I get it any time I hire a contractor at work too

I knew I hated ATL for dozens of reasons, but never in my wildest dreams did I think you wouldn’t find corn there. add this to the list!!! also, we never called it “sweet” corn growing up. I actually never heard that term until I started dating my midwestern wife as a 20 something.

Heard this one a few times before, I fully expect you to post fishing paddling pics with an eye patch on the day after surgery 😂

Not a kayak, but I’ve canoed whitewater for many years and it’s not if, it’s when. They even got us on one of the camera setups where they sell photos of the carnage online on the hiwassee once 😂. You can see my bill dance hat I’ve flipped in devils jump on the big south fork of the Cumberland at least 5-6 times, it can be tricky. Got the canoe wedged in there open end facing upstream once, that was a pain

Let’s do it If they went north any other time of year, there would be your dreaded weather delay…….. You know how they would do, catch the crap out of them

Stand on brother, stand on……

Impossible!!!

I’ve seen mokai out on the river, think they have a 9.9 hp jet. They can shoot up thru shoals. At 5 mph you way end up with a stalemate trying to go upstream

TN, was like $30 less for once 😂

They will be on the upper Mississippi in a couple weeks I think @MN Fisher

All the time. Cast net for shad and stone rollers, worms from the yard, corn from the garden, bread foraged from the grocery store, etc

For me, that would be early morning until about 2075…… good luck out there!!!

TN has always had one for people born after 1989, but Alabama now requires one for anyone of any age side note: I often “stand on” my vessel while catching tiny rock bass……….. seems like they could have come up with a better word or phrase

@gim, I think we discussed it before but Rowers have hit a rod I had leaning over the side of the boat. I just let them do it for a “teaching moment” 😂 the university row team is pretty angry but they won’t actually hit you. A small rowing club has taken over a smaller tributary portion of the reservoir and completely ruined it , it’s mostly clueless teenagers that will get in a formation that blocks off the entire river , making boating impossible for everyone else. That is, however, not their worst trait. They are unbelievably loud and giggly, it’s like trying to fish inside a high school @A-Jay, I had to recently take a course in order to legally boat in Alabama. I passed, yet still don’t know what in the Sam Hill it means to be a “stand on” vessel. It was in several of the questions. At least give way makes sense, what does stand on mean? That’s how I do it, if someone is coming right at me I just drive my arse right into a laydown tree on the bank 😂. Rules be damned , I just don’t want to get ran over and the bank is a good place to hide

Def looks like bait to me

I’ve heard smoked buffalo is good, but most other ways it’s rubbery. Never had it myself. I had some Asian carp once and it was robust, not in a good way. Drum was not good but not terrible. Gar is actually pretty good but it’s a strange texture, almost like fried clams. Had it grilled before as well and that was not the play. A catfish over 15 lbs is also robust but again, not in a good way. A striper or white bass without the bloodline removed can be pretty fishy, especially if it’s been frozen. Bowfin will ruin the frying pan you use to cook it……..

I haven’t caught many but they were all about 24” and mean

I fish lots of different waters

24” pike are a blast!!! Nice photos.

I know some freshwater fish that are robust in flavor, you wouldn’t like them 😂 as far as bluegill goes, the juice ain’t worth the squeeze for me. Burn more calories than you gain

Me and a buddy went out Wednesday evening and got skunked for 2-3 hours. Then I finally got 2 bites, a SM and LM that both fought hard. Ole reliable, zoom finesse worm on jighead

Absolutely, and you get to sleep on people’s couches and eat beans all winter 😂 I got out of the guide game a while back, thankfully. Now I can buy (some) stuff that I need, like food and a house

Boiled but microwave is surprisingly good

Me too brother, me too

You don’t need electronics to fish deep. One of my favorite tactics is just toss a tube up against a cliff and let it tumble down. Many places it’s 100 feet deep a short pitch from dry land . When the tube stops sinking, reel in your fish
