In the updated Big Bass Zone, I dive deep into a concept most anglers completely miss in winter: The Predator’s Winter Calculus. It’s not about metabolism; it’s about energy efficiency.

"If you're the type who thinks your tech and tackle have you dialed in—ego armored up—stop reading now. This isn't for you. But if you've ever replayed a missed strike and wondered 'why,' then lean in. This is the deeper dive you've been missing. The edge that defined my life wasn't in my box; it was in my mind."

As we stand on the brink of 2026, I find myself doing what many of us do—looking back at the year that’s closing, not with a scorecard, but with a heart that’s felt a lot.

Merry Christmas to my incredible friends, family, and sponsors!
