Would you want to watch fla vs tn in the national title game? Not that it would happen in the next decade........ also, if Georgia was 0-8 in the conference I would imagine the dawgs might be a tad bitter

Loaded question! Which part of TN? What's your PB that you are looking to break? How far do you want to be from civilization/cell phone service?

Yea I like fly fishing, got kind of burned out working as a fly fishing guide but I don't do that full time anymore (thank god). Now my fly fishing is for fun, I like it mostly for bluegill and trout. The fight is better on the fly rods, trout don't fight well with a jerkbait in their face unless they are fairly huge. I picked up an eagle claw fiberglass feather light 6'6" fly rod that makes rainbows fight like tuna

I'd rather watch figure skating than watch bama v Georgia....... maybe the field will collapse and both teams will fall into the center of the earth.........

@12poundbass, our half Pyrenees only guards against other dogs, she loves people. She was an oops baby....... @A-Jay, my phone took a minute to load and that middle picture was cut off at the bottom......i thought trucker was licking your face while you were standing straight up! Those dogs are still huge but I thought it was wolf sized until the picture loaded

See the panfish???

I get a local guy to hand pour a bunch of stuff for me. Everything he makes floats like a cork and is super soft, unlike elaztech

This is why I shop in stores that you walk into

Tennessee river system was good to me last week. Also some dude caught a 14 lb bass in chickamauga last week! There are probably locations closer to you with open water though.

What an awesome ending to the story! Way to stick it out basschump! Kudos to everyone who helped and of course thanks and praise be to the Man upstairs who taught us all kindness

Wethinks beagle/basset on the left (male named bo). Half Pyrenees on the right (female named Cori)

I was pulling for the Sooners! which is most likely why they lost

It won't weigh the shiner down but it may float it, I use 50 a lot and it takes the lures forever to sink

I have never bought a rod over $40, not really sure why sorted through this topic hahahaha

Why do they always have the classic on the same lakes that they have already had them on? Logistics?

Just glad I don't have ice!!!! The only way I can take reels apart and successfully put them back together is individual trial and error, the spreadsheet would be way trickier than the reel for a technologically challenged individual like myself. Also, not sure if this exists where you are, but people will go through a fishing reel and clean it and replace broken parts for like $17. No clue how or why they do it this cheap but take advantage if you find someone. The people that fix reels are typically old guys with awesome fishing stories that make great friends too!

Guides on the rods freezing is the least of your worries at that temp. You can soak them with wd40 and it will delay the freezing. The major problems are steering cable, impeller, starter, and launching your truck into the river. I have had all these things freeze on me but I still haven't dumped a truck in he river yet. Came really close twice and have seen it happen twice. My steering cable was frozen once so I decided to be a he-man and turn the wheel. Well that broke it. Had to fish all day using a paddle on plane to turn. I'm still pretty dumb but at least I was younger then. I have been putting off changing my gear lube here recently. I try to change it frequently because some seals are busted and water gets in. The two days after Christmas my lower unit was frozen stiff, finally changed the lube with the aid of a space heater the other day. I was getting a warning beep even after it warmed up and the impeller was peeing

Pretty cool! Seems like a nice lake, Mr. Wetline certainly does damage up there

Youre welcome. -bengals

Also a non facebooker but I'm sure I saw all the fish on this forum! Here's to an equally fun 2018! ?

Way to just blow us all outta the water Dwight.........

Did a young A-Jay fish the quabbin back in the day??

No weights but 3 largemouth around 8 lb and a smallmouth probably close to 6. Top fish picture is from a mountain lake in East Tennessee 2 days after Christmas on a gold silver buddy. Middle fish was in east Texas on a Texas rig. Bottom fish was not very far from my house. Last two pictures are both in my late grandfathers 1957 Cherokee aluminum boat

I miss your reports! Keep up the good work
