That comes from catching all of those hawgs.

You keep this up and you'll have your own fishing show in no time.

That is a big bass. Good Job!

Welcome aboard! The first thing that I would do is start reading the articles on this forum. My favorite way to fish a spinnerbait is to let it fall to the bottom and just start slow rolling it.

Something dark. Probably along the lines of black or green pumpkin.

When I graduated college I was working 40 hours a week at night, and about 20 hours a week part time during the day. To this day if I'm asked to work 2nd shift I will turn it down.

I usually throw 3/8 oz. jigs about 90% of the time. If I am in a lot of weeds I will downsize.

Cool, do you have an air date yet?

Sound like you guys had a real great time. Thanks for the pics.

If it's the tire and rim size it will also throw off your odometer.

If I saw one of those things on my wall I think I would go screaming like a little girl out into the street !

I put at least 15 lb. on all of my baitcasters. 10 lb. and less go on the spinning reels.

IMHO, if the bass thinks that the bait can be swallowed the bass will probably try and eat it, no matter what the size the bait is.

Probably Bruce Springsteen. I think that i have all of his releases.

When I tie a palomar I always give it a couple of good pulls before I start throwing the bait. Sometimes you can look at the knot and just tell if it will hold.

Yo-Zuri and Big Game. All baitcasters have 15 lb. The spinning reel has 10 lb. The ultralite has 6 lb.

I go by how the rig is balanced and how it feels. If I put a reel on a rod and it feels bottom or top heavy, I switch the reel to a different rod.

Those are some nice smallies. I wish there were more places to catch them around here.

Nice bass. Glad to hear it didn't die.

I saw someone fish this way years ago on an old fishing show. It was probably back in the early 70's.

I like finesse worms on the back of mine.

I have caught numbers, but so far I haven't gotten anything over 2 lbs.

Make sure that the hooks are sharp.
