July 19, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

The 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash is done and dusted… and we’re unpacking everything.


From the planning to the end result. This is the full story of our comp. We break down the decisions that mattered, the techniques that consistently put quality fish in the boat, the mistakes we made, and the moments that completely changed the outcome of our weekend.


We cover the general run through of the epic week that we had, how we approached the competition from start to finish.

The conditions and how they influenced every decision.

The turning points that made or broke a session.

The sounder, bait and drift strategies we relied on.

Lure selection, plastics, jighead weights and retrieves that produced.

What didn’t work (and why).

The biggest lessons we’ll be taking into next year’s Bash.

Competition tactics, mindset and more.


Whether you fished the Snapper Bash, are planning on entering next year, or just want to become a better snapper angler, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can apply on your next trip.
