Gimme them birds!!!

My cousin killed a small doe with a bow , he hunts to eat

Nice!

I just told everyone to watch for bones and i spit them out, seems like out of 6 of us I was the only one getting any bones. I’ve also pan fried and eaten the fillets with a fork. I did cut them up into small chunks before deep frying like you would catfish so it was easier to see the pieces with tons of bones and throw them out

I def found them much easier to harvest in MN, there was one tricky set of regs that I think was on rainy lake but it still allowed to harvest some small ones. Michigan the only place I could keep the small ones was the inland lakes of isle royale, Lake Superior itself they had to be 24”. I caught one off a dock that was pretty close but it took me forever to get the hook out and my measuring tape was in a backpack so I just let it go. The thing sat there motionless on the bottom, upright in clear water. Then it was magically gone

I’d weigh 500 lbs eating fried fish everyday if we had pike haha. Most of our easy to catch fish have limits that prevent easy consumption (except white bass)

I love pike! Aggressive fish that you can catch, hold, and even eat without the scrutiny associated with their esox cousins

Extremely common occurrence on the TN river in fall, don’t feel bad. Usually a jig or Texas rig is what I go for , show them something different because you can’t beat the real thing another option is throwing a spoon deep under the blitz, although it gets walloped by big catfish often

I used to be able to say the wind never blows from the east where I live but it sure has this year

Everyone is different but a vacation would be the absolute worst time for me to clear my head and think

Fishing my own way is the only way I’ve ever done any good at all, trying other peoples stuff is almost always a failure

Trying to clear the neighbors tree without the logs going downhill at warp speed, tried to build a little barrier but one got away last week

Paddled around a ways this morning from the dock, leaves are starting to get pretty . Made it out to main channel and tossed a light carolina rig and caught 5 or 6 small ones, gamakatsu nano alpha 1/0 and black zoom finesse worm

You beat me to it

Night fishing is forbidden in the smoky mtn national park so I’ve never tried wading for Browns but we do have some Tailwaters you can boat at night. And you have the river completely to yourself without a doubt because nobody else is crazy enough to try it 😂. We’ve hit some rocks

The other two dogs have more gray than me 😂 granted they are geriatrics

can I pet that daaaawwwgggg

My headaches are when the battery reads 9v not 13 😂

I’d love to run shuttle with ya some day! I always seem to find myself in Michigan so it’s not out of the realm of possibility

Nope

Fly fishing at night sounds fun until you try it haha

Anytime, I have no lithium experience but that’s def a full voltage reading from any battery I’ve ever had (except a crank battery while it’s running ) you could probably set the trolling motor bedside and use it as a fan all night like the guy in the old deep cycle commercial 😂 I’ve talked to guys that fish long days 2-3 times without charging and their lithium’s are still peppy

I’d try running it for a few hours and see what she reads

That CB that locked him up Saturday in Knoxville made some good future NFL money
