These past couple weeks we fished the ACA event on Dardanelle and the MLF event on Cherokee! Dardanelle was a grind to say the least. We managed to put 3 fish in the boat each day to finish right in the middle of the pack. Cherokee was a different story!! We switched things up and managed to just barely sneak into the MLF Natty cut!!! Definitely learned a lot these past couple weeks. Big thanks to everyone who helps make these events happen and the CU team for all the support!!

LETS WACK EM 🤟🤟🤟

Me and @eli_scroggins_bassfishing finally got it done today. After a great practice we had 15-9 which was good enough to get us 3rd!! The team had a great tournament with 4 more boats qualifying for the MLF natty. Shout out to @_brock_catlett_ and @corey_yarish for making it to heavy hitters on Sunday. Thank you to DonFranklin for getting us there in the team trucks and to @fishseaguar for hooking us up with the best line on the market to fight these smallies @gsmoutdoors @yamamoto_fishing @phenixrods @cubassfishing #whatisafogdelay

Ran by @donfranklinauto today and picked up the newest addition to the Campbellsville Bass Fishing truck fleet. We can’t express our appreciation for the great people there enough, and we are super thankful for the support they give the team.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a new ride, they are the absolute best in the business! Tell them we sent you.

For close to 30 years, I’ve watched David make a living doing what he loves, competing professionally at the highest level in a sport where very few ever get the opportunity to do it for that long, much less have the success he’s had along the way.
For all those years, tournaments meant David was the competitor. There were sponsors, travel, practice, preparation and a million other things that came with it, but when it came time to launch the boat, his job was to go compete. He was responsible for his decisions, his performance and getting where he needed to be.
These past few weeks, I’ve gotten to watch him head to some of those same lakes he’s competed on for years, only now in a completely different role.
This time he’s not the one trying to win. He’s the one responsible for 26 college anglers who are!
I’ve been able to be there for his first couple of tournaments as a college coach, and I think I’m starting to realize just how different this chapter really is. And more than once I’ve found myself thinking… I hope these young anglers realize what kind of coach they have.
I knew David had more than enough experience to coach them. What I don’t think I fully realized was just how much of himself he would put into everything else.
The phone calls. The sponsors. Finding opportunities for the team. Making sure boats and trucks are where they need to be. Traveling to the same lakes that he has competed at year after year after year.
And then there are the schedules. For almost 30 years, he only had to worry about getting himself where he needed to be and when. Now he’s keeping up with 26 college anglers, their schedules, boats, partners, meals, and everything that comes along with getting an entire team to a tournament.
I’ve watched him work harder behind the scenes for these college anglers than I think most of them will ever know. For almost 30 years, fishing was about David figuring out how to make himself better, make the right decisions, and compete at the highest level. Now I’m watching him take everything those years taught him and pour it into somebody else.
It’s definitely a different chapter.
And I think he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be!

Just wrapped up our first week of college fishing at Kentucky lake! This place was a grind to get bites every single day. Didn’t really have anything going for tourney day but did what we do best and locked a @outkasttackle black and blue jig in our hands and went to work! Ended up in 33rd and qualified for the national championship in February! So pumped! Big thank you to Virgil, @davidwalkerfishing and Misty for having a great place for us to stay and amazing food the whole week.

Had a good time fishing the Big Bass Bash too, big congrats to @landonpiercefishing and @macoy.johnson.fishing for finding some giants and finishing 12th overall. And congrats to @eli_scroggins_bassfishing for catching a 6 that got the team some awesome points! Can’t beat traveling and fishing with your best friends for a week, so blessed! Stay tuned for the YouTube videos coming up!

Had an awesome time at the @bassmasterhighschool Combine this weekend down in Decatur, Alabama. Enjoyed making so many connections with Colleges and other anglers. Glad to get my name out to some top notch teams and get information on each! Super excited to keep building these connections and continue working towards the next level! @fishhoglures @_ssoa_

The Tigers showed out for the 2026 @bassmasterhighschool Combine and so did the recruits.

Great people, great prospects, and hopefully a few future Tigers. 🤝

If you are a highschooler, there truly is nothing that compares to this event if you are looking to join the college scene. See you in 2027.
