At home it’s 72. Where I’m at in Ohio it’s dumping snow. I think I need to hit the transfer portal

Don’t be afraid to slap those trick worms/senkos that you mentioned on your drop shot either. Just because you don’t think they are drop shot baits doesn’t mean the fish feel the same way. A big creature bait on a drop shot can be pretty awesome at times in the TN river when the current is swift

Good to hear from ya! I’ve ridden in a few Norris craft with 150 Johnson fast strike, it was crazy fast. One of them was a fish n ski that was heavy as can be and would still go at least 65. Those Johnson 150 motors might as well be in racecars! They flat go. They also drink gas about as fast as anything I’ve ever seen. With the amount of fuel that runs though those motors, I bet they are as clean as can be inside.

What weight rod are you chucking jig heads with? I’ve tried before and got smacked with a jig head haha. I’ve also casted weightless finesse worms on 5 weight and they basically came through my armpit on the forward cast haha

I’d be interested, especially on a weekend

The Tennessee river near my house fluctuates anywhere from 2 feet to 5 feet every single day. The only exception is when they are filling up Douglas and Cherokee lakes 30-40 feet in spring time and they hold back most of the water. Of course spring can be rainy and still fluctuate the river quite a bit regardless of dam flows Thank you sir

I sparred with a former gold glove boxer once. He hit me and it hurt………. Hahaha my “rassling” days are way behind me but I’m down for the fishing part! i do have a friend or two into jujitsu, they live up toward the northeast corner of TN

Thanks a bunch for those details!!! I noticed a nice change in energy and weight when I switched to eating eggs instead of sandwiches but the amount of cholesterol in eggs scares me a little. No good reason, just the nutrition facts label that has 2 of them accounting for over 100% of the daily value. Also if you only eat the white part, what do you do with the yellow? there are 3 parts of your equation that I will struggle with if I attempt to emulate, although it sounds like from your description that years of trial and error are the best way to figure it all out. 1: Tupperware! I have a special disdain for that stuff. Sure is a lot easier to wash a plate or a bowl than those stupid things. Then there’s finding the right lid, ARG!!!!! 2: meal prep. I’ve never even dreamed of doing this, I really can’t even imagine. My meal prep is sitting down and loosening my belt haha 3: weight training. I got nothing there, never even tried any of it

Been doing that for years haha. Actually the last home and home series we had with OK, a lot of buddies of mine met a whole bunch of cool folks from Norman. They were all very impressed with the Saturday atmosphere in Knoxville and the feeling was mutual when a bunch of my buddies went out to Norman for the game. Football towns to say the least!! The problem with that series was, of course, butch jones. Especially in that overtime game in Knoxville when he opted for a field goal on 4th and inches from the goal line. That’s the game when baker Mayfield was introduced to the world. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why we couldn’t get a hold of that guy, turns out he was pretty slick in college

I’m guessing the road side ditches are full of brown water there too?

Hahahaha. What gave it away, trapping rats for a living??? now wait a minute, sci-fi rat trapping……… we might be onto a new box office hit here

I have had calamari, but I didn’t have to cut it up first haha. Tastes great as long as I don’t have to see it raw ive used squid for bait though

Just when I didn’t think you could get any crazier………… I have seen people fish for them on TV with some kind of glow in the dark plugs about a million feet under the ocean in the middle of the night. If that’s not scary enough for you, then they ate the slimy things!!!! ?

Just wear a buff to cover up your scary face haha

Awwww come on now. I though you wuz better than that!!!!

I’ve checked lake and river levels my entire adult life, it can be addicting. I even look at TN river levels 500 miles downstream of my house, just to see how crazy the dams are flowing. One thing I’ve never heard though is Rumsey glad y’all are getting some needed moisture Michigan is amazing, always raining but the water is always clear and at the same level. Mind boggling

Broken tip is fairly easy fix, most stores have a tip repair kit. My buddy says super glue works better than the melty glue that comes in the kit. Putting on a new guide should be as easy as thread and epoxy, the tricky part for me is not having a roller or anything to let the epoxy dry evenly. Also, being from TN, I’ve fished many rods that were missing a guide or two (while chewing on a piece of hay and wearing overalls barefooted )

Heck of a year! Nice work. I’ve never had trouble sleeping, I’ve been accused of being a professional between the hours of 7 and 10 pm with the tv and all the lights on. The diet part does confuse me greatly, I’ve always just eaten whatever I can get a hold of and what’s cheapest (lots of fish). It seems like chicken/rice or steak/broccoli are the preferred methods of people with experience. I think I’ve read where you eat a whole lot of chicken also. Is that the main ingredient for most everything? I may need to just start buying a whole lot of yard bird, it’s reasonably priced and always there.

You broke an ugly stick? Did your wife put it in the trash compactor like the commercial ??

I’m sitting in Henry county right now, looks like I could cast a shallow diver into the corn fields

Just cruising though this thread, I don’t think anyone lost money just had to get new cards. Then you have to add the new card info to all the bills you pay automatically with your card (I always do one time payments for such reasons). Also it sounds like members that used PayPal didn’t have to deal with it. I’ve never had a PayPal acct, I think my brothers got hacked once but that was a long time ago. I would imagine that right now, after the hack, is the safest time ever to buy haha. what’s crazy is that all companies targeted had the word “warehouse” in the name. What will the basement crew think of next?

“Whats a PB? Hand me one of those beers, would ya?” -king fisher’s wife

It’s crazy. That same place is a gas station, grocery store, and hardware store. Used to even have live stock feed

The real scammer is probably in pajamas in a basement somewhere

This top pic was almost all jerkbaits, I had to run away
