Thomas Hit ListTook Gracelyn out after that noisy old gobbler this morning. We called in that big old bird and had him strutting and gobbling inside 20 yards for over 15 minutes, but she could never get a clear shot. It brought back great memories of hunting with my older kids at that age. Comments Off on Thomas Hit List
Shooting
Today we finally saw some sunshine at my home in southern Ohio and we took full advantage of it. I spent much of the morning at my house with my producer, Jim, and editor, Larry, along with some of the folks from American Modern Insurance shooting a new commercial for them. It went very well.

Hosting UMF
One question that I get a lot from our Ultimate Match Fishing fans is “Isn’t it hard to just stand there and watch (I feel like I do a little more than just watch) while the anglers catch all those fish in UMF?” Well, the answer to that question is pretty simple: heck yeah, it’s tough! I love to fish, so when they are whacking them I can hardly stand it! Comments Off on Hosting UMF
Roy versus LaneSpotted bass dominated again on Lake Lanier in our UMF Match between 19 year old Elite Series Rookie of the Year Bradley Roy and Elite Series seven year veteran Russ Lane. I could nor have been happier with this week’s matches and how Lake Lanier fished. It will make some great TV! Comments Off on Roy versus Lane
Match Five
Match 5 of Ultimate Match Fishing on Lake Lanier is now in the history books! Elite Series Anglers David Walker and Tim Horton put on quite a show. The water temps on Lanier continue to rise and the bass are quickly vacating the spawning beds, but fishing is still very good. One more match tomorrow and then I get to head home!

Exciting!
Ok, I know I’m sounding like a broken record but yesterday was another great UMF Match! Our competitors were Scott Suggs from the FLW Tour vs. Dustin Wilkes from the Postmaster Elite Series. It came down to the wire and was super exciting to watch. UMF: Another Great MatchWe had another great UMF Match on Lanier today between Anthony Gagliardi and Gerald Swindle. G-man kept my crew laughing all day with his one liners and “Swindlisms”. Big FishToday’s UMF Match between Bryan Thrift and Aaron Martins was awesome! Lots of big fish caught! Should make an outstanding episode. UMF: The Winner Is….Today was the first day of Ultimate Match Fishing. Our competitors, Tom Mann Jr. and Dan Moorehead, slugged it out on Lake Lanier until the very end. The bass here are in a transition stage just coming off the spawn. Our match was very close but in the end…… Oh, you didn’t think I would actually let that out, did ya? UMF Boat Prep
I started my day in Chattanooga meeting with the owners of Chattanooga Sun and Fun Marine. They are taking care of our UMF boats, so I wanted to stop in and day hello and make sure the boats were in order and ready for my guys to pick up later in the afternoon to transport the to Lake Lanier. |
