I only count NY bass. I have a few over 8 from Florida, back in the 90s. No pic of my PB LMB, 7-2. Here's a 7-1, though: PB SMB, 5-12:

BAU

Only people that live in or have been to Rochester, NY will understand.

The "north end" for me really would be Canada!

I generally only throw 1/2 or 3/4 oz., so I don't really organize them. I use a tall 3700 Hydroflow box, and carry assorted head styles and colors. I'll reload it if I feel like I'm missing some color/size/head style.

My condolences. Sorry for your loss.

Agreed!

Amazing. Happy New Year!

Perfect pack rod for these things. You could also throw some wacky worms, and even rig a bobber and live bait for crappie if you like.

Yes, please.

My queen, searing the pork. Preamble.

Probably not, you right on that. I think the ones in the warmer water might give your bait a second look, though.

So, at 4 mph, which is pretty quick, that's 5 hours of paddling, at a minimum. Probably more like 6-7 hours. No thank you! When did you have time to fish?

I caught a ten pounder out of this pond in spring, but haven't caught anything since. How should I fish it?

Public launch at the City Dump (I-Bay) on a Sunday evening in summer. Grab a lawn chair and watch.

10mm or larger, though.

The double tunnel hull on the Commander 140/120 is very stable. With two seating options, seat and captan's perch, it's very comfortable to fish from and offers more stability than you'd ever need.

I used the OG Alphas for all my cranking sticks for years, without issue. 8# of drag is plenty, but you'll improve smoothness by upgrading to a Carbontex drag from Smooth Drags.

Any thread that ends in "GO!"

What's the best rod? I want to throw big swimbaits, micro cranks, and unweighted senkos. I also like to bobber fish for crappie. My scale broke. How much does this one weigh?

You have to be moving at least a few mph for SI/DI to paint a pretty picture. I rarely use it while fishing, preferring standard sonar/GPS split screen.

Fixed that for you.

Zero stretch fluorocarbon

Lame. Snap-on have better action. You'll get bit, though.
