You can catch them in creeks with fly rod or light tackle, it’s pretty fun. They bite repeatedly until you hook them There are a whole lot of variables that determine how large fish can grow, the bait on the end of a human being’s single rod and reel is not one of them

Cup holders! We used to fish out of a pontoon when I was little, it worked great when the motor started haha. Seriously though, they are are great platforms

Believe it or not, I think the best ones for keeping an unconscious persons head above water are the orange ones that go around your neck. Not the most comfy but I’ve rocked them before, makes a great conversation piece haha . Most inflatables are a similar shape

My niece didn’t want to fish any today but she liked releasing them

All the ramps I drove by while working today looked like grand central station

Hope you get to feeling better, congrats on retirement

I think you’ll love jig fishing once you catch a few. They are excellent in grass , don’t be afraid to reel them in like a crankbait through it either. I’ve used all kinds of things for trailers, the back half of plastic worms and lizards can be good trailers

That dog will hunt!

Wouldn’t that be nice!

Maybe they couldn’t find you on account of all the paper wrapped around the car

Oh I’m going to catch a fish with it! I’ll keep throwing it, im not smart enough to quit

Yeah but those old commercials with the car wrapped in paper were the best. “We’ll pick you up!”

Sorry to hear about your aunt, sounds like she had a good long run! I’ve personally never rented a car but I did stink up a rental my mom rented in FLA keys with shrimp bait and they slapped on an extra $75 charge. I tore the car apart before we returned it looking for the source of stink, it was real bad. I couldn’t find it, and I have to do stuff like that at work all the time. The extra charge was justified in my opinion haha

Not my photo but I have always done better hooking them like this

No chunk trailers??

If you cut the hook, you still got a hook stuck in ya……… still doesn’t seem like a totally necessary boat item for me (although I always have tools to cut through hooks, done it many times to make a mcgyver trolling motor shear pin)

Nice! Do you always use the keel weight hook on fluke?

Everything is damp in the jungle I live in, even if it hasn’t rained in a week

I think the OP is in California

She got any sisters?

I can see the ground!!!!

Wooooo!!!!

Following smallmouth are best ignored in my waters. They seem catchable everywhere else on Tv/YouTube/tournaments but I’ve never seen anyone successfully catch one on TN river. And there is almost always a follower to a hooked fish, they just don’t bite

I’m also 0 for lifetime on whopper plopper
