It could also be argued that the males are more important to reproduction as they guard the nest and females don’t

Hahah true but it’s still a bell curve and that dump truck load gets lighter when they are old How do you know if they are male vs female if you don’t cut them open? And so you’re telling me a female bass goes from an egg straight to an 18”er?

@thediscochef , actually those 14-17” fish are the prime breeding stock. Mamaw and papaw don’t horizontal polka much anymore, humans or fish.

Weightless worm against the stumps

My Wagner at Martin prediction was way better than my gross at guntersville prediction

I like to catch fish and guntersville is a poop show

Bobby would be getting big ones night fishing in summer, not a bad idea

I’m always more than thrilled to be fishing. The only thing that puts a damper on it is rowers haha

Hey I thought you turned it off……. 😂

I keep thinking dang I wanna go there to and fish! Much more appealing to me than guntersville One guy got a striper in practice that bottomed out a 50 lb scale and I love catching Alabama bass (the artist formerly known as coosa spots) Everyone is saying they caught 30-50 fish , if that’s wrong I don’t wanna be right

I’ve skipped school just to not catch a trout

THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY ENTIRE FISHING CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A boat full of rowers got stuck on a mud flat. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited to see something!!!!! The guy on the megaphone in the boat that runs you over said “nobody saw what happened” as they all had to get out in the ankle deep water and move their boat. I shouted from my kayak with the gusto of a million trumpets “I saw what happened!!!! I saw it!!!!” Honestly, I’m still giddy. I have a picture of an abandoned bass boat on the same mud flat 10 years ago. Y’all know me, I’m a nice guy. But there is nothing more annoying on the water than rowers. They come within 10 feet of your boat every single time they pass, which is like a dozen in a short trip after work. Several times I could reach out and smack them with my paddle. And then there is the noise. My goodness the noise. They absolutely refuse to shut up. The sound of a mosquito in your ear is heavenly compared to a bunch of screaming giggling rowers that won’t get the heck away from someone trying to fish. I’ve offered them $20 the get the heck away from me several times. To see their dumb rear ends stuck in the mud made my year. Here is a pic of them freeing the boat, kind of hard to see. Now back to the fish…….. Hit the river after work from 4:30-6:30. Caught crappie yellow bass and bluegill. Saw several herons standing in rows, pretty cool formations. I was also treated to a wonderful sunset

I used to always click the time of post to get the last one, that seems to work about 1/3 of the time now.

Hank Cherry posted and video and said “Sabine River….. I mean lake Martin” haha I did see someone caught a 50 ish lb striper in practice, said it took them over 20 minutes to reel it in and it bottomed out a 50 lb scale

Bob!!! Our hearts ache for you and your family. But we love ya and are praying for everyone, BR crew is here when you need us

I encountered a perfect sonar bait ball for you last night @HawkeyeSmallie

I like the Wagner pick, he is the Lanier master of the spotted bass

I was actually thinking this morning it’s about time for Brian to be fishing……. Ask and ye shall receive

I think they were white bass crappie and drum , probably some sauger and walleye But mostly white Bass because I have hundreds of pictures just like that from this time of year and I’m always catching tons and tons of white bass

Seems like st Lawrence would be the place to fish for a trophy. The river smallies bite really well here in the summer time but it’s not exactly an exotic destination for a bucket list and our 21 inch SMB weigh about 4-5 lbs instead of 6-7
