Yea, I mean I punch with 7'6" and 7'11" but I prefer a shorter rod, and you most certainly can use a shorter rod. My question is why couldn't you?

Big ole snapping turtle can flat out put a hurt on catfish too...

Yep, good ole Woo, flipped and pitched with a 808! Wow.....

Cool!

Just look at it like you are in his Boat.... His boat is fully wrapped, with his sponsors, yours are different , it still is his boat... He steers that boat where he wants, or where he feels he needs... You're in the back, don't have first shot at much but you're glad to be there. He doesn't care if you talk about you're fave beaver or reel/ rod... But he's not going to let you put a decal on his wrapped boat! They post links all the time, I see it as the business end of this site.. It is not a big deal really. If it bothers someone, I would just ask why?

You mean within the same pack? Or in the rage lineup?

Boy.. Sure loved Jack.. Straight up in the old days Along with Old Forester.... But Crown with water was my fave..... Not now... No more for me.. I think....

RoLo.. I sorta buy into it.... With a large bluegill in the gullet... Obviously whatever mechanism is used by the Bass has not been satisfied, obviously the prey is being slowly devoured but the brain doesn't signal success .... Otherwise the fish would settle in and allow digestion to occur... Maybe it's stomach induced... Idk... But it's interesting ... A bass with caught prey large too... Continues to want to hunt and feed... Amazing!

Like Tom said and it's amazing to me is when you're pitching a jig.. Bam strike jerk... Land fish... Nice 3 pound fish with a 10oz bluegill in its gullet! It just blows my mind... I can not ever assume to really understand LMB!

I believe this... It's happened to me too... Started with green pumpkin black flake tubes..... Busting great #s then outta that color... No biggy right.. Same tube but red flake, nothing... 0 natta... I am not going to write a page... But it's true... Don't know why... It just is

True! No shortage of cheaper less effective plastics available though... Means more rage bugs for me!

Maybe... Just curious, but if you select a plastic with capability to float higher off the bottom... Elaztech will do that for sure .. Plus they make all the best styles/shapes.... There is also a hard plastic / foam slip sinker that will also float you're plastic bait up as well.. I get mine at BPS... In muck lighter weight but you can only go so lite... Unless you throw spinning....

Larry Nixon Da man!!

Maybe a bit lighter weight too? Idk how much you're using... I always used the C-Rig to help me figure out Bottom composition and other possible debris fields... Also elaztech baits will float up well off the bottom... You're rod will typically load up on strikes... If the bottom is soft... Lite weight or move.. Keep looking for hard bottom stumps etc... I rarely use a C-rig for just #'s but that's me! Good luck!

You should be able to Trig a worm of about any size on that lake and catch LMB .. Any lake for that matter.

I know she thumped that popper!!

I think you're right.... Alligator gar are quite the predator. I would agree with you're observations.

Yep... They (BPS) HATE when I try price matching with TW.. Lol! Oh well, you know I respect their Right to Decline, but man they seem to really get ticked off if you even ask

I can tell you assuredly I have used the above mentioned wacky jig heads in Multiple different river.. Lake scenarios... On Gycb, senkos and trick worms.. Also using strikeking ELAZTECH Plastics which have a slower rate of fall than senkos... Many ways work sometime... The fly fishing a senko tactic works as well. Don't limit you're self to only one way to do it... It's a very versatile bait.. With multiple rigging methods available. Lots of times in the Ohio River, you can't get it down fast enough.. Same with feeder creeks... Great bait, with a lot of different versions available to do things a little differently .

You can try owners ultrahead wacky style or jackall wacky jig head (tungsten) both have weed guards and come in different weights that is just one way...

As far as watching the double fluke rig.... After 3 1/2 minutes of watching the Guy tying knots? I gave up hoping to ever see the Rig swim.

Those eels are too cool!!

Something there, it does look too perfect for line grooving? Idk.... Proof positive of some anomaly

Was it fluorocarbon? I have heard some Tungsten makers causing Braid to fray? I have a lot of different makers, I just hope I don't have that happen... The bulk of mine is strikeking xcalibur and a very few pieces from BPS in flipping/ punching sizes...

Yes sir, that is right.
