Though the personal best catches were few this year, 2025 was still packed with unforgettable moments on the water. We landed some solid fish, tested out new gear, explored new locations, and even added new species to the channel along the way. Huge thank you to everyone who supported Poles and Paddles this year. Every view, comment, and share truly means the world. Special thanks to KastKing for creating premium, affordable equipment and clothing that help keep me on the water longer, and to Vibe Kayaks for always getting me there. Here’s to the memories made in 2025 and an even bigger year ahead. Looking forward to 2026!
