Here is a video of a beautiful 5lb smallmouth. Turns out after the fact my scale is off by .5lbs. I caught this fish on a jerk(rip) bait within a few weeks after Ice off.

Day 3 and the comeback continues. I go from Day 1 93rd to 55th.. Which in the grand scheme of things is all about points. #NPFL #TNPFL # TheNationalProfessionalFishingLeague

This is a small compilation of Idaho and Montana fishing.

We tend to focus on certain aspects of the new technological advancements in sonar and believe it gives an unfair advantage to the angler. I go over the top three pros and a couple cons with this tech. Here is food for thought, The winners of a tournament may have the latest sonar gadget but so does the bottom half of the field nowadays as well..... What makes the difference?

Montana game & fish are alarmed by the confirmed catch of smallmouth in the upper Yellowstone and the possible impacts on the native cutthroat. Well there's more than one side to this story.

More pressure, more information, more anglers and conventional wisdom. Most follow a very predictable set of changes when targeting pressured finicky bass. Downsizing and natural color patterns are the go to when things get tough. While they still work I am suggesting when times get tough to think out side the box and do the opposite.

Ruger my red/blue heeler loves to swim and he is amazing at.

Our neighborhood mule deer show up about every morning. Eating trees and in this case a chopped down tree.

I am giving some of my spring bait and color selections, going over some theories on spring bass movements.Plus Berkley silly applications and gas and other costs skyrocketing effecting tournament participation.

No sled, no problem. A plastic tub can be used in a pinch. #snow. #sledding

Table Rock Lake in southern Missouri is a great bass fishery year around. Coming into the winter months even in the worst weather the fishing can be great and the lake pretty much empty.

While most of know of and love speciality baits like hand made giant swimsuits there is another speciality section on the opposite end..... Micro baits.

We hit up Table Rock Lake on a windy day for about an hour. Fishing for spots is just incredible on Table Rock. I caught these ones in 50* water temps on a 5' ultra lite rod with 6lb test and on a ned rig. #TableRockLake. #TableRockLakeFishing #TableRocklLakeBass

Post frontal conditions and stained water have this area of the lake a little off. However the fish are here and they're still bitting. Excellent area for good largemouth and spotted bass. #TableRockLake

In the Northwest there are many beautiful places. There are many great fishing destinations. Combining the two BigHorn Res. has not only great fishing but scenic views.

Day 2 I start turning things around. I decided instead of gambling and going for broke I would hunker down into something I am good at and play it for points. Day 2 I go form 93rd to 73rd. Stay tuned for Day 3 as the come back continues. #TNPFL #TheNationalProfessionalFishingLeague #TheLeague

Initial review of the Bellows Gill by Geecrack. It is an innovative bait in a segment that innovation is hard to come by.

I go over my mechanical emergency kit for my travels. It's nothing to extensive but can save you in a pinch. I carry common failure items for the vehicle such as a spare tensioner pulley and serpentine belt.

I quickly go over the Albright Knot which is used to splice braid to fluorocarbon line. #albright knot. #braidtofluoro
