Fishing and (mostly) fun

  • Even Jordan missed some shots….

    WELL……. To say I am satisfied with my place in the KBF Santee Cooper Open would be false; I will never feel ok with 69th place…and this was my worst performance since discovering KBF. Last week I placed 5th on Kentucky Lake….69 was a major let down. I kept telling myself that even Babe Ruth… Read more

  • ooooooh that smell….

    I wanted to write about last weekend, and am finally dry enough to feel comfortable with my hands on the keyboard. It was the most miserable day.

  • gotta find the right perspective…

    I just finished the 2018 KBF National Championship (7th place– shameless self promoting) and thought I would share something I wrote during the week of pre-fishing.
