Welcome to Bass Resource!

If you mess up a cast, fish it like you meant to do it. There's been quite a few times where I made an off target cast or clipped something while casting and didn't get much distance or after pulling myself out a tree and still gotten bit on the retrieve. So even if you blow a cast, fish it like you mean it.

I would have kept going but still waved at them.

My brother has 2 ball pythons in the 2.5-3 foot range. A few years ago one managed to push the lid off the tank open and escaped. We didn't see it for weeks. Then one night I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Flipped on the light and the nearly jumped out of my skin. The snake was stretched across the toilet and had its head and neck reared up at me. I've handled the snake tons of times so I wasn't afraid of it or anything. Just startled the heck outta me. Not something you expect to see at 4 in the morning when your half asleep. I picked it up, put it back in the tank and found something heavy to sit on the lid this time. At the house I live in now, we have snakes in the attack. Whenever we go up there we always find new snake skins. Never see the actual snakes though. The majority of it has floorboards but there's a small section on either side where the insulation is exposed. We think that's where the snakes are hiding out.

Hmm...I may give this a try. I've got a couple broken spinnerbaits lying around. Couldn't hurt, right?

For me I'd say a squarebill or spinnerbait. Also maybe try a weightless worm/lizard.

Got some nice one's there...welcome to BR!

As long as I don't go crazy she doesn't mind to much. I won't buy anything expensive unless I know all the bills are taken care of. But she doesn't mind a couple baits here and there. I think that's partially because she loses so many to snags and feels bad though.

Could be bass herpes. You should probably get yourself checked.

Congrats on some awesome fish and a great trip!

Am I the only one that thinks this is messed up? Hunting is one thing but why would you just drown them? I get that you were working maintenance and it was your job and all but there has to be a better way.

Here's another vote for the jitterbug. I also use the 5/8 ounce in black.

Nice! While I'd much rather catch a bass, I don't mind catching pickerel. Especially the bigger ones. Good hard fighting fish.

Nice fish!

Nice bass and the pumpkinseed is pretty cool too!

That's a bad one. I don't do spiders. I would have been freaking out.

X's 2. I've never tried braid but I've had this same problem with mono. Make sure you don't overfill your spools.

This threads well on its way to getting locked up...just saying.

Last fall I was headed back to the car after some trout fishing when I see what I could swear was a crankbait floating in the weeds at the edge of the creek bed. So without bothering to put my rod down, I scrambled down this steep 7ft bank to go after it. Turns out it was muddier than I expected and I slid down and right into the water up to my knees. Then because the bank was so steep and muddy and cuz I only had one hand since I still had my rod, whenever I tried to get out I just kept sliding back down. I was pretty much coated with mud from my feet up to about the middle of my back and soaked up to my knees. My wife couldn't stop laughing and the icing on the cake was that it wasn't even a crankbait. Turned out to just be a bobber. Felt pretty dumb after that one.
