Wow, that’s one heck of a field! I’m hoping to see powroznik win one this year

It’s good work if you can get it

Cousins has been benched for penix jr, only a $100,000,000 bench warmer

My buddy’s kids got a fishing magnet and no rod/reel we tried would stick to it. The kids got it stuck to the deck of a riding lawn mower and their dad had to wail on it with a sledgehammer to get it free I have seen people snag rod/reels with rattle traps and also a metal clamp stringer with all the clamps open, might be worth a try

Our big dog stepped out of the boat to chase some geese once. She initially sank , but then popped up and started swimming toward the geese. I couldn’t stop laughing and my wife was like “chase her down with the the trolling motor!” I was thinking more like , hey, she wanted to go for a swim, let her paddle around a bit so I was on low speed going after her. Wife is getting madder, I wasn’t sure why. She then explained if the dog ever hit dry land we would never catch her 😂 . I kind of forgot about that part, she was lightning fast back in those days

My wedding ring is priceless so I leave it at home and wear a groove ring from ace hardware. They have a lifetime warranty, I ripped one and got free replacement

My wife was like “how did you lose it already” I says well I’ve lived 30 however many years and never worn a ring, first day is a little tricky

I also lost my wedding ring in the platte river in NW Michigan the day after my wedding. It was my late father’s ring……. Luckily I looked down and it was right in-between my two feet! Haha. Still got it, and it’s resized this is only possible in the clear waters of Michigan, it would still be underwater if I did that in the TN river

Cool thing about a dam, you can measure the water temp below it and above it. In the fall all the way until spring time, many of our highland reservoirs will be the same temp from top to bottom. In the summer, it can be 80 degrees on top and 40 degrees on the bottom Temp stratification is also fairly non existent on the main stem TN river lakes in winter due to constant flow

You can’t lose or break expensive stuff if you never buy it

Think I’d rather eat a skunk

I’d be really skinny too if I had to eat that nastiness

I prefer river to table but I do have some raised beds 😂

Jealous, party of one!

Rain destroys things in Appalachia. Fishing, bridges, roads, vehicles, lives, etc. the French broad river is still broken from a hurricane in late sept, it may take years to come back. I heard a fisheries biologist talking about the chucky madtom in the nolichucky river watershed, he said the entire species may have finished its time on this planet with just that one storm. Hopefully that’s not the case but it’s not impossible, conservation fisheries should have a few they can re stock if the river ever comes back

Nice fish Alex!

Interesting the regional differences, for the most part I need clear water (for here that’s green) for good success. Once it turns brown the party is over so I’m always wishing for clear water/less rain unfortunately its a rain forest so it’s generally flooding

My wife’s friend has too many chickens, free protein! She gives us a few dozen eggs whenever we want them

No they never tried to kill me

I can’t do spinach. Used to eat tons of it and got food poisoning, I’d rather eat gravel now

Fishing forum…… protein…….. fish is protein!!!

😂

Are all your bass FL strain? They stock them ? I read a recent study from SC saying their fish were like 99% NLMB, I believe it was lake Murray

Hey @Pat Brown, I bet all your leaves and mud washed into the ocean after Helene

Nice fish @pdxfisher! @Swamp Girl, you would like fishing East TN, I got 9 species on a short 2-3 hour trip after work once. Seems like we might have gotten up to 14 species one day
