X2 Agreed, they really help this OG try and keep track of my rigs. A-Jay

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here's a clip of how I set up my rig. Hope it helps A-Jay

My brother's proctologist is a "Noodler", Not sure if that help either endeavor. A-Jay

Good Luck A-Jay

Pull 2 workout on my 64th birthday. Felt pretty good. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

If you do get a 10 lb bass, that's only $40 a pound. Sounds like a bargain. A-Jay

I think Mexico has the same reputation. Just cast anywhere and DD fish are fighting for your bait. Not really reality. There may be more big fish, but they are still bass. A-Jay

Bass will be waiting for you and so will we. A-Jay

Bait Monkey just hit me with a major Birthday sneak attack ! Took a flyer on a couple of Tackle Warehouse Exclusive Rods. Daiwa DX Type-H Glass Reaction Casting Rods 7'3" Heavy and matched them with a pair of Daiwa Tatula Elite 6.3:1 Casting Reels. Like the deeper spool. Already have a career supply of line. Looking to step up my 1/2 oz Jackhammer Game. Completed the monkey uprising with some skirt material and a pair of specially patterned stick jackets to make new rig ID a breeze. All in I think it was about a Buck 3.80 plus tax. A-Jay

Some of these are out of stock . A-Jay

They always run between $50 - $65 bucks. https://fishshop.shimano.com/collections/stc3000xgfl Part number RD20039 https://fishshop.shimano.com/collections/vfc3000xgf RD 21043 I have them for casting reels as well A-Jay

Give me a sec...brb. A-Jay

I get all my shimano spare a spools right from Shimano. A-Jay

Push Workout 2 this morning. My time in the home gym every other day is more important now than it's ever been. For many different reasons. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

See now, all this talk about Big Bass makes me reminisce. I was doubtful that achieving my boyhood dream of holding a DD bass could ever be realized unless I changed what I was doing. So many years later I 'made the commitment' to do 'whatever it takes'. As an over the top addicted basshead, there's Nothing, and I mean Nothing Else (at least for me) that compares to hooking, fighting, landing, holding & releasing one these beasts. I thought I knew what it was going to be like. I don't think I have ever been so wrong. If this is important to you and your fishing, make the commitment while you still can, whatever that might be. Still no guarantees but at least give yourself a fighting chance. You'll be glad you did. 10 years ago I caught my first DD bass right before sunset. It was The only Bite I had ALL DAY. Big Spinnerbait, slow rolled deep. https://youtu.be/YtFl-6Whtfk Been able to catch a few more since then. A-Jay https://youtu.be/UYTzJHDCdMo

Glad he's OK and I hope it's his last one. A-Jay

Exactly, how does a person catch really big bass? Isn't that the ultimate bass fishing question? Especially the 'Exactly' part. There's so much just on this site alone that could help, much is confusing and contradictory. Bassheads that make it happen almost always have a system. Sometimes it's different, but not always. The Big fish need to actually be there when you're there. And your approach and tackle must be on task. Still, no guarantees. Put the odds in your favor and you may increase your chances. Like many things, you'll get out what you put it. But here's the kicker, IMO what goes into getting big bass bites often seems wildly disproportionate to how many we actually get. So many folks give up. Good Luck A-Jay

Blood transfusion today. Tough deal. But to those who donate blood ~ Thank You. Something like 3% of people who are eligible to donate blood actually do. That is how valuable every blood donation is. So on behalf of Lynn & I and our families, Thank you for choosing to be a part of the extraordinary few. A-Jay

Seems MLF did their due diligence. Determined which path would effect their bottom line the least. And then march right down the middle of it. Optics be dammed. I get that it's all for entertainment purposes only. But so are The Kardashians and I don't watch that either. This isn't going away. A-Jay

Happy Birthday @Hammer 4 A-Jay

Productive topwater conditions change all the time. Low light seems pretty good. Some wind and or cloud cover can trigger some action. And when you know where & when to look, Sunny, Hot and Flat Dead Calm can be very special . . . . A-Jay

Legs 2 this morning. Had to dig deep to get this one done. But Gym Rat Rule # 1 is NEVER, And I mean Never, skip Leg day. And I'm no rule breaker #borninfiftynine A-Jay

LC also recently came out with a pointer 158. It's huge. Mexican bass like it just fine. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lucky_Craft_Pointer_Minnow_158mm_Jerkbaits/descpage-LCPT158.html A-Jay
