 You know these events, you know, they'll wear you out and You know one thing, you know, I want to do You know, I'm one to achieve my dreams. I'm one to put forth the effort a hundred percent effort hundred ten percent hundred twenty percent to succeed You know going out here on these practice days, you know, they can be tough. They can be tough on you You know either it can boost your confidence or you know, it can crush you and You know these type of days that you go through I had a lot of crazy stuff happen When I'm at this lake when I'm out when y'all Bay or River or whatever you'd like to call it and you know first day we're going all the way to the Cooper River taken out of the tournament taken out of and You know where we're going it's almost a two-hour drive on boat Cooper rivers where most of the big bass are caught, you know Most of those pros that are doing good in the events that's where they went because those are where those where those big fish are and So we were gonna go up there first day. We're gonna practice. We're gonna try to find those spots We're gonna try to find those fish. We're gonna put us on the pattern to win because keep in note This is a three-day tournament. It's not about you know, just going up catching your fish if the saver your fish Consistent you can't go beat up your fish So we Heading up the Cooper River, you know once we get there I have to get gas, you know, I'm almost out of gas We're not even there yet, you know, we're about an hour 45 minutes an hour 30 minutes in I have to stop to get some gas out of Marina and you know, one of my buddies called me Fishing team goes, you know, I double-checked the rules You know that side of the river's off limits You know at that point, you know, that that's that's a great lesson learned But it's something that you know hurts me inside, you know, I was like Gosh, you know, I just wasted this whole day because then I'm off to drive another two hours back And the craziest part is is we're driving around, you know Cooper River We're in Charleston, South Carolina. We're so far up and literally I'm probably about an hour from the Savannah River I could literally wrap myself back around and I'm just seeing dolphins swim by You know Seeing all kinds of stuff. I'm in saltwater and just work my way up to the Cooper River So it's how to turn our butts around and You know head back to some other productive areas that we could actually fish And you know after you know all this crazy stuff's happening, you know, we got we got to do something We still have a little bit of time of the day So, you know, we hiked back those two hours, um, we didn't have a choice Passing all kinds of big old ships and only if I had some of the footage, you know, if I could go back I would definitely film a lot more stuff So we had to make a decision, you know, we traveled the one area by the Santy River and We fished for a few hours and I've never fished a place like this and I was looking around me You know, there's there's just a lot of stuff that just looked weird. You know, I'm pretty positive. It's fishin in that area There's not even bass You know, it finally clicked after a while and I was like, I got to get out of here We traveled up the South Santy River Went up that way found a lot of cool stuff for like, you know, we're so far up this river Yeah, like this is where bass are gonna be it's where freshwater fish are gonna be You know caught a few I'm nothing special but Definitely found out that area got about an hour in that area. The problem was going up that South Santy We went up that thing about an hour and you know driving at this point. I've gone through almost over two tanks of gas you know one day and You know, that's you that's just it's a lesson learned Something that's just gonna make you a better angler and make you strong That was our first day practice Had to Find a good area, which I really like the South Santy All right, Sean, which is my fishing partner. I was like, we're gonna go up there South Santy It's in Jamestown. We're gonna drive up there. So we don't have to do this long run And put in there and figure out a pattern to find these fish You know after fishing, you know The first couple of hours we went back in this cut the slew and it leads way back It's like a whole nother chain, you know And it pushes back it's really dangerous out the idle through it. You know, there's a lot of stumps just a lot of dangerous stuff and That's how to do that to get back to where I was wanting to go because you know this area looked really good it looked like there's a little pond back there and I just knew there would be some bass back there and you know, we finally got back there started fishing and Finally hooked into some fish, you know, they weren't they weren't small because these river fish, you know, it's just These fish, you know, you're gonna want those ones that are like two pounds and over That's around what these fish were. We're finally finding them or catching them. You know, we're like, all right, let's just stop We don't need to catch it anymore So right after that, you know, we got out of there just trying to find some new areas Produce some more patterns and find some more fish
