Kodi & Tatiri were our First Two Malamutes. Brother & sister 12 week old pups from the mountains of Montana. They were "Giants", Kodi was pushing 150 lbs as an adult. Thankfully both gentile giants. That was 27 years ago. A-Jay

Best Modern Low-Stretch Copolymer / Mono (Life After Defier Armilo)
@BassKat I am also a fan of Defier Armilo and am still working on the supply I have left. While good old Big Game still produces for me, I can feel good about recommending Maxima Ultragreen Line. Seem to be marked a bit higher than it's test diameter. However IMO it possesses all of the attributes I prefer when it comes time to landing that fish of a life time. Make no mistake however, I WILL use FC line given the chance, but this is good stuff. Haven't tried the clear but have to think it's just as good. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Maxima_Ultragreen_Line/descpage-MUG.html I talk a little about it here: https://youtu.be/E8UfnBPoH-M?feature=shared&t=2966 Good Luck A-Jay

Baylee was a Blue-eyed, Bridle little sweetheart who definitely had a fiery side. A-Jay Bear was Diesel's litter mate and had a bit of an attitude (in a good way) Those two would get after each other pretty hard like brothers do. Sadly we lost bear to a fatal seizure before he was a year old. Poor guy never stood a chance. I was at sea and missed the chance to say good bye. That one hurt for a while. A-Jay

BreeZo left us way too soon. She had the Heart & Drive of a champion. And man, she surly did love to race . . . . . A-Jay Brody was born to pull. Fortunately we had that covered. A-Jay

Sierra was easily the Most Intense animal we've ever had. She loved to run wild on the beaches of south Jersey ~ A-Jay Teddy was the first of many we got from the local animal shelter. We didn't recue him. Clearly he rescued us ! Great Dog. A-Jay

The Great Experiment Has Begun
I missed most of the day 2 fishing as the snow blower was calling my name again. But as the fishing wraps up today, seems like a lot of familiar names above that cut line. Tomorrow should be a shoot out. Mr Wheeler gets the day off with 101 lbs of bass in two days. Not a good sign for the rest of the field. A-Jay

I have not cleared the roof. But if I never look up at it, it's good to go. #denial 🤓 A-Jay

I mentioned here already that My strength, balance, flexibility, dexterity, mental acuity, endurance, vision and hearing have all experienced some decline. 'Decline' in some areas might be a relative term. Fishing with a 10 ounce rod & reel for a several hours a day, a few days a week doesn't seem like quite a chore. A-Jay

Winter 2024 / 2025 ~
NWS Gaylord reports a powerful snow squall dropped 3.6 inches of snow in an hour this evening (2/13). 3-inch per hour rate! If you've never seen snow like that - It's pretty Intense. I always say it seems like it should make some kind on noise. But it does not. A-Jay

Other ways to use tube jig heads other than with tubes
First off, you didn't hear this from me, but I know at least one Mexican Guides who takes a tube jig head and slide it up/into a Fluke type bait. Line tie comes out about half inch back of the nose of the bait and the hook pops right out the top. Then they fish it like a tube. Low & Slow - with plenty of 'drop time' 😎 A-Jay

What's your bass fishing superpower?
Sweet ~ I do that for 4-5 months at a time. In fact I'm doing it right now ! 😎 A-Jay

The Great Experiment Has Begun
I was thinking the same thing. Not flippin' for Brown bass much here, especially right now. But I like watching it mostly because it's been a proven method of getting a few Hawgs for a Looooong time. And us Old Guys like things that last the test of time. btw - I would change 'something' tackle wise if I were Poche. It's not like he's frog fishing. These fish are choking his bait and he's got a fairly miserable landing percentage so far. Makes for some entertainment, but I hate seeing guys losing fish. Just how I'm wired. A-Jay
