I Might Go Fishin

10/24/2025

Tomorrow and Sunday will be the last tournament of the year. This one can literally be won by any of the hammers who are qualified for this event, myself included. The Juni is fishing lights out! Mid 90s are going to be the norm and not the rarity. Expect big numbers and tough competition!
Good luck to all who qualified and are signed up!
Thank you, Juniata River Valley Visitors Bureau for sponsoring this event!

The Susquehanna Fishing Tackle Susquehanna Classic kayak tournament is in the books. I scratched out a respectable 24th out of 120 anglers but didn't cash a check. It's a shame that their first kayak tournament was mired in controversy and alleged rule breaking. I won't comment further other than to say, I'm done fishing big money tournaments.

Counting down to a much needed off season with 2 events to go. Although not a great season with a lot of missed opportunities, and a 3rd for my best finish this year, it ain't over. Hopeful for a top 10 or even a win if I can get 5 big fish into the net. The usual hammers are showing up so it ain't gonna be a cakewalk! The river is excruciatingly low! Mother nature must enjoy watching us drag our expensive rigs around knowing that they were actually made to float and not take on walks!
Good luck to everyone with a little extra luck in my direction!
Get signed up. This one is gonna be a BASS Kayak Series level event!

Well, prefishing for the SFT Susquehanna Classic was a grind today. But at least throwing the kitchen sink at them was an option!

This man created wild dreams of giant Tarpon on the fly when I was a kid. The Walkers Cay Chronicles was probably about the only fly show we watched next to all the bass fishing shows. Rest in peace, Flip. You definitely left an indelible mark on generations of anglers around the globe. Gone but never forgotten.

Flip Pallot, an icon in the world of fishing, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy as vast and enduring as the waters he loved.

Decided to join this trail at the end of the season. I was going to wait until next season, but I can't resist an excuse to fish the upper Potomac! Pulling out at O dark 30 tomorrow morning. After a day in Philly, a guy trying to back up to purposely run into me, and the seemingly increased number of idiots on the road today, I need some river time!

2 giant evens in 2 days. The Kayak Adventure Series and the Native No Limits Big Bass Power Hour.
The river is fishing tough! What will it take to win this year? The 20s are tough to find in the boundary waters. What will win the $1000 per hour big bass bounty? 18s, 19s, or will someone figure out how to get on the 20s?
Good luck everyone!
Follow live on the website tomorrow 2-8PM and Saturday all day!
Also follow the team I'm on. "WhoopBass" with Patrick Sprankle!

Congratulations to Shaw Grigsby for his top 20 finish in the Tackle Warehouse Invitational on the St. Lawrence River. This was his final event as he eases into retirement after more than 4 decades as a professional bass angler. Shaw, enjoy your retirement. We love you! From the Grove family, thanks for the memories!

Tough bite around my old haunts this year. Fortunately the Nikko Fishing Baits 4.25 Hellgrammite in Natural always comes through. Solid 19" Smally fell for it rigged on an 1/8 ounce 4/0 Zman Pro Bulletz jig head.
