A worm! Same as all the other seasons granted two of the biggest I’ve ever caught were with rattle trap . But I’m always throwing a worm if I’m bass fishing

let’s go for a ride sometime ! That video was taken with 3 guys over 200 lbs in the boat 😂. It’ll go even shallower on a lighter load

You know me , I just camp out in the vicinity of good spots and toss a fluke or topwater or paddle tail. They can and do move a lot faster than we do. My chances of locating a roaming fish with my gas engine then catching them are about as good as the Browns winning the Super Bowl

The pucker factor is real

My buddy took a cool video as we were driving in very shallow water with my longtail rig the other day, thought yall might enjoy

That’s a huge hook for a shiner, unless it’s a golden shiner

Fished for 1.5 hours after work in the tiny kayak at the lakehouse and it was on fire, I lost count because I still had my work boots on and couldn’t count my toes…… All of them bit a green pumpkin zoom dead ringer, also lost 3-4. Every cast seemed like I was getting bit. Got LMB, SMB, and a spot

Turns out kids can indeed catch bass without their fancy box, some of us already knew

Trying to point out to the bear pokers that they were full of nonsense all along, and maybe encourage them not to bash young kids that work hard and win. Like fothergill in the classic………. this is a popular website, they read it

Fished all weekend with my college buddy from Memphis. It wasn’t the great catching results we have experienced in some past years but lots of fish and laughs still occurred. Friday afternoon/evening we hit some falling generation water and caught some nice fish. My recoil spring for the rip cord was acting iffy on my motor, somewhat nerve racking as we began by drift fishing about 4 miles downstream of the truck 😂. I figured out how to recoil it manually by sticking a pocket knife thru the grates and spinning it counterclockwise 2 inches at a time…….. The generation water then came back earlier than expected and rose the river level/speed. The amount of floating grass in the water drove us completely crazy so we quit a tad early and went to eat pizza Saturday morning we wasted a good bit of time trying to hook up electric start to avoid the recoil spring issue, that only resulted in my shooting sparks into my face in the auto zone parking lot with needle nose pliers and the starter 😂. We punted and decided to just deal with the workaround of manually re winding the spring. We still made it to the water by maybe 9:30-10 and fished til 8 pm so it’s not like we didn’t have time. We tried to keep good count and believe we caught 37-39 SMB and a nice channel catfish. The motor was running crazy shallow even with 3 of us big fellas weighing it down, the video demonstrates just how shallow Sunday we only had the morning to fish and tried a different river. We had pretty bad luck for the first 2-3 hours, saw a lot of debris in the water from hurricane Helene last year, including a sedan. With about 1.5 hours left to fish, my buddy decided he was going to throw a Zara spook for the rest of the trip. He caught 1-2 decent ones, then had a brute of a SMB clobber the plug and somehow come off. Looked to be pushing 4 lbs and football shaped. Then I got a decent one on a small water melon fluke. He hooked up another decent fish on the spook and a school of big SMB chased it to the boat including one trophy. Unfortunately I was unhooking a drum (of course) and couldn’t drop my lure in or hand him a second rod to drop something in.

Kind of hard to measure a fish without laying it on a measuring board…….. another scoper wins a no scope tourney, I wish that would finally put the argument to bed but I’m sure it won’t.

Beauties. We sure don’t overlook tubes! I buy them 30-40 at a time 😂
