If I had a nickel for every carp I’ve bombed a topwater at…….. id have like $35 😂 I always tell my buddies the bass will usually jump more than once in the same spot and you’ll see the shad jumping trying to get away. Eventually you can distinguish the sound difference in a bass engulfing something and a carp just jumping for fun. But better safe than sorry so I bomb the topwater anyway

When the pros recently fished the TN river in Alabama they said “FFS doesn’t help on this river because of all the trash fish” 😂 Its a drum party all day and night and the gar are always invited I love gar fishing and I always sight fish for them @Zcoker, I had an osprey fool me once in the saltwater. I saw them repeatedly diving so I paddled my tiny kayak over in excitement. After a few minutes of fruitless fishing I sat and watched the birds. An adult bird was just teaching a juvenile how to dive bomb into the water, they weren’t grabbing any fish and neither was I hahahah

😂 I caught a spotted that had been on a moonshine bender once, I barely lived to tell about it

Spotted bass diet is purely crack cocaine and Marlboro reds

Laying it there is easy, getting it to hold still with its mouth closed after you let go is what I can’t do. Easy to hold the mouth closed and get a measurement but as soon as you let go to take the pic they go wild and flop all over if you leave the mouth open they just lay there still on the board.

My problem with cooking shows: having to watch them when my wife has the remote control thank god for bass resource in moment like those

I have a buddy that fishes livewell tournaments and he tried a kayak tournament. He said “that’s way too much work trying to get the photo” and never fished another one for as much as they champion releasing the fish, they could release it dead and nobody would ever know the only reason I try to close their mouth is to see if I can legally eat them 😂

I’ve done lots of both, they work well but both are snaggy. I much prefer the soft plastics on a jig head for rivers but a change of pace can be good. Since Carolina rig takes forever to retie I use pinch on bullet weights when I know I’m going to be losing them. They are called bull shot my problem with the drop shot is usually current twisting the rig but it will catch them. I need to rig it weedless more often but I just love the small nose hook

Awesome fish! It’s hard for me to keep their mouth closed also, especially with SMB

Isle royale

I’m going to need some pike next week but I can only take 40 lbs of gear including tent, food, and all. And my hooks have to be barbless and only taking a small 2 piece spinning rod so I don’t think spinnerbait will make the trip

Doggone it I had one I think I threw away after a few years in the shed . I’ll double check after work if I think about it

Lebron would have made a helluva soccer player

Nice bass! And I caught a stray……. you could catch fish with your car keys

TN had 4 guys drafted last night. Christian Moore to the angles at 8 Blake Burke to the brew crew at 34 Billy Amick to Minnesota at 60 Dylan Dreiling to the Rangers at 65 also former TN pitcher chase burns that transferred to wake forest in the offseason got picked 2nd

I think these people are full of crap and condescending and should mind their own business and I wouldn’t listen to their nonsense who goes around telling other people what their fishing experience should be? Theres one such guy on YouTube that makes 3 videos a day doing just that 😂

@Woody B, that’s a Spotapotamus. Bet you thought you had another monster catfish , I can’t imagine the fight

Hope you get to feeling better soon spankey. My father in law just got done with a 4 day hospital stay for pneumonia

Got in some of what I believe was earlier referred to as squishing (squishing in fishing before a social function) from 7-11:30 today , captured a couple. One Kentucky spot on the besotted popper, also got to use my new seaguar braid. Pretty cool stuff ! That popper is light and I was throwing it quite a ways. The smallie hit half a purple worm on a jighead. Water temp 75 upriver here’s the line tied to backing via alright knot, it’s pink and yellow like a fly fishing strike indicator

Yikes!!!!!

How you gonna cut braid with a Glock? Wait don’t answer that 😂

Go big orange i I can’t walk around without one, at this point it feels like not having your wallet or keys 😂

River smallies love hot sunny weather thank goodness

My last place cubbies swept the orioles for ya…..
