but not too long, they start tasting like cardboard paste

couldnt have picked music any more appropriate

Chartreuse w/ black back White also another fan of the rootbeer

whatever this is called....anybody know? its long and tubelike as you can see hanging out the bass's mouth in my avy.and also love fishing lily pads.

oh my god man thats a gem

didnt pugs originate in China? in that case you may wanna name him Abu.oh, and nice pup

what did one bass fisherman say to another bass fisherman during the peak of winter? Yet another ridiculously bad joke. :-X

Ribbit, overcast, lily pads

never seen a bass with lips that black. awesome story man. i just saw that episode recently as well and somehow managed to shrug the monkey off my shoulders that day.

it would be "would you take me fishing?"

but isn't tequila sunrise black and dark red?

could be pulled by a tractor to aerate dirt

we miss you Jack!

how sexy is the carbon fiber body

maybe one that was bleeding. wonder where they got tequila sunrise?

let me guess.... you're posting from your phone? and who cares if people wanna collect fishing gear, we live in a free country.

looks like a huddle bug! I played in ditches and creeks my whole life growing up here and i never saw a crayfish in my state that wasn't a deep red color with some black on it, but I've thrown jigs and craw worms of all colors (mostly black and blue and other shades of earth tones) with great success. I'm with Raul though, it's all about matching behavior. Now that doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and start throwing turquoise/pink jigs and craws.

whatever technique i'm doing when i'm not catching anything

seriously. hopefully 6 years has been enough time to figure out how to get bass outta those weeds. bet that backwaters dried up by now ;D

that hogs gotta belly on her. way to go

;D

nice man. now all you need is a fryer, some tater tots and beer

I think that given the low energy budget/metabolism of winter bass, baits big or small don't matter as long as they're fished slow. I understand bass can be frisky on a 3-4 day warming trend and bite faster moving baits but if it's been steadily cold, keeping that "meal" in the strike zone for as long as I can stand is what works for me. as far as the bass is concerned, if it's an easy meal, then the bigger the better right?

yeah the trends are silly. the most powerful marketing or angling advice is word of mouth from a close friend or relative, i.e. someone you trust dearly who isn't trying to sell something. ;D I think it'd be a great marketing ploy to pay small, but decent amounts of money to folks who send in videos of them catching fish on that companies lure. then use the videos as sales tactics somehow.

did you mean your "new favorite crappy noises"?
