  1. Been signed up on these forums for a long long time and come back occasionally to read up. Wanted to make a post and just speak of my dreams. I'm 42 years old and have been bass fishing for probably 30 years. I'm pretty good at it. I know what to do given so many variables, etc. Rarely get skunked, and constantly landing 3-4 pounders. Can't complain about that. Anyway, I decided way back when that my ultimate goal is to catch a double digit bass. After all these years I haven't done it. I'm a chef and my work hours are absolutely insane, leaving me basically brain dead when I have time off so even if I do fish it's pretty lazy and easy going. I have a capable kayak setup which is always a blast to use when I actually take it out. My PB was caught in New Jersey at 7lbs when I was a teenager. I now live in Florida, and the crazy thing is, the best I got here is 6.2 pounds. Starting to feel life slip away from me. All of the beautiful days that I could be on the water instead I'm working and I can't help but think that I'm missing every single opportunity to bring my dream into reality. Too tired to go out when I actually have the time, but you have to be there to make it happen. So, I dont know...as a point of discussion, I was wondering if anybody feels the same? Is it that hard? I look at Instagram and see people catching double digit bass pretty regularly. Christ, those tactical bassin guys make it sound easy. I just want one. Then I can die off in peace and leave a mount for somebody else to deal with.
  2. I have been using an ascend 128t with yak power for 2 years now. I love it. I know pedal drives are amazing, but I don't mind the exercise involved with paddling that beast around. It's heavy, and most inportantly, it's stable. I can stand on it with no issues. I've dealt with pretty extreme winds, currents, and waves in it and felt pretty safe, but keep in mind I am decent with my paddles and you have to pay attention to what is going on in windy situations. I drive a little Subaru car, but I can keep it on the roof of my car no problem. There is a company that sells trolling motors and mounts customized just for that hull that mount into the rear rod holders if you want it. Downside for me is that the hatches are not waterproof. When I keep if on my car, it will fill with water when it rains, which is bad for the wiring inside and it's a ***** to clean. At the end of the day, it's a nice little boat and I love it. There's a newer model out there that I'd like to try, but if I was going to upgrade, I'd probably get a pedal drive
  3. The shorter/curved side does seem to be the logical place to tie it, but I don't really see what the point of using the oval ring is to begin with. I think I'm overthinking this
  4. Hello. I tried searching for info on this, but it's a strange and oddly specific thing to search for and I can't find answers. Some of my crankbaits (strike kings) come with a rectangular split ring on the lip and I have been unsure of where I should tie my knot onto it. Should the knot be tightened on the longer length of the split ring, or the shorter length? Does tying it onto either specific side give certain pros/cons? Thanks for reading.
  5. I'm usually happy to start up a conversation or give pointers. It feels good to be helpful sometimes.
