Found another of the old ones , had a memorial and tossed it in the municipal garbage can

Should be fine

Friday evening I took my neighbors son fishing after work. I caught 5-6 species of fish with a 2 inch curly tail grub on a dart head (SMB, yellow perch, redear, redbreast, rock bass, and I can’t recall if I got a bluegill or not ). He was getting lots of bites but not connecting , I I finally set him up with a panther martin and he caught 3 redbreast and a bluegill really quick Saturday we fished some primo waters but it just wasn’t happening, I got a smallie and a spot and my buddy got a drum. My new propeller made an unbelievable difference though! It smoothed out the way the motor runs and went way faster and shallower than before, I’ve been a stick in the mud for a decade , should have tried a new prop a long time ago

I live in a subtropical rainforest, usually approaching 100% relative humidity. Cotton is king. Tried SPF sun hoodie on Sunday and could barely breathe

It’s absolutely wild how much better the engine runs with a fresh prop. I haven’t thrown water like that in a decade. Was going 13-14 mph upstream, used to go 10 mph with the dinged ones

The rest are in the graveyard I guess 😂 just getting broken in

got a 7.5” and two 8” for around $50 total for my mud motor. I was down to my last one and it’s chewed up significantly (no mud where I fish, only rocks 😂). I got 4 back in around 2013 and they lasted me til now , gotta have backup tho

When you are a fishing junkie like me, you’ll take a hit anytime you can

Did one of your machines crap the bed ??

Not a smallmouth, I’m not super familiar with Florida species but I’d guess Warmouth

Might could even fish (and whistle) with John Prine. Hopefully I can one day

RIP Ryno. I was always a big fan of his growing up and he even coached the Knoxville Smokies for a brief stint

This is the way

Me too! I can catch Bout 3 bass per 2 calendar years on it 😂

I’m so shocked the spinnerbait wasn’t your most productive bait…….. Seriously tho, pretty cool experiment, thanks for sharing your data

He’s a traveling guitar player, I think long hair is a requirement 😂

It was violent thunderstorms and downpours right when I got home from work at 5…… waited it out, folded some clothes, weedeated the back yard…… finally the lightning went away around 7:30. Me and Josh hit the river for the last two hours of daylight and he was rewarded with a nice 17.75 inch SMB a guy at work has been inviting me to kayak tournaments and gave me a measuring board, holy smokes is it hard to get a smallie to close its mouth. The first ten attempts looked like this and the fish went all over creation, the CPR business is hard on a fish 😂 finally got it measured after it flopped on every inch of my boat, can’t imagine that in a kayak And we got a couple blue mcgillis

Cotton is still my favorite hot weather clothing. Wetter is cooler 100% of the time

Love watching St Claire. Saw somebody battle a musky for like 15 minutes only to lose their crankbait last time they went

@WaskaCrank12, you could travel here and catch plenty of 20” SMB…… but they will be 3.5 lbs

I’ve caught smallies busting shad on top over 100 feet of water ripping a tube on the surface

@HawkeyeSmallie, here is her tattoo And some of her captures she’s probably got a little Voodoo doll of me somewhere……

@HawkeyeSmallie, fish don’t bother her a bit, she even likes snakes. She’s got a big snake tattooed on her leg

When they peek their head around a tree, that’s the perfect time to……. Nevermind

Unfortunately I was at work 😂
