Tourneys banning FFS / Forward Facing Sonar / Livescope
I use to identify with the pro anglers . I had similar equipment .Except for a few , I dont anymore . There are so many large screens on the boats now days . Maybe limit those devices to two . One on front , one on back .Dont ban anything , just limit them . The Mississippi river tourney going on now is more interesting and fun for me to watch than the previous events where top touring pros are staring at their screens waiting for a fish to pop up . Just my point of view .

Every egg in the clutch hatched . Sixteen total . I am having no problem finding homes for them . I'm keeping two or three . I have a 55 gallon aquarium to set up .

Guessing where bass are at . I see something and guess bass are there , then try to catch some . I do enough good guessing in a day , I usually catch some fish .

Chess
Last game of chess I played was against a ten year old who lives down the street . After he won he said to me "You're pretty tricky. "

Dye Dip and Marker Colors
The only color I use are the chartreuse markers . I run it down the entire length of plastic worms just to give a more natural two tone appearance . Nothing a bass eats is a single solid color . It doesnt turn the worms chartreuse just brightens them up a bit .

Chess
I am horrible at chess . Every time I try to think several moves ahead my opponent doesnt cooperate . I play aggressively and get it over with . I'm likely going to lose anyway , why prolong it . The Netflix show "The Queens Gambit" Is my favorite series . I watched it three times .

How do I catch bass?
Taku is using something that resembles the Deps Scat . I think on a Neko rig .

Summer lures
This summer most of my bass have come from a Texas rigged worm with spinnerbait a distant second . Ned , tube , spook , popper and frog have caught a few .

Three months ago a Red Ear Slider dug a hole and laid eggs in my yard . The little girl across the street and I watched her do it . Yesterday I dug in the rock hard clay ground to see how they were doing . There was no way they could dig out if they did hatch . Luck would have it , they were hatching . Now I have four baby turtles and a dozen more eggs , some of them are hatching .The little girl wants two as so does a cousin . Any turtles not adopted will get released in a pond and be bass food .

What's your guess as to how this happened?
He let his wife back in .

Well that was different
I had Kingfishers dive bomb a spinnerbait twice . Luckily he missed . My cousins boy and I were night fishing with buzzbaits , and there was all kinds of splashing going on . I quickly hit it with a light and a Raccoon was frantically swimming after the boys buzzbait . A few minutes later it happened again and this time the boy said he felt it .

Lake of the Ozarks in October
Practice skipping . That lake looks like St Louis has been flooded . Docks everywhere . Dock fishing is not my forte but I stink at skipping .

Bassmaster Elite at Lake Oahe
John Cox looks out of place , casting into open water without three giant screens on his front deck . I heard there was 20 largemouths in that water , John ought to go after them .

Landing bass that are wrapped up
There is not much swimming out unless I'm working the outside . Once I get in the thick of it there is no swimming out , I have to bring them up .. A lot of them get caught but once they get stuck , they stay stuck .

where are you at with respect to Cast-Iron pans?
I pulled a rusty 100 year old Wagner out of a barn , cleaned it up . Its my favorite . I have several skillets but only use three of them . My wife bought a new set of Ninja cookware . I'm fond of cast iron and baby them but man , that Ninja sure cooks nice .

I have zero . I dont troll very often . I used the Norman Deep Baby N in chartreuse when targeting 10 to 15 foot . Caught dinks and crappie . Norman Deep Little N , same color when trolling deeper . Caught 2 and 3 lbers with it .
