Does fishing 20mi offshore count as "Backcountry" ...no roads and we were alone, not another fisherman in sight. We put another 14 dolphin in the ice. We are going back to Kentucky with about 110lbs of filets. #kybha #publicwaterowner
Well a lot of people wonder what a real trophy pic looks like... well about 70lbs of Mahi and Wahoo over 2 days in the freezer is a trophy pic to me. Plus, I think I just took the family Mahi trophy from my lovely wife who has held it for 14yrs. Toda
Stocking up on our pelagic meat this week with my bestest friend for the last 26yrs @mrsabell Good first day. The ocean is all public y'all #publicwater #lifeisgood
Friends, meet the KYBHA Scholar for 2021-2022 @jordan.mcginty. We are blessed to have yet another exceptionally well qualified student win our scholarship. The future's so bright we gotta wear shades #mentoring #buildbridges @kentuckybha

The annual statewide in-person #kybha meeting went great. Bylaws adjusted, 3yr plan updated, and event plans rolling. Campout, campfire, bbq, and good times were also part of the program. Just one problem... our pet squirrel won't give my BHA bourbon
The annual in-person leadership meeting of the #KYBHA Board of Directors where we do the hard stuff of 3yr planning and adjusting our bylaws etc. is tomorrow at my farm. But a bunch of the crew is showing up tonight for a #bha style campfire. I got i

My buddy @dkelsmith2 posted a picture of his Dad on Father's Day. We were talking about how much effort the Army put into these basic training photos in the 1960s. Pretty cool to see my Dad back when he was young and strong. #goarmybeatnavy @bha_arme
Mission complete. 71 river miles and 3 portages in 3 days. We have a helluvan AAR to help us get ready for an even bigger trip or even a race next year. #goarmybeatnavy #publicwaterowner #kybha
A young whitetail swimming the Kentucky River right in front of us. We know they do it all the time, but don't see it much. We've also seen dozens of wood ducklings, eagles, kingfishers, a swan, countless herons, muskrat, and some other deer. Good ti
Boat paddle for a kitchen counter, sleeping on a sandbar below the high water line, and eating with a big spoon ain't nothing for a couple ol'Colonels who went to Ranger School in the last century. Bank was slippery with gumbo mud for miles. We were
Well so we are making good time = good news. Hitting another lock in the same day for a 2nd portage =bad news. The super awesome part is that we had to carry our canoes down about 400yds of county road as part of the portage. Two loaded logging truck
First mission of the day, portage lock 3. This is my first long paddling trip in years. Couple early lessons learned. Paddling is still fun. Portaging still sucks. Mission complete. Plus/minus 27mi yesterday #portagingsucks #publicwaterowner #kybha
Waking up outdoors is an unexplainable joy. Wet mud and grass between my toes as I sip the best coffee in the world. Why does coffee taste so much better at sunrise on a riverbank or mountainside? Same recipe at home and it ain't even close. #public
