A LITTLE ABOUT ME👇🏼

The first clip was January 9th 2026, the second was June 12th 2026. It’s wild to see such a difference in my face. 3-4 years ago I weighed 40lbs more. As I am writing this, this is the strongest my mental health has been and this is the best I’ve ever felt about my body. I have been in therapy for 8 years now but the physical health needed addressing. It all started last December getting into the gym. At first I was nervous to go but I started staying consistent and began to feel the mental and physical benefits. I am so proud of the work I’ve put into myself. Then, over the past 6 months, I reconnected with Carlee (who I had a crush on 14 years ago) and now we are together and very much in love. All this to say, take care of your mind, your body, and things will come together. It doesn’t happen overnight but it’s all worth it. Oh ya, and get out there and get some tight lines. Nature’s therapy. 🎣

Getting out on a lake was so much fun! The dry/dropper setup worked well. What are some other rigs y’all like out there for lake fishing? Let me know below please! 🤘🏼

I felt like I was going blind. Even with polarized lenses, the fly would disappear instantly! Any tips/tricks?!

On June 25th my mom passed.

As much as you can say you were prepared for the news, it still hits you like a freight train. She raised my brother and I as a single mom which I can only imagine how tough that had to have been. She loved us and our family dearly and I will miss her lots. Her love of the ocean is something I’ll never forget and I find comfort that she is at peace finally. I took some time to myself last week, camping and fishing in central Oregon. One evening I ended up catching a very special fish on the Metolius and I stood there with tears in my eyes saying “This one’s for you mom.”

I will continue to make you proud momma bear. Please give Saylor a pet from me and hugs to Nan, Donna, Vera, Uncle Ralph, and Dad. I love you. ❤️

RIP Rowena Elaine Best.
