Anybody Ever Get Caught Without Their License?
Have been stopped by several times in the past by this Conservation Officer at the lake that I practice. I alwasy whip out my licence and all of that. He would check me for the first three years. After that, He stopped asking me for my licence since He knew that I always have it... Few years ago, He stopped by at the pier that I was at with another guy that I never met. I just arrived 15 mins and CO appears. This CO was chitchatting for a while then asked him for his licence. When he was done, He turned around and was making statements like this: "What about him, why are you asking for mine when you didn't ask him, That is not right". The CO was like "STFU, I know this man and I wouldn't be surprised that he would pop one in a few mins". He got some plenty of pictures to prove it. *3 seconds later* *Boom* - Just caught 3lber bass on Chatterbait and looked at the CO, I said "POW !" CO: *looking at him* "See man, I told ya" and he walked out ....

Line Breaking - Braid/FC - How to stop from happening
That was just example, I was just trying to show where the line breaks at but not that knot. Practice is what I do all the time during the non-wife hours like now... Not a bad suggestion - I have thought about leaving the braid line and just go hard core since its a moving bait like you said. Mojo Rod is intend becoming my Jerbait rod cuz i can't even jerk right on the casting rod. It just looks weak a$$ and embarrassing For the line: I also have some Seaguar Red labels at 8, 10 and 12 lbs line (From Walmart Clearance) but I think that its more suitable for leader. I might get the line that you suggest and go from there. Thanks everyone for your inputs --- Keep them coming

Line Breaking - Braid/FC - How to stop from happening
Was out today to practice and I just lost one of the Jerkbait far in the middle of the Lake. (Lucky, It was a three dollar Jerkbait from BPS). It's become annoying lately as I had a break off on a soft jerkbait several time last year. How did I connect those two ? It was connected by Alberto knot. It also does the same thing with the Double Uni . The break is done at the picture below. Rod: Mojo Bass (7' Med/Fast Action) Line setup: Braid line is 20 Lbs with FC line is 12Lbs Leader (5 feet) Now - What is the best way to avoid it.

Shootout of the $80 reels - PQ, Speed Spool, Aird
During the Spring Fishing Classic Sales - (Feb 17 to March 5th, 2017) Look at the last page - Bass Pro Shop - Classic PDF If you live nearby and can make a trip to the BPS store. I dont know when the next time they will do that but they tend to do sales often on those reels. Johnny Morris makes tons of dough ..

Shootout of the $80 reels - PQ, Speed Spool, Aird
NO Question - Pro Qualifier ! I have like FIVE Pro Qualifiers, Three Abu Garcia (2 STX -Gen2 and winch) and BPS Prolite Reel. I have found myself buyin those PQ due to being cheap. I tend to get one or two at the spring classic sales. you cant not buy one lol It's ridiculous cheap of 49.99 bucks. Its like a little "date night" spending money with your wife, just go to McDonald Instead.

Your favorite polarized sunglasses?
For Costas, You can order it on Amazon which is cheaper than retail stores. Just make sure that you read the reviews on the seller before purchasing it. I have the Costa Fantail 580G which I got it for 120 bucks. I waited for the right time to get it, cant image spending $240 bucks.

Thinking of trading my AR for a bass boat, good or bad idea?
Not Worth the trade/selling your AR15. Reminder -----> Have you seen the zombie act lately, you never know when you will need it...

Reel depressed.
Not like yours, was out at the boat as we were zooming into new spot that was quite far away .. I looked around the boat and realized that I left my tackle bag at the truck. I had to suck it up. He looked into his bag and gave me one GY black/red flake tube. Good things happens for a reason - caught this one

Stolen Fish: Poor Etiquette
Same thing happened to me at a Fishing Tournament which I wasn't getting any hits and it was already 1pm. Somehow, they arrived who happens to be my friends hitting the same location that I was at. "Hey Burke, How many did you catch today ? did you get a limit" ? I was nodding "Nothing man". They got closer and threw me some senkos that was roadkill color instead of green pumpkin that I was throwing. Next thing I knew, Boom, Boom, Boom and Boom.. I already had 4 good size bass ! I surely owe them big favor

Stolen Fish: Poor Etiquette
That always happens to me at the lake I fish, I would hit the spot where there is no one there ... One hour later, there is always like 4 people fishing at the same spot where I am and I go to different one. Its like a fly swarm .....its either they think that my dobyns/St Croix makes me a "elite" or I surely catch some bass
-
Trailer or Trailer Hook?
I always throw a spinnerbait with a Trailer hooks on it. 70% of them hit on the trailer hooks. When I started throwing chatterbaits, I added the trailer hooks on it to see if it would improve. Intend, It did improve my catch...so trailer hooks are must for those two "moving baits".

Wacky Rigging, My Way
After 8 years being dead...someone brought it alive again --- Yup, me too , just need to tell the wife that she needs some of that for her hair. That way I can steal some of it and test it out

Chatterbait, spinnerbaits for searching in spring
As start of the bass season, I tend to start out with the 1/2oz chatterbaits to "wake" them up knowing that I have arrived. its just a confidence thing I have been doing for years.

Best Bass Attractant?
Powerteam Hog Tonic, JJ Magic and MegaStrike. The strongest - Powerteam Hog Tonic - Never Spray inside the room - Trust me, she wasn't a very Frigging happy camper. I told her that it was only "two spray" as I wanted to test it out . "It should be gone by 12 hours", I said (LOL) Boy, I was really wrong, that scent smell wouldn't leave the room after one full week... That Garlic Scent ....

7' Medium/Heavy Rod $125 Budget
Put your debates away and get the Mojo Bass (SCIII Blanks). SCIII is more sensitive, lighter and faster than the SCII. Hey - Purple looks sexy ! You would look hotter than Barney !

pflueger patriach sizes
Just got the 9530 and 9535 Yes, I agree that the 9535 looks akward but I had to get that to balance the Mojo Bass Rod otherwise it would be so heavy to fish on it
