After submitting my application earlier this year, I\u2019ve officially been welcomed onto the <strong>Costa Pro Team<\/strong>. Costa is a leader in performance eyewear, and their gear is trusted by anglers worldwide. I\u2019m looking forward to representing them both on and off the water, and I can\u2019t wait to showcase their sunglasses during my guided trips and content this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa\u2019s motto, <em>#SeeWhatsOutThere<\/em>, fits perfectly with what I do every day guiding across Central Texas \u2014 helping clients experience new lakes, spot more fish, and create unforgettable memories. Their sunglasses don\u2019t just look good, they give a real performance edge by cutting glare and protecting your eyes during long days in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Costa is a Big Deal for Me Personally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll admit something a lot of people who know me already know: I\u2019ve <strong>never been one to spend money on premium eyewear<\/strong>. For years I told myself I wasn\u2019t \u201cresponsible enough\u201d to own high-end sunglasses. I\u2019d lose them, break them, or scratch them up. So I stuck to $20 pairs \u2014 not because I didn\u2019t believe premium eyewear was worth it, but because I didn\u2019t trust myself to keep them in one piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, though, I\u2019ve noticed I\u2019ve developed better habits. I\u2019ve held onto my last few pairs for much longer, including a pair of Costas gifted to me by a client that I still wear. Somewhere along the way, I guess I finally got responsible enough to \u201chave nice things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s part of why joining the Costa Pro Team means so much to me. I know the value their sunglasses bring on the water, and I\u2019m excited to finally represent a brand that I once thought was out of reach for me \u2014 in more ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Sponsor News: 1st Gen Fishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to joining Team Costa, I\u2019m also pleased to announce that my renewed agreement with <strong>P-Line<\/strong> now extends to their affiliated brand <strong>1st Gen Fishing<\/strong>. 1st Gen is a newer name in the industry but already producing a great lineup of <strong>jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and swimbait heads<\/strong>. I\u2019m excited to have the chance to incorporate their tackle into my guided trips and showcase their gear in my content this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These new partnerships, alongside my existing sponsors \u2014 <strong>Bass Pro Shops\/Nitro Boats, Ardent, and P-Line<\/strong> \u2014 mean I\u2019ll be better equipped than ever to put clients on fish and keep sharing more great content. I\u2019m grateful to each of these companies for their support, and I\u2019m looking forward to what\u2019s ahead this season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m excited to share some big sponsor news!
