One of the best things I heard from yesterday was that pat forde got hit with pepper spray at the big game in Columbus, that’s simply compelling and rich

Where do I start?! Haha. I got a lot of stuff to do but I’d rather put it off and go fishing or chop wood got drywall to finish in the basement, new toilet/tile/vanity to do in a bathroom, new deck to build, probably a few more I’m forgetting

It was 22 degrees here this morning

We are in but we got probs 😂

No need to be nervous, playoffs is the last place we want to be, this team is just bad. I sat row 1 last week and it was embarrassing

Strangely, we had 2 feet of snow on March 13, 1993 where I grew up in Maryville. They got 5 feet on mount leconte the same day

Wow!!!! Pretty wild

Wouldn’t that be nice!

@gimruis, I wouldn’t necessarily call coyotes native to the eastern US. They hadn’t made it across the Mississippi River until the 70s and early 80s . Their native range is Mexico and the American southwest

Regulations specific for each body of water. I would love to eat 12” bass but it’s illegal in almost every reservoir

we got plenty of coyotes and foxes, the foxes will live underneath the stairs going into your front door. Red ones and grey ones. I’ve caught several of them on accident

I rarely get a keeper LM, I’d starve! 😂 they have to be 14” or 15” depending on where you’re at (thank god for white bass)

Pee like a 2 time classic champ https://www.instagram.com/reel/C66UZwOrK2q/?igsh=MWdzZ3dzajNuamliNw== it’ll get a fish into the boat more often than you’d think

Coywolf? I forgot my wife had a cat killed by coyotes way back in the day. Cats are definitely much more in their wheelhouse, but domestic dogs will also kill cats

That’s why farm raised fish often have higher contaminant levels than wild caught, their diet consists of only of fish food, which is ground up contaminated fish

Jigs come thru grass great for me , yours must have some slime mixed in

We have those too, mostly for catfish. The irony is commercial fishermen sell the same fish to grocery stores

I’ve never fished NY but the other northern states I’ve fished actually have meat fishermen. In the south you can be publicly shamed and potentially beaten for eating a single bass

That would be nice, but also illegal in almost any waters I fish. SMB have to be 18” to harvest

You don’t have to be near a farm to have coyotes, like @gimruis said . I hear them nearly every time I’m at my mom’s house in a subdivision within city limits. Years ago her newsletter said there were 400 dogs in her subdivision (probably closer to 500 by now ) and a coyote has never reportedly killed one (and these are the HOA type of people that talk about every detail of life way too much). So if it occurred, word would spread like coyote seed It’s not impossible but easily avoidable

Preach it! A couple of great takeaways from the article. One is the fact that everyone thinks a bass automatically gets bigger when you let it go. That would be nice but it’s not the case most of the time. Only a select few have the potential to get huge, too many mouths to feed. Plenty of studies have shown old bass that were just a pound or two. They often plateau in size and keep on living. Another factor that people don’t want to believe is this paragraph I took a screenshot of unfortunately anglers cannot wrap their minds around this and probably never will

I’m hoping my wife bought them all because she saw my phone open to Mike’s page and said “is that a fly??” 😂

And I think my gps data says Nashville . Every time I look up anything on my phone it’s in Nashville. Game times are all central, stores are all Davidson county, etc

Right back at ya. 🦃 I’m too hillbilly for mind muscle connection, I just figure there are a lot of threads so I tighten it until it’s tight, never had one come off 😂 now I have hit a rock and broken a prop trying to drive thru rapids, would not recommend
