Congratulations to Kissel Krafts angler Trace Antunes and his partner Garrett Ring on securing the win at Sam Rayburn today. Got us a “W” quicker that we could announce that he’s joined our team. Guessing the weapons he picked up last week from us were good luck.
Shout out to Daylon Milam and James DuBose for another top 30. Those gents are hot as a firecracker as well. Proud of both teams and their successes in 2026 so far.
