Super excited to reveal this year’s boat wrap! Proud to be heading into the 2026 season in another awesome @nitroboats Z-20XL, rigged flawless by the crew at @topmarinetechnicians. Huge thanks to the great companies that make this possible and allow me to keep chasing this dream.

2nd place yesterday on Lake Russell in the GA Bass Trail with just under 19 lbs! The warmer weather is finally rolling in and we got to pull some of the fun stuff out of the @gruvfishing boxes to get it done.

Snuck off to a new lake yesterday afternoon and safe to say it’s got some bigs in it!!

It’s that time of year when the Lanier Spotted bass get some insane builds!

Busy weekend on the water Started Saturday on Lake Lanier for our club championship and scratched up 20.42, and Dad finished the job today with the win. Meanwhile, @chasecarey__11 and I battled the wind on Lake Keowee during the Skeeter Trail to finish up 6th.

Super fun week helping out at the @scheelsoutdoors sales meeting on Lake Lanier! Had a blast teaching an awesome group about @lews_fishing and @strikekinglurecompany gear—and even managed to catch a few bass along the way.

Just a couple months until that time… 💥 #topwater #blowups

Last weekend at Clark’s Hill for stop #3 of the GA Bass Trail was a good one. Came away with a 6th-place finish and looking forward to some warmer temps this week!

Only a few more months till we’re blasting the @nitroboats Z-20xl around in those Summer sunsets!

It’s that time of year—get your @strikekinglurecompany Red Eye Shads untangled and dialed in. Nothing better than staying organized with a @gruvfishing hard bait box.
