My everyday is a $5 knife so I can abuse it, I leave the collectibles at home

Here’s a pretty good one, although I still like Glenn campbells better

It was that way a couple years back when Nolan minor aka @everythingthatswims won it (or at least I think he won). Lot of wading and he used a cicada type topwater

Good lord . The link won’t work but 12 is a monster

Definition of navigable is quite vague and it’s federal . If it was historically used to transport goods….. or any of its tributaries……. so a raindrop could be navigable

@flyfisher, that is also true in TN, plenty of water is privately owned. Most ponds are private, golf course water hazards are private, and several rivers are owned out to the halfway point (old deeds). You can still float the rivers but not wade or anchor, then you are trespassing. And boy do some landowners take that waaay to seriously. It comes up often with toobers then there is a section of the Holston River where there is an ammunition plant. If you drive your boat beyond a sign, you are met with an armed guard wielding something like an AK47 ill tag @gimruis here too as he may find it interesting

Sorry to hear that, praying for yall

Hahah! We live right next to an airport on an island, constant air traffic all day long and they fly low over the boats on the takeoff/landing . They have landed in the water dozens of times! 😬 one crash landing I believe was the inspiration for the movie “cocaine bear” but I haven’t seen it. There was a guy that tried to parachute out of his plane with a backpack full of cocaine in the 80s and his parachute failed and he went splat https://www.wate.com/news/local-news/cocaine-bear-smuggler-knoxville-true-story-documentary/#:~:text=A documentary titled Cocaine Bear,untimely death outside of a

Thanks @ol'crickety, I had made a boo boo at work and she insisted we go paddling instead of me stewing over it 😂

Went for a sunset paddle with my wife, dropped the boats in at 7 . Got one little smallie that was stuck in a brush pile up against a cliff. Took forever to get it free but he was still on there. Got to watch several small planes land right over our heads too

Kind of….. I also go fishing often equipped with only one rod standing on the bank and some of the guys fishing below the dams off the bank will use an empty Mountain Dew bottle for a fishing rod and catch more than everyone else

Hard to say…… topminnow? Mosquitofish?

@DaubsNU1, those are just young pups! We’ve got a Honda fit with 310,000 miles and my dodge ram has almost 170,000

I live in a sub tropical rain forest….. last time I intentionally fished in a downpour they were biting pretty well i hate rusting all my stuff but it’s unavoidable, a sunny day can turn into hail and lightning really quick and the weatherman has absolutely no clue

I haven’t seen a wing nut in years, they started putting regular nuts on the batteries I’ve bought going back to probably 2015 or so

Ever heard John Anderson’s Atlantic City? It’s good but not Levon helm good

I recently left a job I liked for a job that actually pays decent, I wouldn’t go back haha. Now I can buy food and stuff

I like Dolly’s version better than Whitney’s

Those are optional, and expensive. You can still just chuck and anchor and paddle them, I used mine for a full year or so without a trolling motor. Seems like I caught more too

Bass boats aren’t terribly complicated, mine just has forward neutral and reverse. And a trolling motor , few switches that are clearly labeled .

I go with and without a swivel, depends on current, vegetation, etc

Zero corrosion is a pipe dream here in the jungle

He’d better get a whiff of it , definitely a scent hound not a sight hound

Not this one……
