    I'm the father!
  2. Yup, freshwater drum a.k.a. "sheepshead" a.k.a. "goat" a.k.a. "dork fish"...
  3. Welcome to Bass Resource! I drive through Ashland every summer on my way to Kentucky Lake. Good luck at Dale Hollow, I hope you catch giant brown bass. Post pics when you return!
  4. Welcome to Bass Resource and good luck at Dale Hollow!
  5. Congrats on your new personal best. Beautiful fish!!
  6. That's the power of Bass Resource at work right there! I'm so proud to be a part of this community!!!!!
  7. Not at my local Walmart though, they sell only 200 yard spools. But that works for me. I can fill my reel twice and still have some line left over to use for leaders on my spinning rod.
  8. I have never used 12-15# Red Label but I've been using 10# on a baitcaster for awhile now. Before this I tried Invizx, Abrazx, Sunline Sniper, and Gander Mountain FC and had good luck with all of them but finally decided to try Red Label because I can get a 200 yard spool at Walmart for $11. I use a small reel and can spool up twice with this. I use KVD L&L and I've never had any line management problems.
  9. Wow! That's all I can say. Thanks for sharing your Final Final Push with us A-Jay.
  10. Welcome to Bass Resource Cody from a fellow West Virginian!
  11. Congratulations on catching your PB!!! 19" is my PB smallie too.
  12. I was born and raised in Wisconsin so I understand you dreading the hard water that is coming your way soon. I never enjoyed ice fishing and would only go if I had a buddy with a warm ice shanty. I still remember riding in a car on Lake Winnebago the first time at 12 years old with my uncle, talk about FREAKED OUT!! I'm lucky that I now fish the Upper Potomac River and no matter how cold it gets I can always find part of the river that's soft enough to get a bait wet. I rarely catch any smallies but once in a while a walleye will bite. Even with no bites it's nice to have my bait splash instead of bounce. I don't take that for granted...
  13. Yup, "edge of your seat" intense. All of us were yelling at the TV "Do it! Do it! Do it!"
  14. Totally agree. The way Negan was so calm and matter-of-fact about the whole thing was really unsettling. My only disappointment was that he stopped Rick from chopping Carl's arm off. That would have been CRAZY!!!!!!
  15. Mr. Shimmy, you are the man. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
  16. I agree with everybody's comments in this thread. The spinning rod I use is a ML/XF with 10# braid mainline and a fluorocarbon leader. You can't horse in a big fish in current, but I've never felt under-gunned.
  17. Thanks for the comments and the videos guys! I'm sure part of my challenge is that I don't have a boat or kayak so I'm wading or fishing from the bank. Either way I'm pretty limited in how much river I can cover during a fishing trip. I can't search and search until I find fish, I have to pick an area I hope will hold some fish. I'm going to keep looking for new parts of the river to fish this fall/winter as they have to be in there somewhere!
  18. I experience the same thing in the sections of the Upper Potomac I fish. In the summer when the water is in the upper 70s there are smallmouth everywhere I wade, but as the water cools down in the fall I have trouble finding fish. Right now the water temp is in the low 60s and last Sunday I fished 7 hours for 7 bites. I don't know if the fish are more spread out or have already moved out of the shallower water I'm wading. But I struggle.
  19. I don't use Senkos, but I t-rig a 4" YUM Dinger and 4.25" BPS Stik-O quite a bit for smallies.
  20. Welcome to Bass Resource Evan! The only time I ever fished the Susquehanna was this past April but I caught my PB smallie that day. Definitely going back!
  21. Welcome to Bass Resource Little Scrooge! I've never fished Lake Barkley but I fish Kentucky Lake one week a year. And I think about fishing Kentucky Lake every single day of the other 51 weeks. Every single day....
  22. OK, I can't figure it out. What does TDIL stand for?
  23. Yup, though instead of a fluke I really like Gulp minnows. I've caught smallmouth, largemouth, walleyes, catfish, even a couple muskies on a Gulp minnow.
