  • It finally happened, I got a new boat. An Xplor X18. This is not a sponsored boat, just bought it myself. I drove over 1,200 miles round trip to pick it up and do some fishing while i'm at it.

    I have been looking at these boats for a while. Can't make my mind up. I know they are lightweight and essentially a technical poling skiff. A nice lloking skiff anyway! Congratulations

    You should come back up to Wakulla County during the winter to try for a 30" speckled trout when the trout are stacked up in the creeks. Got a 29 1/4" this February and several other high 20" fish.

    Man, you teach me a lot. You’re very consistent. You’re one of the main people who remind me that no matter how tired you may be, get up, sacrifice, and get it done. In many of your videos, I can tell you’re bloodshot tired, but you always get up and put in the work. Thanks for the vids and the lessons 🙏🏾

    It's awesome to see you back in a boat. I could tell you were frustrated at times trying to deal with shore based fishing and paddle boards. It's amazing how much that new boat has already ratcheted up your energy and enthusiasm and the first time out you land a stud red! That's some good mojo! Can't wait to see more vids!
