When Brotherhood Meets Bite Work 💥🐕🇺🇸

At Knot Lucky, we believe in showing up for each other — no matter what that looks like. This week, we joined our brother Chris, a Purple Heart veteran and phenomenal protection dog trainer, for an unforgettable training session.

You all know Eric — and of course he volunteered to wear the bite suit. The star of the day was Hugo, a Belgian Malinois with insane power and control. Even through the suit, Hugo left some deep bruises, and Eric laughed saying, “It’s like getting hit by a truck!” 💪🏾🐾

Moments like these remind us what family really means. At Knot Lucky, we help each other in any way we can — whether it’s catching a fish, putting on a bite suit to help a buddy’s business, or sitting beside someone in their darkest time.

That’s brotherhood. That’s One Love. 💙🇺🇸🎣🦈🤙🏾

🎣💥 “When the Ocean Hands You a Freight Train…” 💥🎣

The last time I was out on the water with my best friend Ryan, we hooked into an absolute beast — a Jack Crevalle. 💪🏽🔥 If you’ve ever tangled with one of these powerhouses, you know they don’t go down easy. They hit like a freight train, fight like they’re twice their size, and refuse to quit until every ounce of your strength is tested. 💥🐟

💡 Fun fact: Jack Crevalle are known for their incredible stamina and brute strength. They often swim in schools of hundreds, and when they strike, they can reach speeds over 40 mph. That’s part of what makes them one of the hardest-fighting fish in the ocean — pound for pound, they’re pure muscle and heart. 🌊⚡️

Now I want to see YOUR catches! 👇🏽
Drop a photo of your most memorable catch — whether it’s a Jack, a redfish, or anything in between — in the comments below. Let’s fill this thread with epic fishing memories. 📸🐠💙

One love 💙🫶🏽🇺🇸🎣🦈🤙🏽

🇺🇸💛 Gold Star Mother & Family Day – We Will Never Forget 💛🇺🇸

Today, we honor the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends who carry the weight of an unimaginable loss — the loss of a hero who never came home.

I think of the Wrights, the Candelos, the Harios, the Dahlkes, the Penys, the Papes — and so many others — whose sons, daughters, and loved ones gave everything they had on distant battlefields. The weight they carry is a burden no family should ever bear alone, yet they do so with strength, grace, and unwavering love.

There will always be political debates and questions about America’s involvement in the Middle East. But make no mistake — these warriors died protecting freedom, eliminating threats that could not be negotiated with, and defending a nation they believed in. Their sacrifice was not in vain.

To the Gold Star families: you are forever part of our Ranger and 1/2 SCR family. Your sons and daughters are remembered not only for how they died, but for how they lived — with courage, conviction, and a love of country that will echo for generations.

We speak their names. We carry their stories. We honor their sacrifice. And we promise — we will never forget.

🕯️ One Love. RLTW. 🇺🇸🪖🦅

The Loudest Voices Are Often the Emptiest Echoes 🧘🏾‍♂️🌍

With everything happening in the world — the hate, the division, the chaos — never forget this simple truth: you control your thoughts and your actions. 💭✋🏾

It’s easy to get sucked into the negativity online. But here’s a powerful mindset shift👇🏾: look closely at the people shouting the loudest, the ones trying to force their opinions on the world. Then ask yourself — what real-world experience do they have to back it up?

Most of the time, you’ll find they’re projecting their own unhappiness. Rather than facing their pain and taking responsibility, they point fingers outward — and that cycle is often something they learned and passed down.

🌟 Here’s the truth: You can’t control the world. But you can control how you show up in it. Choose peace. Surround yourself with people who radiate love, growth, and goodness. And above all, build your happiness from the inside out.

One love 💙🫶🏾🇺🇸🎣🦈🤙🏾

From Warzones to Healing Waters 🌊🇺🇸

Everyone knows I love taking veterans out on the water. The only thing I love more is when they bring their kiddos along!

Chris Henry was severely injured during the first Sadr City uprising in Iraq. He and I first crossed paths years ago, when I was just getting started with chartering. Chris actually launched our YouTube channel back then! At the time, both of us were very early in our healing journeys.

Life took us down different paths for a while, but here we are today—back together, stronger, and evolving every single day. This time, Chris brought his amazing son Caleb along for the ride.

If you’re in a dark place, don’t give up. Keep pushing. Lean on those who love you. Chris and I are living proof that it works.

One Love 🫶🏾💙🇺🇸🎣🦈🤙🏾

🕯️ Honoring Our Fallen 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember four American service members who lost their lives in a tragic helicopter crash. Their names may differ, their backgrounds unique, but their stories share the same threads—duty, courage, and an unshakable willingness to serve something greater than themselves.

Each one of them had a life beyond the uniform. They were sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and friends. They laughed, they dreamed, and they carried hopes for the future. And yet, they answered the call to serve, knowing the risks, because they believed in protecting the freedoms we hold dear.

When a helicopter goes down, it’s more than just a machine lost—it’s a hole torn through the fabric of families, units, and communities. The empty chairs at dinner tables, the silence where their voices should be—those absences will be felt forever.

To the families and loved ones: please know your heroes will not be forgotten. Their sacrifice is woven into the history of our nation and into the hearts of everyone who understands the cost of freedom.

As we carry on, may we honor their memory not just in words but in the way we live our lives—with purpose, with gratitude, and with love for one another.

Rest easy, warriors. We’ll carry the weight from here. 🇺🇸🕊️

The Ocean May Not Always Give You What You Want… But It Will Always Give You What You Need 🌊💙

Some days the ocean gives you fish, some days it gives you peace. Both are a blessing. One love. 🌊💙

And here’s the truth: saltwater cures all.
— Tears, when we finally let go of pain.
— Sweat, when we process it in the gym.
— Mother Ocean, when she touches our soul.

No matter how it comes, healing is always within reach.

What does the ocean give you when you need it most? 🌊💙

Violence Is Not the Answer—Love Is 🇺🇸❤️

This week hit me hard after the Charlie Kirk shooting. In 2025 we’ve already seen 8 school shootings, Minnesota’s House Speaker and her husband assassinated, and innocent people stabbed to death just for who they are.

I’ve said for years—America is a utopia. Things are so good here most don’t know what real evil is. That’s a blessing. But violence is creeping into our homes, politics, and faith.

As an Army Ranger, I knew violence better than most. We hunted the worst men on Earth—and some of us even enjoyed it. For years I wrestled with that truth. Healing with ibogaine, ayahuasca, and 5-MEO finally showed me: God gave me that violence only to protect the vulnerable.

What most don’t understand: real violence isn’t a meme or a protest chant. I was fighting by 11, nearly beaten to death by 20, shot at, blown up, and took lives in combat. And like every man who’s lived it—I don’t want it near the people I love.

So when I hear people calling for civil war or revenge, I’ll tell you straight: you don’t want it. Most couldn’t survive the first day.

The media wants us hating neighbors over politicians we’ll never meet. That’s madness. Instead, show compassion. Talk out differences—or keep them to yourself.

Violence doesn’t discriminate. But love does heal.

One Love 💙🇺🇸🎣🦈🤙🏾🫶🏾
