Ah yes I seem to recall this tale . Congrats on the 4 lber

Congrats to him!

@HawkeyeSmallie, that was the 26th fatal boating accident in TN this year

Ironically, Todd Snider (singer of the song Beer Run) was attacked recently and had to cancel his tour

Honestly I’m surprised this sort of thing didn’t trickle down sooner in history. There are a billion yachts and pontoons already, throw in a couple hundred boats at the speed of highway traffic and it gets wild

How does AI locate seat cushions? Apple air tags? 😂

A couple years ago on Christmas Day I left the fireplace and walked down to my dock and caught a nice smallie, love that travel distance

Had my boat at work yesterday because of logistical reasons (good problem to have). Decided to hit the dam with the tiny amount of daylight left after work. At first I had striper on the mind but the water was coming over the top of 2 flood gates and it was too rough (flood gates make waves) for my 18 ft boat. I drifted downriver and started throwing a shad rap and was immediately greeted by a decent smallie. I then caught another small SMB, drum, and a LM. Got to a small creek mouth and saw fish busting , turned out it was small white bass and yellow bass. Caught 5 species and lost count of numbers in 1.5 hours. Fun evening ! Water temp 63

I’d bet what happens more often than not is the fish hear see smell and feel our lures and completely ignore them. I’ve seen it snorkeling

Not an outlier, Catt always echoed the same sentiment. I learned after 17 years at My last job dealing with wildlife that other than eating or reproducing , we never know why a fish or animal does anything. Humans don’t like that so we make stuff up

I found a corpse in the water . I think it’s still a cold case to this day, I want to say it was about 12-13 yrs ago maybe a little less

My truck was stuck at a boat ramp and I didn’t have any suds, I told my wife to please run to the store and gave her a $20 😂

Slow weekend but did manage to avoid the skunk . Me and a buddy went Saturday and drove all the way up to a dam, he got a striper with a Jerkbait and I got a couple small bass (LM and SM) with a purple worm. He demonstrated the wrong way to wear a PFD 😂. The scenery was excellent This morning I fished like 3 solid hours without a nibble. Then I finally came back near the dock and got a small SMB. My wife called and said why don’t you come up to the house and eat lunch so I stopped at a point near the dock where it goes from 3-5 feet down to nearly 30. I got a hit up on the shallow part and assumed it was a dink but a nice LM launched itself airborne. It was a handful on my flemsy rod, at one point I had the rod buried underwater on the starboard side and the fish was jumping directly behind me on the port side! 😂. Had another buddy come by Sunday and we fished a bit, he got a nice 14-15” LM but it wouldn’t stop raining so we called it after getting drenched
