Eagle Claw Fletcher Shryock EWG short shank trebles.

The little one was 23 pounds for size reference, one of the few things we grow big in Kansas lakes.

Caught yo-yoing a RES on a shallow point. My biggest of the year to this point and also a new personal best for the particular lake. Also had my first double of the year and it was my first ever smallmouth/white bass double, same bait and retrieve on a different spot.

Caught my biggest bass of the year so far using the KastKing Assassin yesterday.

Agreed. I love War Eagle spinnerbaits, but they're considerably more expensive and less durable than the Booyah spinnerbaits.

In ponds I've fished, the BIG grass carp like the cattail stalks.

Had another good day on Wolf today/yesterday/Friday, whatever you want to call it at 1am.

I caught a bass once on a plastic worm where the bend of the hook was behind it's teeth on the lower jaw and when I set the hook, the eye of the hook wedged against the roof of it's mouth, propping it's mouth open. The hook point never touched the fish but the hook was wedged so hard that I landed the fish. I caught a paddlefish while catfishing. It's bill had been splintered by something, and my line slid into one of the gaps until it hit my sinker, which got stuck and I managed to fight the fish to the bank with the sinker wedged in it's bill while my hook trailed under it's belly. I caught 2 flathead catfish in 2 days that inhaled my bait with so much force that the bait went in their mouths, came out their gills, and the hook buried in their sides near their pectoral fins and stayed there for the entire fights. The big one ate a finesse jig, the smaller one was caught on a Ned rig.

I cook almost all the meals in our house. My wife cooks desserts and that's about it. I really enjoy cooking, especially for other people.

Fishing the cold water is always an option too, and sometimes it's better fishing too.

No. Wind and weather look great, so it's going to be packed I'm sure. The guys told me they had over 40 boats the day it was nice a couple weeks ago. That's over 40 boats fishing 20 acres in the warm water.

You need a life jacket and winds less than 20mph. Get there at 7 and sign in. Go get in line and play follow the leader with the rest of the crowd.

I haven't had any issues with Gliss other than it "poofs" out a bit at the end after lots of use. I just flip it around and it's like a brand new spool. Haven't had any breaks that were unexpected and I'm fishing open water where abrasion resistance isn't super important. The casting distance with the limp line is very important with the light lures I'm using though. I have 24lb on a couple rods and 40 on one, all spinning. I use an Alberto knot with 7 wraps and it has held great.

I use different rods for all 3, but you could get by with 2. I like a little shorter and lighter rod for the popper and walkers. I use a 6' 8" M/F Ethos Micro with 20lb braid. The buzzbait I use a 6' 10" MH/F Ethos and 15lb Big Game.

If you're wanting big spools, it's Big Game without question. Seaguar Senshi is very nice and I have some of the new Rippin Mono I'll be trying soon.

I like Nanofil for specific techniques, like Ned rig, swimming grubs, and wacky rigs. However, I've been swept away by Gliss since it came out. It's similar, but it ties better and has better abrasion resistance.

They are officially site sponsors now, but there's currently no discount available. They're very affordable baits to start with though.

I have done well on them over deeper weeds and in clearer water.

I mainly fish them around cover, wood especially, so I use itfor the abrasion resistance. Plus it's easy to find and cheap.

I bought the black. Wasn't sure what color to go with but I feel like you can almost never go wrong with black. I don't have any pictures of any fish I've caught on it yet, maybe a video of one but I haven't caught any big enough to warrant a picture yet.
