The month of May 2026 was a memorable one! Very blessed and thankful for my family, friends and girlfriend. There are many people that I didn’t get a picture with but am still very thankful to have in my life as well that have helped me along the way. Looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Here is to all the memories I made through college with a great circle of people. All thanks to God to be where I am today.

Finished up stop 3 of the @bassmastercollege Legends trail on Robert S. Kerr Reservoir!!!

Started off day one by locking down the river taking 30 mile risk we knew could pay off based on how many quality fish we found down there.

Everyone in this business knows locking is risky especially based on the time you have in a tournament. Day 1 we got down to our fish and caught 14.11lbs real quick and with time to spare to get back to the lock.

Day 2 we got back to our spot with plenty of time but with the Biometric pressure changing our fish didn’t start biting till the last second which caused us to only have 2 fish prior to locking back up to the main lake. Staying out of the cut by 3 keepers!

Unfortunately didn’t qualify for the national championship but had one hell of a run this year and learned so many things. We will be back @bassmastercollege !!!!

Stop #2 of the Bassmaster College Series on Lake Sam Rayburn. We rolled out day one with a few areas we found during practice with some quality bites. But unfortunately couldn’t get more than 14lbs a day but fortunately had 100s of bites. It’s hard to complain when you’re catching so many fish but just couldn’t get on enough kickers to make it happen on the home pond!! But we’re just getting started!!! Thanks to all our sponsors!!!

Stop 1 – Kissimmee Chain was a grind. Tough days on the water led to a middle of the pack finish for the top finishing team of Noah Ortiz and Fernando Martinez. Missed opportunities and Motor issues set the team back, but the they are locked in and ready to bounce back for Stop 2 at Rayburn with new water and a fresh mindset

Huge thanks to Sam Houston State University for the opportunity to compete and represent across the country. 🎣💪

@mercurymarine Pro Team angler @benploch_fishing is already making moves in 2026! @ionic_batteries upgraded him to a new 150ah battery 🔋. We even installed a @mercurymarine SmartCraft Connect Mobile so he can see his engine hours, alarms, and maintenance!
