The Alabama bass were supposed to kill all other bass and all first born children here, I rarely catch any alabamas .

Seems as tho the late great Catt said “blackened means burnt” 😂

An unplanned evening trip turned productive! I’ve never caught this many sauger in this short amount of time , maybe it’s a good sign for the population, but then again im thrilled to reduce their population 😂 . Got one about 19” and another 16.5 “. Then I got a bonus 12.5” yellow perch, does that qualify as jumbo ?

Great trip @Swamp Girl! You know me, I like to see the smallie mixed in

@GreenPig, I think you could hit 150 mph with that on your 14’ 😂

I fish right near my house no matter what time of year it is

I can’t fish with well with gloves on so I just don’t go if it’s cold enough to freeze the guides . If it’s 28-29 degrees I can still fish, just take breaks and put my hands in my pockets. I have had decent luck with fingerless gloves that have mittens that fold over but still makes it tricky to feel the “tick” of a bite

I heard that the guy always calling livescope a cheater box got DQ’d for cheating…….

Hey watch it mister, I resemble that remark 😂

Went paddling after work, the fish were surely hungry. Caught 3 small LM right next to the car on the exact same spot where a log was sticking up out off the bank a ways in deeper water. A small diving duck was witness to those catches The mountains were really showing off, it was clear enough to see each little drain on the mountain sides once I made it out into the current , the smallies were chomping a finesse worm. The river channel makes an S turn and it’s 50+ feet deep and faster than the surrounding areas, perfect for SMB. Ended up with 7 fish in probably 1.5 hours, that’s a good bite for ‘round here (no sign of the invasive Alabama bass that were supposedly going to kill everything)

Nice work good sir. I actually did some push ups and paddled 4 miles yesterday, I typically get enough exercise at work and outside after work in summer but days are getting shorter and I get bored in the dark haha. Grass is getting crispy and pushing a 20” lawnmower is my normal workout

That’s weird, our fish have all of a sudden started biting very well. Granted, no natural lakes here, so maybe just a different ballgame but you still won!

Seems like somewhere in Michigan got snow on sept 5 this year, broke some record

I’ve never been to soho

My local watering hole was having their 10th anniversary today. The paddling outfitter I used to work for was offering a shuttle where they dropped us off about 4 miles upstream of the bar and you could paddle down. We were paddling way too fast for fishing but I did manage one tiny SMB downtown , missed a few more . They had live music at the takeout, one of my fishing buddies was playing bass

The scenery is amazing, it fishes better when it’s very cold and the guides are freezing

Put some tile in there 😂
