Dream Smallmouth Fishing Trip?

The 40-hour, 2,500-mile road trip has officially begun.
Cameras are rolling, miles are stacking up, and there’s a LOT coming along the way.

Looking forward to taking you all with me for the ride — behind the scenes, on the road, and everything in between.
Let’s roll. 🔥

Jacked about getting my hands on the Rapala OG Series (Otis Garage) Floating Tiny 4. That circuit board lip paired with a true balsa body is just unfair.

This thing is gonna absolutely crushed once spring rolls around.

Which brings me to the real question…

Why do I live in Ohio again?

Which sonar option would you choose if you could only choose one?

Ran up North the Steelhead Superhighway today…
Pretty sure there was a traffic jam upstream because I didn’t catch jack. 😂

Sent a reel to ‪@DEBOSFishing‬ for repairs…

Got it back running smooth plus a surprise stash of baits 🤯

This Berkley Dime 6 looks pretty sweet and now I’m seriously considering breaking more reels for science.

🚨 KAYAK FISHING OBSESSED TONIGHT — 8:30PM EST 🚨

The Kayak Fishing Obsessed Podcast is going ALL IN on Big Bass Behavior. If you are catching fish but struggling to consistently catch bigger ones, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dan Morelli (@FishingWithMorelli), and we cut straight through the myths and internet noise to break down how big bass actually think, move, feed, and position on the water. This isn’t about magic baits or lucky casts — it’s about real-world decisions, conditions, and patterns that separate giant hunters from numbers anglers, and how to apply them whether you’re fishing from a kayak or the bank.

🔥 PLUS — I’ve got a BIG announcement you’re not going to want to miss, so make sure you’re live with us. This is one of those conversations that changes how you fish the very next time you launch.

Big shoutout to ‪@DEBOSFishing‬!

Not only did he get my Daiwa Tatula back in fighting shape, but he sent it home loaded in a box of lures!

One of those? The Megabass Vision 110 🔥

If you know, you know. Absolute legend of a jerkbait—cold water, finicky fish, doesn’t matter. This thing just gets bit.

Seriously appreciate you, brother. Reel fixed. Tackle box upgraded. Fish are officially on notice.

Just got the G-Ratt Pistol Pete in my latest Dark Horse Tackle Box. Haven’t thrown it yet, but it looks mean.

Anyone have experience with it? How does it swim for you?

If you haven’t used one… would you throw this?

Quick rundown: Scaled-down Sneaky Pete, rotating hook hangers, slow sinking, 3X hooks, and steel bearings for extra rattle.

Curious what you think!
