SMfisher

sorry to hear that. it is a tough thing to go through the best thing is everyone is safe. we lost our home in a fire the summer before my senior year, my dad and i were fishing, my mom and 3 sisters were home it happened late at night when all were asleep but thank god all got out safe we lost everything made it hard on the girls for the up comming school year. its something you don't forget. that was the last time dad took me or went fishing with me.

good one.

welcome!

WOW Chris!!!!!!!! I look at the big fish your catching I'm ready to move. congrats on your new PB I'm sure you will break that soon. I also checked out your website what a great collection of fish.

sorry Ronnie to hear that you won't be at the road trip but am glad you go work, was looking forward to meeting you in person. thanks for all the hard work. maybe get to meet in roadtrip 5.

looks like you had a good day congrats on your first striper.

them are nice fish. looks like your having a blast keep it going.

DAS Pitchenkid that was a new river smallie.

that belongs to some else i still drive the old 93 ford ranger fishing.

another nice fish paul, how much did she weigh?

i don't have much experience with LM or lake fishing for SM but in the river anything that looks like a crawdad is good or something that looks like a minnow, fluke,jerk baits. in the river they don't have time to look at it long, its get it or its gone by so they are aggresive. last fall i started using senkos and they worked good for river SM. when i fished lake erie last spring blade baits worked good. I'm thinking about KY lake and what to use but i would like to catch some LM haven't caught very many of them.

happy birthday fivebasslimit. mine will be in a few weeks i'll be 56

wife and I had filleted redeyes today that is my favorite fish, have eaten trout, catfish, muskie which is good but no bass.

the past week i've been using jigs with pumpkinseed skirts and ragetail chunks caught a few with 5" trick sticks trying different colors to see what will work. than after the water gets to high which is around 3pm i use live shad. this girl fell for live bait. I try to use what i think they will hit the best.

nice fish!

here is a good one from yesterday. haven't been posting many fish last few weeks seems like they all look alike thier all about 18" to 20" but they are not that fat and very few fellow fisherman makes any comments about them. here you go dick one with a little more weight. for got the tale of the tape. 22 1/2" long 5 3/4 pounds

what a nice smallie Fish Cris your the man!
