sinclair, lake julliette, etc. plus, I'm in 2 kayak bass fishing clubs also, and we are always fishing new waters.. so I'll give them a good testing for ya..!

Hey buddy, I sat in front of you at Blats Lake Russell seminar.. talked to you briefly in the parking lot also..! Good to see u in here.!
