I lost my mom 13 years next month. I can say through the years, my outlook on life changed and I hope she can see me now and know that I’ve been doing the best I can to be a better human being. Your pops taught you enough to be able to tell your viewers that they’re loved. Fishing I feel like is an underrated therapy.

A few years ago , I started experiencing some serious issues with PTSD and visions of what I saw while deployed, the strain of life , marriage and the painful memories of losing friends in combat really put me in a bad place mentally, So I fell back into a childhood passion of mine ( Fishing) something I grew up doing with my brothers, And I realized that with the right gear, mindset , a good jig and " GOD" as your guide life will get better, Bless You and your dad's memories, he's still with you in heaven !!!

My brother A Rudd yep that's what I'll call you when you, me and John Dalton finally meet one day, the witness is genuine. Losing both of my parents by age 40 was rough and dark. I'm glad you decided to keep Dad's boat and took it to a lake where you made memories. I may have stopped writing fishing and outdoor articles after Dad passed in 2010 but I didn't stop fishing or putting into practice lessons I was taught. A chapter had closed and another season began. The analogy of that tree rang true and God doesn't waste opportunities. Love you dude, keep being you. Your brother in Christ.

My brother got me into fishing again at the beginning of this year. I hadn’t fished since we were kids. (32 now) He unfortunately passed away in May. I’ve pretty much dedicated all my time to fishing now. I went from hardly knowing how to tie a knot to catching a 7lber this summer. Although I wish he was still here I know he’s always out there with me when I’m on the water. Thanks for all you do Alex. God bless

I soley focused on the jig bite last year but I started using the lightest jig possible, same bite as a ned rig, then moved up on weight. Also I found braid was better for bite detection as I could feel the bite on the fall. Everyone has a different method to reach the end goal- big bass! 👊🏼🎣

I lost my father a couple years ago and I was afraid that fishing was going to be hard without him, but it’s been the opposite it’s like I feel closer to him when I’m on the water. I have a necklace that has sone of his ashes in it and I only wear it when I’m fishing so that he is there with me. His favorite color plastic worm was blue so that’s the color the charm is.

Main difference is profile and rate of fall. The jig is going to have a different profile because of the skirt and slower rate of fall because the skirt and trailer create a lot more drag.
