🏆 TOP 10 IN THE CAPE LOOKOUT SHOOTOUT SOUTHERN DIVISION! 🏆

What an incredible run, and we couldn’t be more proud of what this team accomplished!

After two tough qualifying legs, Team Rigged & Ready finished 10th Overall in the 2026 Cape Lookout Shootout Southern Division, earning our spot in the Championship in Morehead City, NC later this fall!

We were consistent all season, finishing 9th Place in Leg 1 and 9th Place in Leg 2, proving that consistency pays off when you’re competing against some of the best king mackerel teams on the East Coast.

This doesn’t happen without an awesome crew.

A huge thank you to:
👏 Jeremy Ridenhour of Coastal Carolina Construction for your continued support and dedication to our team.
👏 My right-hand man, Jack Watson. Watching your growth has been incredible, and I couldn’t be prouder. You’re well on your way to becoming Captain Jack Watson, and I know big things are ahead for you.

Now it’s time for the next challenge!

This weekend we’ll be jumping into the Northern Series Leg 1 aboard Team Blue Water Candy, where we’ll have the opportunity to compete against many of the top king mackerel teams in North Carolina and and a few from down the East Coast. We’re excited, humbled, and ready to see how we stack up.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the season—our families, friends, sponsors, customers, and everyone cheering us on. Your encouragement means more than you know.

The work isn’t finished yet…

🎣 See you in Morehead City for the Championship!
