In 2022 we started a new series called Stars & Bars Fishing to focus on on in-the-field action, starting a second job to save money, buy a bass boat, and most importantly – move my entire family south, out of Illinois. Trophy bass fishing on big water and world-class river systems await, and I aim to improve to the point where I can guide… every time I pick up a rod, the goal is to get 1% better. This tiny, routine improvement will compound in time…
I have a lot to learn, and a lot of work to make this happen… let’s go!
