I stayed a night in escanaba this summer, kind of felt like an abandoned town. Mildly sketchy 😂 Black bass are my favorite, with a slight edge to SMB since they are the most common in my area. I don’t know what got me hooked on them, I’ve been a hopeless addict since my first memory

Whoa! They grow fast

White pine too, note the uninodal growth of all the branches….. oh lord I’ve become the tree nerd

Bout $30/yr for one of them, little less for the shorter boat. Going up again this yr, not sure how much yet

Thank you! Love the history on this stuff.

Hmmm some reason we always called that thing tied to the rod a hellbender

I would imagine trolling a hellbender would get way down deep over 20 ft, those things really pull

This picture was taken at 5:59 pm on Monday and this was at 6:37 with a full moon rising, getting dark but still a sliver of daylight

It’s not exactly quiet and calm like Maine, it’s a zoo for humans most of the year. There were a bunch of people cold plunging in the snow haha. Check out this wild video from the quarry this summer when a cliff collapsed and a resulting tsunami washed people and pets up into the woods

@Dwight Hottle, wasn’t his deep diver a hellbender for that world record ? My grandpa had several of those, I’ve still got one

I’ve got 6 boats and still bank fish often. When it’s raining, when it’s windy, when I only have 30-45 minutes of free time , etc

My house is still covered in snow and ice, I had to implement a hammer to clean the gutters yesterday, that was a first

@Functional, unfortunately I have no idea, it was a long time ago Chicago? I had an Italian beef back in 1998 and it was heavenly

I remember that! RIP Kirby Puckett

I think I heard the state of Minnesota professional sports teams are on a 126 year cumulative drought without making any championships.

Records are more popular than anything non digital right now , they’ve made quite the comeback We have been listening to Rachel Baiman play the fiddle, got the record at one of her concerts. She plays shows with a few of my fishing buddies

I had a pastrami on rye at a Jewish deli in NYC. It was tasty but there is nowhere that will let you pee in that city so I was intentionally dehydrated, then I ate that . Thought I was in the middle of the Sahara desert

Smallmouth Tarzan !!! I could see myself somehow destroying a light fixture if I tried that

Me

Thats how it goes for me nearly every time

If only that worked!!! I go back to where I caught one trolling all the time and work the area casting thoroughly, never get a bite. Troll back thru and they will bite that’s why they just keep going when they catch one haha
