I had the pleasure of fishing alongside young local angler Chase Stokes and my client John Johnson in the 30th Annual RedSnook Charity Tournament. We ended up finishing in 1st place, and Chase not only helped us secure the win but also emerged as the leading angler of the entire tournament.
This is one of the most prestigious events in the area, drawing over 100 experienced anglers from all around. To see a young talent like Chase out-fish such a skilled group of competitors was truly impressive.
He’s a rising star, and his performance in this tournament proved just how much potential he has. It was an honor to fish alongside him and witness his success.
