Bright and sunny, make sure you can see these fish. There’s nothing like seeing a 40-inch snook in this shallow water. That’s the Nature Coast! @purposebuiltoptics #kayakfishing #supfishing #fishing #flyfishing #livewatersports

Some trips change your perspective forever. The Bahamas was one of them. Miles of untouched water. Endless flats. Remote coastlines that most people will never experience. That’s what LIVE Watersports trips are designed for. The Bahamas was the perfect reminder of what LIVE is all about. We faced harsh conditions and challenging fisheries, but got the job done thanks to the most versatile paddleboard on the water. From crossing open water to quietly exploring hidden backcountry, every mile was about pushing further, adapting to the conditions, and reaching places most watercraft simply can’t access. Exploring further together. #livewatersports #flyfishing #bahamas #paddleboard #supfishing

You can’t always expect perfect conditions. Some days live in the middle ground, not terrible, but still choppy. When your optics can’t cut through that chop to find the color tints or the movement, your day gets a whole lot worse. Purpose Built optics have become my everyday glasses, the ones I genuinely rely on. Finding bonefish in these conditions was tough, but being able to spot that greenish tint made all the difference. @purposebuiltoptics #flyfishing #outdoors #supfishing #bonefish #angler

Backstory: My buddy Chris @cmcharters and his family came down to @lapescalodge and wanted to head out and hit Baffin. The rain and high winds kept us off the water til after noon. We decided to drill down and pick an area apart. After an hour a few small trout and one red was all we had to show, bait was EVERYWHERE. The barometric pressure was sky high after the rain and it was tough. I had made the decision to mid-stroll with a new rod made for me by @coresoundcustomrods , a 7-3” with a short handle, just like I ordered. As we approached the major feeding time Chris said “I smell a slick”…then it happened. My line went slack then I felt weight, I let her take it for 2 seconds and set the hook. If you’ve seen Godzilla come out of the water then you have seen what this fish looked like. Stuck good in the roof of the mouth she was anchored and was doing everything a nine pound trout does to get it out. She put on a show. I let her do the dance, I owed her that. Needless to say trout that big do whatever they want, and go wherever they want. When she finally came to the Boga I did my best impression of Elvis on 5 cups of coffee and gas station speed. It wasn’t pretty, never is with me but I got her clipped on. I just stared at her. Purple and silver, deep and heavy, her sides were 8” from her back to belly. The death grip 2/0 was firmly stuck in the roof of her cavernous yellow mouth. Quick pic and walked her carefully back to the boat to measure and weigh. The water is getting warmer so I wanted to get her back to deeper cooler water as fast as possible. She measured 30 1/2 and hit the scale at 9.14 a true Baffin beauty. She was starting to lean to one side so passed on more pics. I held her by her massive tail she jolted that big body and let me know that it was time for her to return. What a feeling to watch her swim off. It never gets old. I’ll store this memory and replay it over and over, that’s what big trout do to me. I hope they do the same to you someday too. #speckledtrout #wadefishing #wadefishingtexas #feralconcepts

When I travel, there’s a set of gear I always bring. These tools helped us catch some incredible fish in the Bahamas, and they might just change how you fish on the water too. Take a look 🔥 #flyfishinglife #outdoors #flyfishing #kayakfishing #supfishing
