Catch of the Week: Memorial Weekend
Before I get to this week’s catch, I want to pause and thank all my brothers and sisters in service—past and present. May God bless you on your mission, protect you wherever you are, and bring you home safely. Your sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy the freedom of weekends on the water. God bless America, now and always.
Now, about this fish! Memorial Weekend on the Stillwater brought me a true blessing—a beautiful brown trout, what we call a “headwater fish.” For those new to the term, that’s a fish caught in those peaceful, glassy waters just before the river picks up and the rapids roar. There’s something about those moments of calm—where you can feel God’s presence in the quiet, the sunlight, and the wild beauty all around.
I’m truly grateful for every chance to be out here, surrounded by God’s incredible creation—chasing adventure, finding peace, and soaking in the blessings that come with each new day on the water. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of God’s goodness, His presence in both the calm and the chaos, and the grace He shows us in every cast.
That’s what Big Brother Fishing Co. is all about. It’s not just about catching fish—it’s about living out our faith, building real fellowship, and giving thanks for every sunrise, every memory, and every day we’re given.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” — James 1:17
Tight lines and God bless,
