Dylan Akins Fishing

Finished up at Norfork with a solid 23rd-place finish. No weigh-in photos this time, but we put together a little something to show the wild weather we battled all week. Huge thank you to all of my amazing sponsors for making this journey possible. Couldn’t do it without you! Excited to keep the momentum rolling into Wheeler next week for the MLF College National Championship! Let’s go! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships @emmanuelathletics

Practice for Norfork has been an interesting one, and with the lake set to rise four feet before blastoff, it’s about to get even wilder. Time to put our heads down, adjust, and go swinging! Huge thanks to my sponsors! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships

Check out one of my favorite features on my new Humminbird XPLORE Units by utilizing my shortcut buttons to control my Minn Kota Raptors. This is a very helpful feature ,but especially for the months ahead!! @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors #oneboatnetwork #thisisfishing #minnkotaraptor #humminbirdxplore

With a recent 4th place finish at the Lake Lanier BFL, I was also the highest finisher in the #CostaCompeteAndConserve program—allowing me to make a donation to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. While most anglers think of sunglasses for sight fishing, one of the most crucial times to wear them is during those early morning runs across the lake. Glare can be a serious hazard, and having the right lenses ensures clear visibility and safety. That’s why I trust the Costa Ferg XL in Gold Mirror—they cut glare while keeping my view bright and sharp, giving me confidence on the water from sunrise to weigh-in. #CostaCompeteAndConserve #SeeWhatsOutThere @costabassfishing @costasunglasses

What an unbelievable week fishing the Bassmaster Classic — truly an experience of a lifetime. The bass got the best of me on Day 2, but I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity and already hungry to qualify for another one! Huge congratulations to @eastonfothergillfish on the win — couldn’t have happened to a better guy! Big thank you to my incredible sponsors for making this possible: @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships @emmanuelathletics Now off to lake Norfork for the next Bassmaster Open

Had an incredible time at Media Day and the Night of Champions—what a week it’s been living out a dream that a younger version of me could’ve only imagined. Tomorrow, it’s finally here—Day 1 of the Bassmaster Classic. The weather’s going to be bumpy, but we’re going out swinging against the very best in the world! None of this would be possible without the support of my incredible sponsors—thank you for everything this week! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships @emmanuelathletics @collegebass Time to go to work!

It’s been a grind out here in practice for the Bassmaster Classic. The weather’s thrown everything at us—wind, cold, sun—but no rain… yet. We’ve got a couple off days of interviews and meetings before it’s go time Friday. Huge thanks to all my sponsors for the continued support and @collegebass for making this possible! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8upmounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinkle_marine @dynamic_sponsorships
