Over the past 10 years my office building has been hit 3 times. The building sits right behind a hwy off ramp and each time the vehicle that hit the building was exiting the hwy and going way over the speed limit, and became airborne.

Crappie do that around here. In the morning they will be hitting anything on the surface and if you didn't know better you would swear its bass.

Wow! Sounds like you had a great time catching those monsters.

Thoughts and prayers heading your way. Just take it easy and get well soon.

For cranks and spinnerbaits I like to use an Abu 4600 C3 reel.

My reels get a full cleaning in the winter while the water is iced over. During the warmer months they get a quick maintenance check about every two months.

I know this is a stupid question, but have you checked the brakes?

Either a jig or a spinnerbait. I know a lot of people that fish a spinnerbait like a jig. They just deadstick it on the bottom and make it hop every now and then.

That is a nice bass right there!

Congrats!!

Very true.

Nice looking bass, good catching!

Nice bass and a good looking lake too.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Maybe its for people that had a wild night and can't remember what happened.

I usually catch more on jigs each year than any other bait.

Great post!

Cool News!

Nice looking fish!

I like to go by weight. If the rig doesn't feel heavy toward the handle or rod tip I will use the rig to see how I like it.

Make long casts. If the fish are near the top of the weeds they will be able to see you before you see them.

For muddy brown water I like a black jig w/ a black trailer. Maybe a black spinnerbait.

I would try a smaller size jig. Maybe a 1/8 or 1/4 size. The smaller sizes tend to pull through the muck easier than the larger jigs.

Congrats on the dd pb!

That is a nice looking smallie!
