5th Place CSFL - Rice Lake


Super fun day on the water this past weekend fishing the CSFL Bassmania event on Rice Lake. Started out the morning on the drive up when I realized the boat was not plugged in all night.. but it ended up working out alright, when we showed up to the launch and there was a 2 hour fog delay. So we plugged in the boat, and got as much juice as we could before blast off.  Blast off was at 9, and off to our spot we went, dropped the trolling motor, put our heads down, and grinded it out all day long. Bites were far and few in between, but when we got bit, it was a good one. I knew my trolling motor was going to die at some point in the day, it was just a matter of time. The winds were howling all day long and was 100% on the motor pretty well until one o'clock when it died. So we put the drift sock out, and drifted around hoping to get bit to get a limit in the boat.. We just couldn't get that fifth bite and ended up bringing 18 pounds to the scale, won big fish, and finished 5th overall. Super fun day on the water, wooooooooop. Now, time to start thinking about and preparing for the FLW canada championship on Big Rideau this September.. Can't wait

Ontario BASS Nation Qualifier


Was really hoping to make the Team this year, But didn’t pan out the way I wanted. Had some boat issues on day one and made some bad decisions, but learned a lot by the end of day 2. Pretty disappointed, but I learned a lot this past weekend.. HUGE congrats to all the boys who made Team Ontario this year. Big thanks to everyone at OBN, all the volunteers, Pete and Marg Garnier for their hospitality, Pure Fishing, my parents for their continued support, and everyone who make the qualifiers possible. Im definitely going to miss being with the team this year.. This is by far the tournament I look forward to the most every year, and I already can’t wait to get at it again next year in Petawawa. 
Now, time to start thinking about and preparing for the FLW Championship on big Rideau coming up in September, WOOOP
