Went fishing off the bank after work , hands nearly froze off. Caught a ton of bluegill, one crappie and one perch. The sidewalk gathered a forest worth of lumber during the late September hurricane

My brother also drives a stick shift crosstrek I’ve never owned an auto transmission

I must be in the minority but I’ve never once worried about the proximity of a dealership. Dealerships are the absolute last place I would ever take a vehicle for repair. Only purchase

But that pic is a largemouth…….

Start utilizing backreel instead of drag if you really want to make them angry 🤣

Why not? It’s pretty cool! I’ve fished Alaska and the Florida keys and I hate traveling 😂

Welcome!!! Can’t help with rigging but nice boat!!!!

I left my house this morning, roads 100% dry. Got near work and all roads were ice skating rinks, added 30 minutes to the commute. Saw a dually sliding all over creation

I don’t think I’ve ever fallen for any, I’m always skeptical. I would say the walking worm back when I was a kid, but I slayed fish with those things

I’ve caught 3&1/2 or 4 lbs Kentucky strain but the coosa strain get up close to 7 lbs here. I believe the coosa strain (now reclassified as Alabama bass) is what exists in Northern California and reaches over 10 lbs. fun fact: when I type the decimal form of 3 and a half, the website makes it all asterisks

I’ve fished for spots in their native range on the Alabama River/mobile basin for 25 yrs every summer, they are as mean as they come. When they grab a buzzbait in water willow, it makes you wish you were connected to the vessel for safety purposes

Those were my old ones I bought off Craigslist way back, any after about 2010 seem pretty well waterproofed

Nice fish @Team9nine, sounds like you’re experiencing the renowned accuracy of meteorology in the southeast 😂

They will last forever if you don’t fish in the rain! 😂 I’ve got a couple Lowrance that are over 10 years old, one probably closer to 15 yrs had some in the past get water inside the screen , I’ve also destroyed the pins in the back where you plug it in once @Team9nine has a functioning flasher from….. I don’t know, 1980s ?

Wasn’t Blair one of the golden girls? I’ve never heard of naming them either but I know some people that called the one last year some very creative strings of curse words geez buddy you’re gettin it

@Fishingmickey, yeah my buddy got me a shimano as a gift and didn’t realize that. I’m always reaching for the switch on that one ! Haha

Atta boy!!!

There were 577 crashes in Minnesota on Wednesday, probably all those people telling southerners they don’t know how to drive

I use it because it’s not a setting, it is dynamic

One of my first dates with my wife I was going up steam thru some rapids and the current started taking us downstream sideways. We hit a rock and she went flying , somehow the canoe righted itself and I was still standing there in it. After she got done spitting out river rocks and water, she was not thrilled to see me standing in the canoe haha

I paddled a tiny cheap kayak 3-4 miles into a maze of mangroves out of ft myers Florida once. Didn’t realize the sunshine state got fog in the ocean……. And it did. Couldn’t see jack, just had to guess which way the hotel was. Luckily I guessed correctly 😂

Heckuva day !!!!

Backreel battle

Got the first black bass of the year today

I feel your pain man, my wife has caught one too and never lets me forget. She also got a 36 lb striper
