Sorry to hear that. Hope surgery turns out for the best.

Most tackle lost
I hardly lose lures, when you fish shallow you can get most back, I do lose some to hitting rocks and breaking the bill off. I have a pole retriever that helps get snagged lures back.

Do you mainly fish from the bank or boat?
98% boat, The only time I fish from the band is when I fish the ponds at the golf course.

Do you scuff your worms?
Not a scuffer but I do add scent!!!

bladed jig colors
As most of my baits, my color selection is very limited. I throw Green Pumpkin, Chart,/white and Red/Orange early in the year.

Ned rig grub?
I have fished the Z Man lineup since they come out, they catch fish, They are the cheapest to use because they last forever, as long as you don't hang up and have to break off. I also like that they stand up on the bottom., great for dead sticking. I am mainly use the TRD and the Finesse Worm in Junebug or Green Pumpkin.

How do you set your drag?
I lock the drag down on my bait casters, if big fish, push the thumbar and use my thumb as a drag. This is probably not the smartest but it works for me.

Sloped driveway
I see 3 solutions, get a different hitch, or different jack, or different house. When I bought my last house, we had a hard time finding one because I wanted my boat in the garage. Nearly drove my wife crazy!!!

Big bait talk
I thinking throwing those big baits would wear me out at my age. All I throw is lightweight stuff, the biggest thing I throw is a 8" lizard. '

What´s your favorite lure for spawning Bass?
In my part of the world a Zoom 8" lizard in Junebug is the ticket. Throw it past the bed and worked slow, then slow down some more!!!

What do you think about eating bass?
I have nothing against keeping and eating bass, I fed my family fish when I had kids. The whole family loved it. I caught 90% from a 12 acre lake that needed small fish to be taken out. I never kept anything over 2 pounds, Now days I still kept some ever now and then but never over 3 pounds, my reservoir has a over 14 inch rule.

a surprise success
I think blue is one of those "sleeper" colors. I picked up some blue crankbaits last week, excited to try them out. Bill Dance once said you can use any color plastic worm as long as it is blue. Where did I put that Color-C-Lector?
-
What next?
Two problems as far as I am concerned, too big and too expensive. I buy a lot of baits but I will never spend $150 on 1 bait.

Can you tie an FG Knot?
Can not tie it. Like others, I have watched video after video after video. Finally gave up and I will just stay with my Alberto knot. Really don't know why I wanted to tie it, the Alberto is easy and fast and works!!!
