Just off the US Open on Lake Mead — that place is massive. You can’t cover it all during practice.
That’s where the Coros Nomad Voice Pin comes in clutch to build a game plan.
Catch a fish? Hit the button and talk: “2.5lb smallie on a jig next to this rock pile.” Exact GPS + your notes saved so you can go right back and put that fish in the well during the tournament.
Shortens the learning curve and puts you on more fish — local lake or big tournament.

See you on the water. 🎣

The 2026 US Open on Lake Mead is in the books! Finished 28th with the help of a rally bag on Day 2, including a 4.89 lb kicker that held up for 3rd Big Fish!

Even better, got to spend the week with family and make some great memories on the water. Can’t beat that!

Thank you so much to my sponsors for getting me out here and keeping me on the water with the best equipment on the market!

The 43rd annual Won Bass US Open is a wrap, finished up in 10th and had a great time on one of my favorite fisheries. The tournament was cut down to 2 days due to weather, would have loved to have 3 full days but that’s the name of the game. Congratulations to Justin Kerr, couldn’t have happened to a better dude ! The low water made it a tricky Lake Mead but targeting shallow flats with grass and rock got it done this week. I relied on my Garmin perspective mode to show me key details in these zones.

First @wonbass US OPEN is in the books! I had the privilege to fish with some amazing anglers, back at lake mead!

Day one was a good start, managing a limit tossing around a topwater walking bait and a senko to give us 9.03lbs and sitting in 44th place.

Day two was a turn of events, a weather storm was rolling in and made the tournament a two day shoot out. My boater and I had a rough go and managed to catch 3 fish before the trolling motor died with 3 hours still to fish and bad weather made it nearly impossible for us to fish, unfortunate seek of events but it’s apart of fishing. Ended up 107 out 177. Absolutely love this place, looking forward to coming back! On to the next!

3 in a row and 4 in 5 years. Stoked to come out of the @wonbass US Open with another Angler of the Year title and my 4th straight Top 10 finish, ending up 7th

It felt great to be back on Mead for this tournament, especially having grown up fishing there. Trolling motor on high and burning topwater for two straight days was a great change of pace from Mohave.

I was really appreciative of my dad on Day 2, who always taught me to fish the day at Lake Mead. After a tough morning, we decided to run into a new zone where I hadn’t gotten bit in practice, but the weather was right. My co-angler and I ended up having the most fun I’d had all week, catching and throwing back a couple of limits with nobody around.

Big thank you to my wife @lanamarina for holding it down at home while I’m gone!

And thank you to @rangerboats and @mercurymarine for making the best boats and motors in the business. You can’t win AOY if you’re dealing with boat issues, and my equipment has been flawless for years.

@stcroixrods and @daiwausa, thank you for all the support over the years! And a big thank you to Bridgford Foods for sponsoring Angler of the Year. I’m extremely appreciative of their support and everything they do for the anglers and this sport!

My first US open as a boater …….Well it definitely didn’t go the way we had hoped. Day 1 decided to go for it and head to my go to spot. Super long run but usually worth it… Saw plenty of bait, life and tons of grass. Probably the most picture perfect spot you could pick, but no serious action. Dinks galore nothing over 13”. Had to respond to a boat explosion a pleasure craft was on the bank with two adults we noticed the smoke after hearing an explosion and saw the fireball, my co and I had to lose about 45 minutes as no cell service responding to get help……
Day 2 made plans for adjustments but couldn’t get to where I wanted the water was a bit sporty, bounced into a cove with 1 other boat again the smallie bite started but 12.5” all day. All in all I learned a lot not just about my hometown lake when it gets heavy pressure what the fish do, but the whole process starting as boater can be a bit overwhelming but got through it all. I had confidence in my baits @looselipslures and @defensebaitandtackle my weights worked great from @tungstenedge, @strikeforce_fishing kept the bite going even when they weren’t wanting to bite. Capturing it all @myyolotek and keeping everything organized and stored @fishboardsnc and always protecting and storing @6thsensefishing Congratulations to @justinkerrfishing on an amazing win and to all the local anglers. @wonbass and @hooked_on_thriving putting on the greatest bass show, this event is truly an amazing event.
