Head Softball Coach at Truman State University. This is my new account 2-10-23. I got locked out of my old one, and Twitter won't help me get back on to it.
I got to make 2 short trips out this past week. Last Sunday, my niece and brother in law made a quick stop for over 20 fish! Then yesterday, I had a couple hours to spare and managed a 24 fish myself. My medium light Rippin Lips rods make chasing eaters so much fun.
Had a couple of great days fishing and camping this weekend. Day 1, the girls caught over 50 fish and kept me very busy! Day 2, the guys focused on getting us a crappie dinner and nailed it. They caught over 30 and kept 28 that tasted delicious.
Kinda hard being at this field for any reason other than yo play for a state title!!! Still got in some good recruiting and saw some great softball today. @IGHSAUSoftball
Momma Killdeer is back. Last year we had a Killdeer nest on our Bulldog logo on the softball field. She is back and has laid 5 eggs in almost the same exact spot. @TrumanSoftball
Recruiting weekend. Iowa City Friday, Burlington Friday night, Oskaloosa Saturday, St. Louis today! There should be some good prospects here!!!
Our annual mothers day fishing trip was pretty epic. Close to 60 fish, 5 different species, 27 keeper crappie. Mom killed it.
Here in Northern Missouri, the crappie are shallow and aggressive. If you're struggling, try finding a rocky area and work a jig SLOW about 15-20 inches under a bobber. This is a 1/16 Oz Arkie with a monkey milk colored plastic.
Nice evening chasing Crappie. 62 degree water. Didn't expect them to be up on the bank but they were. Better planning by me and we would have hammered them. Like usual, Tiff out fished me!
So deserved. So proud!

Easter weekend was good to me fishing also! Caught 36 of these slabs in right at 2 hours. Tried to turn all the females back but kept enough males for a snack! Lemongrass colored plastic on a chartreuse 1/8oz bighead was the hottest ticket.
They think we are Easter Egg hunting. I say we are training to steal bases!!!
A big sweep for @TrumanSoftball today as they took two from Missouri S&T. Read More: trumanbulldogs.com/news/2025/4/13…
This was an ESPN worthy play in our game today! @TrumanSoftball @espn @ninafenasci @NCAASoftball
The crappie around here are still schooled up but very active. If you can get on the schools you can have a lot of fun right now!
Head Coach @Trisha_Ford tells a story she had with the freshman about the difference of having fun and working hard. @KBTXNews @AggieSoftball
Proud coach moment. Nina was on fire last weekend, and she got rewarded.
