Andrew, very proud of your decision to make your family the priority. You will never get this time back for your son. Before you know it he will be a grown man…and you would hate yourself for missing this important time in his life. You will always be able to fish, and there will come a time you will have plenty of time to do so… It’s a mature decision made by a good father and husband.
Great job weighing all the options and think you made a great decision!!! Wishing you the best of luck and look forward to following you on the journey!!!! Happy Holidays to you and the family!!
Love the decision,i think it's just what you need,family is definitely worth it,you want regret buddy,lost my mom 0ct 29th so use all the time you have with the family,cant wait to see you in the NPFL,let's go Drew
Buddy, I am so sorry for your loss. You have been apart of my channel for a really long time and I hate that it happened to you. Nothing gets that back for you and the holidays make it harder. Just know I’ll be praying for you buddy
I’m about halfway with the whole FFS debate. Still the one thing that makes 0 sense are guys who say take away FFS from these guys and they will Zero. Livescope came out in 2018/2019 so every pro has fished without it way longer than with it. There is a lot of angler that caught them before it and continue to catch them with it. I see the problems with Scopr but, I also can’t stand the level of grown men crying like a baby.
Family 1st is always good decision, Npfl is going to be full next year,i hope to see some tournaments videos from you like travel vlog tournaments stuff,... cheers and good luck in 2025
Andrew you have to do what is best for your family if that means fishing in the NPFL that awesome. And your right FFS is taking away some of the skills from anglers and it's kinda like playing a video game. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against FFS it's a tool. If I had it I wouldn't use it that much. I like sight fishing. And I have a love hate relationship with lake eufaula in Oklahoma. I love it because I can catch big bass on it but hate it because it can get very rough 4ft to 5ft waves rough. And Norfork lake is like fishing Beaver lake and Bull shoals just depends on what side your fishing on upper or lower

How was your Thanksgiving I want to know it's I know you are so putting on new video and try to keep up if you can please and thank you
Had a great Thanksgiving with a few of our good friends prepping for football games!

Completely agree. But I love challenges and I think next year will def be one!
Awesome decision! I heard the national pickleball league is looking for players too. … but seriously congrats and good luck
😂😂😂
Sad times in pro bass fishing hard to make a living with out sport endorsements.
For sure
I think you made the right choice. I'm a BIG FAN of the NPFL. Plus doesn't Douglas fish alot like Cherokee?
In the few times that I have fished both, it has.
@AndrewUpshawFishing I remember watching you and Dylan dueling it out for the Dub on Cherokee. That was a fun one to watch.
Well since you have been in opens purgatory. The only option is NPFL.
For sure. The Open’s are great for anglers trying to make the Elites, I just don’t know if I have the drive in my current situation to want to do it.
Never apologize for taking care of your family first. At 62 I can truly say life goes by too fast- family time should always trump everything else.
You’re so so right. Thank you buddy.
Good decision
Thanks man
I thought you retired from the tube
Not yet
Omnia Pro ????
You are not to smart !
FFS SUCKS !
Worst state than ever.
Yep!
