Happy thanksgiving to everyone.
2024 was a year to be extremely thankful for in my fishing career. Thanks to the Bass Angler Magazine, BAM Trail,I have been able to grow and succeed in accomplishing a few goals that I set 4 years ago when starting as a pro in Pro/Am events.
Going into this year, my main goal was to qualify for the Pro Tour, without knowing BAM would grow and form the Super 60. Through an amazing year with 2 top tenβs, a win, and 3rd in AOY points, I was able to qualify and set myself up for new goals and opportunities to expand myself and my career.
2024 BAM results
Through the ups and downs of an entire year on a pro/am circuit, it may not always be wins and great accomplishments but here are the event by event placings and achievements this year.

First top ten professionally

As I look forward to 2025, I realize how much there is to learn and experience in tournament fishing both on and off the water.
Boat wrap, jersey requirements, $10,000 in entry fees, travel costs, media, social media, professional conduct, and more are just some of the things required of me on the BAM Super 60 Pro Tour. Having to put together a sponsor portfolio and learning to do the things off the water is challenging. If anyone is interested in joining my sponsor portfolio, please let me know, I can send you a proposal.
I am excited and look forward to the challenge. To compete against some of the best anglers is an honor and a challenge that I am ready for.
Thank you for following along.
