I’m a big fan of real sugar……..

The effect of pressure is the bass get harder to catch

Nice trip after work, lots of numbers . My fly fishing buddy got the lunker for the evening, I missed a few monster topwater hits

Little bit of both…….

I can do a spinning reel but it takes a full evening and 2 glasses of scotch mixed with some trial and error ”what’s this doodad for?”

Baitcasters are easier than spinning reels. If you fish out of canoes and kayaks and wade fish like me, there’s a lot of gunk in there haha. I’ve even found some tiny rocks inside

I keep bags of zoom dead ringers in the pockets of all my pants and jackets…….. never know when you might need one

This guy went by me within 10-15 feet this evening, he gave a wide berth on the return trip down river (in the photo). He was so close the first time I didn’t want to take a pic haha

Wacky rig seems like a huge lure to me, I’m the opposite end of the spectrum

If you do, separate the tail from the body before using, it’s extremely loud. I think all rage baits have this feature with appendages

@ol'crickety, it’s like a weedless whopper plopper 😂

Got one on the rage shad just before dark, he obliterated it right near the trolling motor and I just assumed it was a miss but set the hook hard anyway. The gamakatsu nano alpha hook/50 lb seaguar tactx pinned the fish and put a decent smallie in the boat . I also caught some dinks and a mooneye trolling a shad rap before that.

Beauties

Thats what you get for trying to appease the toughest of crowds 😂

He gave me some! Pre-rigged and everything

It’s definitely not 49 during the doldrums in TN

Great googly moogly

Gotta love a restaurant with this view

The low was 49 not 40, but still a tad chilly up on the mtn

@volzfan59, I didn’t even attempt to read it , what’s the cliff notes version? 😂 I never understood it before, 6 rounds and some zeroing somewhere, bout like reading my insurance policy

That SMB looks massive

Saw this yesterday and some bears

Same here!
