Color revisited!
In a buddy tournament , my cousin out-fished me six keepers to zero and we were using the exact same bait and color . Six inch Black Grape Lizards . Sometimes you just get whipped . I got even the next event .

Lunar Tables Drive Me Nuts..
I never have paid the slightest attention to them . The only time I check the moon is when I'm night fishing . I like to go on bright nights .I catch a lot more bass on full moons than other times . I'm speculating because the water is heavily stained around here .

Old Bassmasters classics
My favorite classic is when they put everyone on a plane and flew them to parts unknown . Didnt announce where they were going until they boarded the plane .Man , that would have been exciting to participate in . Thats a level playing field .

Mud hole with huge bass (NOT CARP) and shad but no bites
Ive had bass break me off before . A few minutes later they jump trying to dislodge the lure . Also has one jump clear over a log to get my buzzbait on the other side . Then we've all seen them jump when hooked . But I never seen them jump for the heck of it . Carp try to make the biggest splash possible . It must be fun for them .

Red eye shad rattle traps
This is after two schools of fish , i found. Its the silent model but it has a loose weight so it has a light rattle . There's also the largest bass I caught last year with that lure hanging from his mouth .
