Swamp Girl

Bass + Weeds = Heart Arrythmia for Me for Sure More beshemoths for Alexander the Great! Imagine how many tourneys Alex would have won with the bass he's caught his winter and spring. He'd be the new KVD.

@Bluebasser86: One big bite away from the stage doesn't surprise me a whit of a bit. You're such a consistent angler. As always, confidently speaking for all of us, we're so proud of you. Even if I were invited, I wouldn't compete: too scaredy!

I was hoping to fish on Thursday when it's supposed to reach 47 for a couple hours, but that was dependent upon the ground not being icy. It's still white outside. Like, @A-Jay, I won't tromp through icy woods to fish. Sigh.

Four jumps? Here's the recipe for your big girl: Half frog. Half hog. Half beast. All bass. #mathdon'tlie

The view out my front window this morning. Take a wild guess as to why I'm not catching bass. I do, however, hope to fish on Thursday, if the ice melts:

Heck, yeah, Alex! The world ain't right if Aaron ain't dancing with the big girls!

@Choporoz, that's a heckuva day. Now, if someone starts wearing @T-Billy's musky-hunting fur cap while smoking your cigar while fishing @king fisher's barbed wire lakes with @Zcoker's gators, he'll be the Chuck Norris of Bass Resource.

You could tow me in an inner tube and if you ever come to Maine, I'll tow you too in my solo canoe. I love the color and lines of @DaubsNU1's boat.

What are three pluses and three minuses for your boat? You could focus on the hull design (canoe, kayak, jon boat, bass boat, etc.) or the maker. Start by describing your boat, please. Description: I fish from a Bell canoe. It is not a fishing canoe. At 15' 6" long and 32 pounds, it's built for wilderness tripping. It tracks well (paddles in a straight line), carries a lot of gear, and is light on a portage. The pluses: An old woman can carry it. It carries a lot of fishing gear. It's fast. The minuses: Being light and high, the wind bullies me. Being light and high, bass bully me too, pulling me into weeds. Being Kevlar, I have to baby it.

Nice ones, Mike! Bazoo, I am always happy when you post because I love LOVE LOVE your screen name. It makes me laugh. @MIbassyaker made some good points about setting a hook in a kayak.

Alex, you always look so happy when you catch bass. Your smile makes me smile!

Amen, brother. It is hard to set when sitting and being low makes it even harder.

Alex of the North living his Big Bass Life. Yeah, that's a northern strain largemouth with its black back and white belly. Fat bass, huh?

However, Alex, we're getting 7 to 11 inches of snow tomorrow. So, I'm challenging you to go forth and live your big bass life here. Tomorrow. 😉

Alex's Great Streak not only doesn't end, it gets better and better. It's passed from Great Streak status to a BIG BASS LIFE or BBL. Alex is so supportive of BR anglers that it's super easy to cheer for him. Here's Bob (@Blue Raider Bob) and me cheering for Alex:

So proud of you, Officer Clayton Basshead!

What a spring it's been. So proud of my fellow BR anglers. Special shout-out to @Team9nine for his great beast and to @Pat Brown for putting his boy and his buddy on bass. I always enjoy the Spot photos too. I've never caught one and likely never will, so they're as exotic as Golden trout and Peacock bass to me.

I've once profiled one of the CIA's Qs, i.e. one of their engineers who builds their gadgetry. I thinking of asking him to make me some bass drones.

Sounds like musky fishing.

Amen, @gimruis.

@A-Jay: Ha! However, @Bluebasser86 doesn't need my help. He's a fine stick. Thanks for sharing that, A-Jay. Blue's the man.

Open heart surgery is a big deal. She must be sore. Hopefully she'll be feeling better in a week or so. I'm so glad you had a chance to stretch and catch some bass. And, as always, I love your command of language. When it comes to word wrangling, you sure can cowboy, Phish. Pert near everybody and their pals are catching bass. Here's outside my back door five minutes ago.

Way to fish, Chef, @Team9nine, and @softwateronly. We have 40 m.p.h. winds coming. I don't think I'll be fishing.

Thanks, Glenn!
