Nice Bass ~ Congrats A-Jay

When I select any bait that is accompanied by a trailer, I need to feel confidant about the combination. When I do that, I'll often fish it better. Meaning I am expecting to get bites. "Matching" the trailer color to the bait is one way, as is selecting a matching, size, a matching profile and a matching action. Either way, I am a Trailer Using Freak and love finding productive combinations. A-Jay

Nice Done Sir ! Congrats A-Jay

The new Garmin units can operate at either 36 V or 24 V. When running at 24 V it delivers 80lbs of thrust and 100lbs at 36 volts. A-Jay

No, I don't plan my fishing solely around barometric pressure. Instead, it seems to be one piece of the puzzle that comes into play 'some how'. What that is and how if effects my fishing I haven't quite figured out. In fact, I don't know anyone who truly has. I will say that when I am selecting days I hope to be big fish days, several other environmental factors beyond the BP, seem to effect my results more then BP. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/211811-brown-bass-tools-~-questions-answers/?do=findComment&comment=2893464 A-Jay

Congrats on the New rig ~ ! IMO, If you're running the Force unit, the 100 lbs of thrust you'll get at 36 V vs the 80 lbs offered by 24 v will be a welcome addition on your new and heavier rig. Which depending on the motor you have, a full fuel tank, live well, gear & angler(s) will be pushing 2700 lbs. Compare that to the 16 footer and that's a decent increase. You'll welcome the added thrust in Wind & Waves and if & when quick close quarters maneuvering is required. "My trolling motor has too much thrust" said no one ever. Good Luck. A-Jay

Workout Day 3 this morning. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

I replaced this mostly Useless OE trailer jack wheel. With this ABT Lures Trailer Jack Skate Totally the way to go. Designed to make tight space maneuverability on a hard smooth surface much easier while eliminating hook up frustration. I can position my rig anywhere in the garage with ease. Also use it to bring the boat to your truck for hook up. It's stupid easy. I remove the pin and put it in the GMC for travel and do not install it again until I get home. Heavy Duty 11 inch Triangular Jack Skate System 6061 Grade Aluminum 525 lb weight capacity Heavy Duty Urethane Wheels w/ swivel casters & a brake. Zinc Coated Multiple Bearings Swivel Casters A-Jay

The 18 ft Lund is on a single and with the 505 lb motor, full tank of fuel, four 31M Batteries & gear, that's about all I want on just 2 wheels. Tows great but I'd imagine it's at the top end of it's abilities. I needed the single due to garage space & maneuverability by hand once it's in there. If I were to go any longer, regardless of hull material, I'd need a bigger storage space but I'd go tandem trailer with a good suspension & brakes. btw - a galvanized trailer is really the way to go IMO. Especially if you're planning on keeping it for the long haul. Good Luck A-Jay

I am going with 8.79 on your ATS scale. I don't have the newest or most electronics. But I'm really confident and effective with what I've got. Come at me Bro A-Jay

My wife goes all in on getting nesting photo's this time of year. We have several different families all going at the same time This was from yesterday in one of the Blue Jay nests #busymom A-Jay

Hope you guy got a bunch of trophies. Waiting on the annual report. A-Jay

Seems I am the complete opposite. A-Jay

Workout Day 2 and it ended up being a mid-day deal. Still prefer training earlier in the day but I was able to motivate this old bag of bones to get it done. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

@Scott F Filling a tank to 100% is not a good Idea. When it comes to filling propane tanks, it's important to adhere to the 80% filling rule. The 80% Filling Rule Explained: The 80% filling rule stipulates that propane tanks should not be filled beyond 80% of their total capacity. This means leaving a 20% vapor space at the top of the tank. For example, if you have a 20-pound propane tank, it should only be filled with approximately 16 pounds of propane. Safety Considerations: The 80% filling rule is primarily a safety measure. Propane, like any other gas, expands as its temperature rises. By leaving room for expansion, the vapor space acts as a buffer to accommodate the propane's expansion and prevent excessive pressure build-up within the tank. This helps minimize the risk of tank ruptures or other hazardous situations. Preventing Overfilling: Overfilling a propane tank can lead to several safety issues. When a tank is filled to 100% capacity, there is no room for expansion, and the pressure inside the tank can exceed safe limits, potentially resulting in leaks, valve malfunctions, or even explosions. Adhering to the 80% filling rule ensures that propane tanks have adequate space to accommodate expansion, preventing these risks. Optimizing Propane Usage: The 80% filling rule not only promotes safety but also maximizes propane usage efficiency. Leaving the vapor space allows the propane to vaporize and provide a steady flow of gas to appliances. You can measure the propane you have left in your tank thanks to our Flame King Gauges and Smart Propane Scale Compliance and Regulatory Standards: The 80% filling rule is not just a recommended practice; it is mandated by regulatory agencies to maintain safety standards. Propane distributors and refill stations are obligated to follow this rule to ensure compliance with regulations and provide safe propane services to customers. Adhering to the 80% filling rule for propane tanks is a critical safety practice that should be followed without exception. By leaving a 20% vapor space, the rule allows for expansion, preventing overpressure and potential hazards. Additionally, it promotes optimal propane usage, ensuring efficient combustion and consistent performance. Remember, safety should always be the top priority when handling propane, and following the 80% filling rule is an essential step in maintaining a safe and reliable propane system. A-Jay

Nice Rig Congrats ! A-Jay

Dude ! Nicely done. It's not like you didn't earned those mutants or anything. 😎 Knew it was only a matter of time. Congrats Brother A-Jay

Man, this is a loaded question @Team9nine and you know it ! Certainly, when we've fished long enough, we've all had something that resembles both of these scenarios. Locally, the most of the waters I fish offer good visibility, sometimes it's too good. So in my case, I've lost my fair share of big fish that I did see and some that I didn't; but imagine that they were pretty decent. That includes a few different species; musky, pike, trout, walleye and of course brown & green bass. However, I do not believe that I've ever lost a fish that I did manage to see that was Bigger than anything I've actually landed; except One. I hooked a Freak of a Musky a few springs ago that sure looked like it dwarfed anything I've manage to land. Swallowed a 1.5 square bill boat side and bit me off. I'd have never landed it by myself anyway as I don't keep the right gear needed in the Lund. Just as well. But it was big. However on the other end on the spectrum, while fishing south of the border a few years back, I hooked into 'something' that just about ripped the rod right out of my hands and scare the Ba-Jeezzus right out of me. It was the last hour of fishing on the last day. We were throwing big jigs along this deep water ledge. She grabbed the bait and sounded right off into the abyss. I had No Time to do anything and she shredded my 25 lb Tatsu on the rocks like it was sewing thread. That experience still plays through my mind and wakes me up in a cold sweat a couple of times a year. This is why, I'd much prefer to see what I've stumbled upon, at least I'll sleep a little better.
