Explain to me different hook sizes
Make sure the gap is at least twice the size as the thickness of the worm and you will be all right .I try to get it as close as I can to twice the thickness and if I feel the need for a heavier wire then I'll go up a size .

What Brand/Name is this Crankbait??
I thought that resembled an old strike king bait . Google Syrike king Psycho Scout .

How would you fish this?
Its shaped like a foot and there where the arch would be , the pads stick out a little farther, maybe indicating a slight point there . A little structure might be the place to spend a little more time .

Back-hand cast . I finally got it
I actually watched this video a year ago and commented on one of your other videos about your back-hand casting . It steered me in the right direction .

Back-hand cast . I finally got it
I worked on it a lot last year and made some progress but still pretty much stunk . I went out a couple of days ago for the first time this year and I dont know how but I was making those cast consistently and effortlessly , didnt even have to give it any thought . Throwing a spinnerbait on a 7 foot med action casting rod . The accuracy should only get better from here on .

Fishing with the thermocline
At one time I had a light /temp probe that I purchased from BPS . Every-time I lowered it in the water the temp and light would drop drastically at the thermocline . The instructions read that the o2 would also drop at that depth . It was a handy piece of electronic equipment that I would like to see become available again .

Go big or go home
Rick Clunn recently made a statement that he didnt fish for big bass and look where it got him . I dont even know how to fish for big bass , I fish high percentage spots and catch numbers with kicker thrown in . If I was to put an x on every spot i caught 5 lb plus bass at the lake I frequent there would be x's all over it .

(POLL) Do you catch and release or keep fish?
It depends on the water I'm fishing .I would have kept a limit yesterday but the cleaning station wasnt open yet . Bass are a renewable resource after all and 100 per cent of them are going to die . On a lot of waters if the population is not kept in check , then we end up with a lake full of stunted fish . A few years back the Missouri Conservation dept set a 12 fish limit and no length limit on a lake because they needed to thin the bass population out. I did my part to bring that lake back .

How does age affect tournament performance?
I'm 61 and better fisherman now then when I was at thirty but intolerance to heat , low blood sugar , arthritic ankle that makes it difficult to keep my balance standing so I have had to sit for the past two years , tendinitis , back pain .I've also had some major illnesses and injuries that kept me on the sidelines for months at a time . My hats off to Clunn , Fritz and the rest . Three and four day tourneys would not be a cakewalk .

Latest Catch Pics Thread
Some days bass are on points like the mouths of coves , the end of trees ... Today they were in the coves and coves within coves . Once I figured out the pattern it was easy fishing .

Lures, Baits, Artificial Worms, etc?
My guide is the cover or structure I'm fishing . When encountering wood use lures that fish through wood well . Same with vegetation , rock ... If there is sparse cover use lures that will cover water efficiently until you hit cover . What do you usually encounter on a typical day ?

Anyone look at you with a weird look like something is wrong when you say you bass fish?
No , but I do get those looks when I say I like to carp fish . I have friends who are into crappie and when they show me pictures I like to reply how "cute" they are . LOL
