Boat Nearly Collides With Kayak.....
The guy in the front of the boat is blocking the drivers view. Thats why I took the seat off the bow of my ‘57, couldn’t see around it . Never got that close but had a buddy in the front one time tell me to shut it down because I was approaching a canoe. Took the seat off that night

@ol'crickety, I think it’s because a massive river with no grass is not well suited for growing large numbers of big LM. Fishing pressure would mean they are still there, just not biting. They simply don’t exist. good example of this point is chickamauga and guntersville. Same river with a bunch of shallow backwaters full of grass, people catch 10 lbers. growing season doesn’t matter if the habitat is not present

I would have to disagree with that part if you compare it to Knoxville, TN. They don’t grow like that here 😂. 5 fish stingers of 14 lbs will win you the bassmaster classic and they will all be smallmouth. Regular catches of 4-6 lb LM are non existent, and catching 30-40 LM is very rare I think your bogs are clearly good habitat for growing big fat bass

What is your craziest fishing story?
I’ve got several but finding a corpse is still the craziest I would think

Ticks in my bed, tore bed apart went back to sleep.
I have no clue why doctors refuse to help people with Lyme. They told a girl I went to college with that the disease didn’t exist in TN, well by golly she had it. Guess that’s why they call it medical “practice”

River levels in midwest ND, What a differance from last year.
Just saying the fish can and will adapt. And so should we. Droughts and floods are as old as the hills

I saw the guy that holds the world record at the ramp near my house last week. He’s a licensed bait dealer that sells skipjack all over the US

Dermatologist recommended I use a different sunscreen
It’s good to let the sun hit your skin in moderation, opens up the blood vessels a tad. Stroke will get ya before skin cancer will statistically

Not just Lyme, also Rocky Mountain spotted fever and alpha gal which are much more common in our area I’ve woken up in the middle of the night several times with a tick crawling on me , side effect of my wife letting 3 dogs sleep at the foot of the bed

I’ve never fished Mississippi River so I could be way off. People seem to catch goldeye there too

@ol'crickety, sounds to me like maybe you have caught skipjack. They are shaped just like tarpon, fight hard and jump often. Mooneye are much smaller rounder and rarely jump. Granted I only catch 2-3 mooneye per year, but I catch several hundred skipjack per year

Things got wild last night. Lost count quickly, lots of skipjack and white bass. Got several reeling a boot tail fluke across the surface, they were cartwheeling up and over it repeatedly, crazy. The 2/0 gamakatsu nano alpha was sticking them well, even right in the dorsal fin 😂
