Biggest Fish You Ever Hooked
We were fishing on the White River (in Indiana) one evening and I hooked something that started swimming upstream. By the time we got the anchor up and started the motor it broke the 40 pound braid that I had on that setup like it was thread. I'm thinkin' big flathead

South-central Indiana. Bloomington area.
It's a good area with a lot going on. Monroe is one of the better lakes in the state. Enjoy!

Snaps? Anyone use them?
I use them on any rod that I might be casting cranks, jerkbaits, or swimbaits on.

Fishing in the wind
If it's that windy, I generally do the drift. I drag soft swimbaits on or near the bottom.

Worst time hooking yourself
When I was a teenager, I was bank fishing a pond with a hula popper. I was trying to keep it from getting hung in the moss so I gave it a nice jerk. It sailed right over the moss and right into the underside of my right wrist...Grandpa pushed it on through and cut the barb off. I've been hooked without getting barbed more times than I can count by friggin' trebles...

Turtle Creek Res. Western Indiana
I don't know how well they (wipers) tolerate warmer water, but in the summer it's hotter than bathwater. Plus it's full of oscars and other crap people dump out of their fish tanks...

South side ramp. No permits, just a fee paid at the check in. If it's windy, DON'T LAUNCH!

Green Sullivan...

Turtle Creek Res. Western Indiana
When they killed out the weeds (allegedly), they ruined the fishing (and put a pretty good dent in the duck hunting). It's crap compared to what it used to be.

Got out this weekend and caught 4 in a short while. Found some warmer water and they were in about 5 feet of water. Wild Eye Swim Shad on the bottom
