Unlike other divisions, the NFC West is about as tight a race as it can get. It's looking like it will be a photo-finish. Geeze!

Whatever you get, ensure it's designed for fishing. Here's what a pair of Carhartt Storm Defender bibs did to a boat seat:

I just learned the fishing community in my state has been hit again with another sudden loss. Without going into any details, I wanted to share a few helpful encouraging words in case you or someone you might know is struggling. Winter can be hard on us all, days are long and dark - especially for those who fish hard in the summer! If you or someone you know is struggling, here are a few resources that can help. If you’d like to add any resources that I might’ve missed, please add them in the comments. - Call OR text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - The National Mental Health Hotline: (800) 662-HELP (4357) - National Alliance Mental Illness (NAMI): (800) 950-6264 OR Text Helpline to 62640 - CRISIS Text: Home to 741-741

I own many SIMMS rainsuits, although not a CX, and have nothing but good experiences with them. I've been in some pretty harsh weather in them too. I suggest reaching out to SIMMS for a replacement. No company is perfect, and sometimes mistakes slip through, but they stand behind their products and should take care of you. I've never heard of anyone having problems with SIMMS customer support.

I kneel down in the well of the boat and use a Rubbermaid container like this: Just take the top off and there's no risk of "spillage". Then I dump it out overboard and rinse it out with lakewater. ...and I'm from Seattle. 🤣

Did you know we have a recipe section on Bassresource? Yep, we do! It's been there for years. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing-articles/recipes

You got me beat by a landslide. My best day this year was 38 fish in 4 hours, all between 2 1/2 and 5 lbs. You smoked me!

Here's how to keep it simple. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/choosing-fishing-line-connell.html

fyi, Charlie's Worms is still available via various online shops (and I think Walmart). Just Google the name and you'll find them.

^^ He's not wrong ^^ Not only did he place 15th in this year's Kayak Classic, but he's already qualified for next year's Classic. You're talking to the best of the best. The man knows.

Multiple retrieves are explained and demonstrated in this video:

Rat-L-Trap, Wameko Shad, One Knocker and few others are on my list Plus I have a handful of Japanese baits I bought when I was in Japan earlier this year that I really like!

R18 would be the ticket. No, it's not Tatsu in another package. It's not the same thing, but it is formulated for tournament anglers. So it's the next best thing. However, it's not available in 22lb. They have it in 20lb though. btw, Seaguar makes terrific braid lines too!

Who had the Seahawks on their Bingo card? Nobody saw that comin' Just when I thought they wouldn't win another game this season.

Some folks won't like this!

Exclusively? Not likely. But does that mean their sponsor's products are inferior? Hardly. Gosh, I know so many pros. Fished with them, shot videos with them (who do you think is the guy behind the camera for all those pro videos on Bassresource?), had dinner with many of them. I have the phone numbers and emails of many, and they call, text, and email me too (Randy Howell texted me just yesterday). That doesn't mean squat about me, other than I know what these guys use. They all use their sponsor's products, be it rods, reels, baits, or whatever. However none of them are exclusive (except for boats, motors, and trolling motors). The pros, if nothing else, are extremely particular about what they use. Sometimes there's an explicit rod action with a certain length that they absolutely MUST use for a certain technique, and their sponsor doesn't make one. Also, many pros will hold onto their sponsor's discontinued rods, reels, baits because they feel it's better than current offerings, or there simply is no replacement. Same thing with lures. There's a certain size, action, color, etc that they want, or one type of bait by a certain brand has a certain benefit that others don't have. There's very few - if any - companies that do everything well and produce every type of product one needs. It's the reason why pros have multiple brands of depthfinders. There's just some things that Garmin does better than Lowrance and vice-versa. And when there's money on the line, they're going to use what they feel puts them in the best position to win. All this to say that, although they often do use non-sponsored products, it has nothing to do with the quality or superiority of their sponsor's products. You shouldn't read anything into it.

There just aren't very many articles about this productive technique. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/tailrace-current-breaks.html

Man, I don't know where to begin. I immediately started experimenting with the Senko when it came out. I've fished it more ways that I can remember, but here are a few videos I made about a decade ago showcasing some of the more versatile rigs. Note the T-Rigged bullet sinker vid is the first: Now I won't claim to have invented these, but I was one of - if not the first - to make videos about them. The "5 Ways to Rig A Senko" video came out in 2014 and was definitely the first video to explain those rigs, and it includes the Don Iovino trick WRB mentioned above (Don Iovino showed me that little trick in 80's on split-shot rigs, and I transferred that to all things T-Rigged).
