Trying to get some big ones on the board! I’m really lagging on the MoYak July Online Challenge and went out hoping to get some 20 inchers. Spoiler … I didn’t get any huge ones, but I did move from 28th to 24th place. Bonus for you: lots of hilarious fails! I catch a log!…
New Fishing YouTube Channel
I’ve been really focused on fishing, and specifically kayak fishing, for the last two years. I’ve been recording more videos based around this so I created JPenney Fishing on YouTube. This channel will only have fishing and fishing related content: gear, trips, boats, kayaks, fishing reports, tournament recaps, etc. Any personal/family videos will go back…
LiteTackle Changed How I Fish
When I decided on the Crescent LiteTackle, I was so sure of what I wanted, that I bought modifications before I even had the kayak. Now, I’m rethinking some of those. In the 3 Water Big Fish 120 the seat was always in the high position. I used an anchor in conjunction with and Anchor…
Family Boating and Grandma Catches a Fish
Growing up, we went to the Lake of the Ozarks nearly every weekend during the summer. Grandma and Grandpa always had a boat and we would spend all day out on the water. We were either bar-hopping or just enjoying cruising around. That hasn’t been a regular thing for our family in a long time….
Ride Through Ward Park
Sawyer and I took a quick ride through Ward Park. This gave me an opportunity to test out my new Go Pro.

Technically, it’s still Linux as everything I’m doing is either Azure Functions in Python, Linux App Services, or Linux VMs. Given that this…
First Impressions on the Crescent Lite Tackle
With some things I’m always hunting. I’ve had 38 vehicles if that tells you anything about how my brain works. Since I started fishing, and then kayak fishing, I’m on my 6th boat! I have learned a ton about kayaks, paddling, rigging, and fishing from them. It’s been great to learn and this Crescent Lite…
Wonders of Wildlife
This past weekend, I had to drive down to Springfield to pick up my new (to me) kayak. I knew that I’d have the younger kids with me so I looked for something to do other than just drive there and back. The Wonders of Wildlife museum was the perfect choice! The layout and exhibits…
MoYak Lake of the Ozarks Recap
I had been scouting out launch areas for months. I kept coming back to a place I found on Google Earth. I spent the day before hanging out with Sawyer driving to a few other places. That evening, Sawyer, Mom, Grandma, and I went to checkout the spot I’d found. When I was describing where…
