It was an absolute joy to take out my Dad, my son Matthew, and grandson Knox for a Father’s Day trip. Knox caught his biggest fish, and we boated almost 40 by 9:30. Cookout coming with fried and blackened fish on the menu!

Thanks to Captain Nathan Key of Shad Slinger guide service for letting me and captain Eddie help with his large multi boat group today. I had the amazing opportunity to fish an 86 year old Dad and his 4 sons. Having this man onboard and watching him catch fish including a massive hybrid and a nice striper was so dear to my heart. I have a special place inside me for older folks, as my Grandpa is the reason I got hooked on hybrid fishing when I was 4 years old!!!!

It was great to have my ole buddy from NC James Norton and his friend Isaiah down today for some screaming drags!!! Amazing Christian brother fellowship was the highlight of the morning even though we caught over 30 hybrids and stripers and a bunch of spotted bass as a bonus!!!!
