I have a couple spools of Berkley Big Game that are over 10 years old, and the line looks and feels brand new. Two of my reels are spooled up with it this season and I used it all last year and didn't have an issue. They've been stored in a closet the whole time.

So the MVP race.....Westbrook or Harden....or maybe Kawhi?

Mainly getting the reel dialed in, and lots of repetition.

I can lob a 5" weightless senko a far distance with a baitcaster, even with a MH rod. I feel like with some practice, a senko has enough weight to get some distance on the cast.

Fenwick Methods! I am extremely impressed with the Methods that I own, and I plan to add a couple more to my travel collection. http://www.fenwickfishing.com/fenwick-travel-rods-fenwick-methods/fenwick-methods-casting/1365070.html#start=1

I'd guess around 4 pounds. Nice fish!

Great story and beautiful Muskie

The Grizz giving The Spurs are hard time! Gonna be tough to win another in San Antonio though...that Fizdale rant really lit a fire under that Grizz team. Take that for data!

Dottie was found dead unfortunately

It will be such a disappointment if the Finals are anything other than Cavs-Warriors. They're the only teams to have swept their first round opponent and they certainly seem to be on a collision course with eachother yet again.

I was having the same issue when using them as a jig trailer. The tail wouldn't paddle unless reeled in fairly quickly. I've still caught some fish on them though. I prefer Kietechs or the YCB heart-tale swimbaits for jig trailers now.

Pretty sure it's a Jawbone frog as well.

3" or 4" weightless wacky senko.

Like others have said, try fishing after midnight.

I throw top waters regardless of if I see any surface activity, as long as the conditions are right. Usually the first I throw in the morning and I'll keep throwing it until the sun is all the way up or when the bite stops. Overcast days can have a good top water bite all day long. Evenings I throw top waters as well. Don't let the fact that you don't see any surface commotion stop you from throwing a top water. Some of my most successful top water bites have come on mornings or evenings when there was zero surface activity.

I would absolutely listen. For a while I've been hoping for Sirius XM to come out with a fishing station.

I always enjoy reading your reports. Well done.

The more important question, did you get your phone back?!

I'm lucky enough to have gotten to go on my dream fishing vacation-that's Lake Baccarac in Mexico. It's a bass fisherman's paradise, literally. A couple more places I'd love to fish before I die would be Alaska, northern Canada, and the Florida Keys.

That was something to watch. Paul George looked terrible in the second half. Took some bad shots, turned it over a lot and tried to draw shooting fouls which didn't work and was just painful to watch. Can't put it all on the Pacers though, it is the best player in the world who staged that comeback, sans Kyrie and Love nonetheless! Huge blow to the Bulls. Rondo has looked like throwback Rondo over the first two games. I've always been a Rondo fan and apologist, and I was disappointed to hear about this. I doubt Chicago will make it far enough to have Rondo back this year.

Wherever the text cursor is, the picture will post. If you write a paragraph, hit "enter" for desktop, or "return" for mobile and that way the cursor will be directly under the paragraph on the next line. The picture will then post there.

1. Jig 2. Skitter Walk 3. Wacky Senko

Dude. I feel like you've caught more muskies in the last few months than muskie fishermen catch their entire lives. Impressive catch, as always!

Chicago up 2-0 on Boston!

Cleveland barely squeaked by Indiana, but that game could have gone either way. The Cavs haven't looked like a defending champion as of late. They may have their hands full in the later rounds, and they better figure out their defensive woes before the finals, because Golden State will run them out of the arena if they don't.
