haha ya you right. Can't get much passed yall

I've had my first child. And words can't describe how I feel. Fishing will definitely take a backseat to my newborn baby girl.

I had 2 DT 6 break right behind the line tie in the same day. On fish, not rocks or cement. Rapala did sendme new ones. After I called and complained.

Sounds good. You can't skip a round rock. The bait is what you should focus on. And casting tehcnique make sure to follow through after. I learned with bigger soft swimbaits. And then moved to arkie jigs. And t rigged beavers with pegged weights. Its fun skipping docks and overhangs. And getting looks from people like you just hung the moon. Helps if water is glass. On heavy wind chop you can forget about it. I believe rod and reel are second in importance to skill and bait selection while skipping.

I finally bought some flippING hooks because of all the hype. Are they that much better than regular offset Worm hooks in the hookup ratio. Can you cast all plastics with them and remain weedless. Ive never had a problem missing too many fish with regular worm hooks. But had to give them a shot.

I've had some great days while listening to music. And I've also gotten skunked.

Splitting hairs. I'm a gammy man for the most part. I only get picky when it comes to weighted swimbait hooks. Then it's either lake fork tackle or owner beast. To me for the most part a hook is a hook. Match your tackle as sharp is good

I was at a college party with all my buddys the same day. And was feeling no pain.

InvisX isnt bad but it's stretchy. Abrasive is less stretchy but more stiff. I prefer trilene 100% fc or shooter

I have the s waver. It's good. It runs a few feet below the surface. I guess it does sink but does so very very slowly. I started out buying 168 and 178 versions. And they are good to start out with. But now I wish I would have started throwing the bigger 250 glide baits sooner. I think the bigger baits have better action. More drawing power. And it's easy to over work the smaller baits. All you need is a r2s s waver. And a hud deluxe in my opinion

Swimbait fishing with a buddy he reties leaving a hell of alot of left over tag line. Clips the wrong one and threw a rof5 hud68 down the drain. Followed by a few words they don't teach in school.

I had a curado bantam cu 200. Casted very well. Drag was a bit sticky. A little big and bulky compared to the new stuff.

last week I changed my pre departure sequence a little bit. Forgot to put the plug in. Realized after 4 hours of fishing! Never even noticed

that was gonna be my next choice. I have that rod in e6x and imx and it's great

Extreme mission type f.

Typically I'd say no. One day this summer. I went out caught 3 all morning. Went back to the ramp to load the boat, and caught 4 off the ramp.

Yup. If you are serious contact lake fork taxidermy. It's a little steep. 350 for a 10 pounder. I think a little less for a smaller fish. But they do world class work

how did you end up doing?

All great answers. I don't drink at all anymore. But don't mind others having a few responsibly. reb67 said it best. Catching fish should come second to bonding with my brother in law... but I still plan on getting bit!
