Yea it was in his eye ball saw another guy that had one hooked in his eye lid, imagine if they were on the same boat fishing together lol talk about bad luck

I never have but I saw a picture of a guy who had a treble hook IN HIS EYE! I could not imagine how I would react the b***h would come oozing out of me real quick lmao

Yea I have caught the same fish before. I know because it had a gash on its right side this was last season, caught it three separate times.

Yea I never really fish lizards and when I have haven't had any luck with them. I fished the t-rigged weightless. May try some other techniques others have mentioned, lizards can be deadly here in FL

Having my line in the water

homemade burgers... get you some ground meat, season it with pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, chop up some onions and jalapenos and mix it all together and mold into burgers. Will change your outlook on a good burger everything else won't taste the same lol. I like to throw some pepper jack or cheddar cheese on mine

MAN tell me about it babies are expensive lol. I am glad I only have one and only plan on having one, eventhough this one was a surprise wouldn't change it for the world! I have tons of baby stuff that I am saving just in case lol.

I would consider it a sport, trying to out smart your opponent is a component in ALL SPORTS and fishing by a land slide is that

Great stories and pics! Your SO is a great photographer nice pics and fish man!

Strike King KVD squarebill 1.5 are my favorite shallow diving crank bait. Also Livingston makes some good ones too (they make my two favorite patterns)

Went out Saturday with Czar and DS to a few spots out by Ponte Vedra and OSA. Saturday I had the most strikes/misses on a frog that I have ever had since fishing them. It would have been an amazing day for me if I caught atleast half of the strikes I got lol. The biggest that day that I got was 18", caught 2 of them over in Ponte Vedra. The first one in Ponte Vedra came on a KVD 1.5 in sexy shad right in front of a cuvert. She bumped it once and then slammed it as it got close to the culvert. I was unhooking her and noticed some bubbles in the water. I released her not by the culvert and I cast out my crank by where I saw the bubbles. I was reeling it in and stopped in front of the culvert again and as the crank rose to the top I see a huge mouth inhale in! I jumped the gun and pulled straight up, I usually pull to the side when cranking, and the crank flew straight up right out her mouth. Over by OS road I missed a giant fish had her hooked and everything got hung up in pads I was trying to ease her out and then I let some slack out and then she was unhooked and I reeled in pads lol. I went back out that evening and caught 9 total, if I remember correctly 4 on a frog and 5 on a KVD 1.5 crankbait in sexy shad. So overall Saturday was an amazing day for me if I factor in all the misses lol. Sunday I went out with Czar around 8am to our big fish spot and again I hooked into a beast this time I was using a Bass Pro boss shad in bluegill. I hooked it about 20 yards or so out in deep water. She stayed on the bottom my pole was bent so much I thought it was going to break. I'm reeling in and she is fighting and shaking violently! I get her about a 20ft from shore and then pop goes the hook she shook it loose. I slammed my pole to the ground as I see the bubbles going back out towards the deeper water! That morning I threw everything started with frogs, senko, gambler big ez, rattle snakes, KVD 1.5, KVD 2.5, boss shad, hudd weedless shad, and that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Only bite was the one I hooked on the Boss Shad. I move to the other pond with my black frog tied on (after all those different baits I used I was ready to leave and tied the frog on). I meant to cast over by the culvert and messed up the cast and in ends of landing nowhere near where I was trying to go and on land. I reel it in and the frog hits the water, probably about a foot or so of water I see this huge wake come and then BOOM frog gone! I set the hook and she starts pulling drag. I had it set loose so I tighten it a little and manage to reel her in. She went 21". Caught on 7' MH St. Croix rod with Pflueger reel and 30# braid on a black frog. Not sure what that one puts me at but that was the only fish I was able to cull since I didn't catch anything over 20" yet. After that we hit up a few other spots that I found on this app on my phone but no luck so we called it a day around 12:45 to go watch some football. Wasted a good 45mins or so at the new Academy watching these idiots try to spool up my reels with braid and flouro it took 3 people I believe lol. On top of that they broke my reel didn't realize until I was fishing and decided to use that rod & reel for cranking. So I went back there later that evening and they exchanged it for another that took another hour or so I swear those people over at the new store are incompetent, maybe its due to the fact that they are fresh out of training so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I was mad because I wanted to get out to a spot that's on South Side blvd before it got dark but being there took up all the day light so I just went home. May try to go out this evening to some spots on OS road other than that I won't be fishing until Saturday.

Whatever the fish are biting you just need to figure it out
