Workout Day 5 for me on this one. Seemed like I had good energy and tried to keep time between sets down a bit. So as soon as I was recovered and ready, I'd hammer out the next set. Adds some intensity to the training, without adding resistance. Like most winter months, I'm working on progressively getting a little stronger each workout. But us Senior citizens need to take it slow. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Let's not jinx it ~ I still have to rob at least 2 more Quik Marts to help cover the air fare. A-Jay

Done ~ Thank for the heads up. A-Jay

And SUCH a Great Bass Pic Too ! Love The Smile. See you really are a man of genius. I knew it. A-Jay

OK genius. Now how about putting a bass in the avatar pic ? What the heck . . . . . A-Jay

I am about 25 / 75 at this point. And the 75 is the crash & burn percentage. #glidebaits But the few times I do get it right, especially recently, it's been pretty Epic. So I tell myself "it's worth trying" I have learned that I am willing to give whatever it is at at least a couple of seasons before I bail on it completely. A few times I've had success with deals in places and in a manner not original thought of. I hate the term "think outside the box" but it certainly applies in those few cases. Winners include the A-Rig, vibrating jigs and a few jerkbaits. Either way, despite selling some of it off, I still have a decent level of deals labeled "Pending" which could mean anything is possible. A-Jay

Strangely, mine do too. And a 2nd & 3rd set didn't help matters any. 😎 A-Jay

As I said, The Dog X is a small bait relatively speaking; especially for a walking bait. And it has it's place in calm, quiet, super flat conditions. However, my bait of choice for plus sized Brown bass on topwater is the SK Sexy Dawg and has been for a while. It fishes well is stuff the Dog X will not (a little wind & some wave action) More recently The Hard Knock version has been very good as well. Late summer and early fall screams topwater here and a full sized bait draws the attention of the fish I'm looking for. https://youtu.be/sOBk7MV01o8?feature=shared&t=103 A-Jay

@TnRiver46 I really do appreciate the support. Thank you Sir. A-Jay

Does Blinky Count ? A-Jay

Ok ~ as a veteran Fitness person, I've had to adapt my diet in may ways to compensate for my declining - - - Well everything. Including my ability to recover and even how much food I can effectively digest/assimilate at a time. My 'secret move' is to have a protein drink in the middle of the night. Like 1-2 AM. I make sure I have a Big H2O before bed, which all but guarantees me of the the need to get up and use the head about that time. I make the drink before retiring and just down it before I go back to bed. The extra 40 grams of protein has been a Huge benefit as I was finding it tough to get what I needed during normal waking hours. Drink is made with 1/2 2% milk and 1/2 water. Something to think about. A-Jay

My wife is on a very strict diet and has regular appointments with a nutritionist. Lynn needs sufficient quality protein every day. The nutritionist recommends ProCel Protein Supplement Ready-To-Mix Powder, Unflavored. The VA supplies it for us. It's mixes easily into anything & everything hot or cold and is a great way to get the protein needed. A-Jay

What's Bass fishing ? A-Jay

Going into Workout Day 3 I felt like I was ready. Tried to take advantage of it best I could. Rack Pulls for reps always gets my attention. #borninfiftynine A-Jay
