Wondering why a dog barks is a slippery slope mike hahah. I have to tell our customers everyday to quit pondering why animals do things. “Why did the squirrel chew into my house and not my neighbors??? They don’t even cut their grass correctly!” My reply is usually something like “Ma’am, I’ve captured the squirrel. I’m going to take it downtown for some questioning and we will get back to you with some answers.”

I’ve tried this for Carp my whole life and I think I’d rather just get kicked in the groin

Absolutely not, I’m closer to type z. I do take pictures of the fish though, and that has a date stamp so I know what I caught and when anyway. I also have a crazy ability to remember most everything in the past, that’s a blessing and a curse also most of my trips are archived on bass resource, so there’s that

Not for me…….. although I do have to risk life and limb but they love stepping on traps

I’m about sick of flying squirrels!!! Having to climb onto to the tops of mansions with steep roofs all day every day. I want to go back to skunks haha

The river is flowing very slowly right now , it spreads the fish out. I don’t use the TRD because everyone else does , they probably forgot about the speed craw and chomped it haha. Raging water with flood gates and murky conditions seems to put them in predictable spots. Right now the water is slow and clear so they can just be anywhere. Granted that’s how I like it, I’m a 6 lb test kind of fisherman most of the time

I think you can break that soon! Especially if you make it upstream a dam or two

You stay on the bigs regularly!

Off the top of my head, I would say something like the two places I marked red . Then again that’s dead center at the mouth of each cut, he might be referring to the center of it cut halfway back into it

I love sharing the fishing experience with other humans, I’m part of the “problem” let me guess, you are one of those people that lives in a house, yet gets mad when someone builds one and moves in

Love the no skunk one

Solid black is a really good worm!

Except for of course Uncle Sam

Yes sir, we have been boating lots of those this December

Is this a lead acid battery ?? There are some tricks to reviving such a battery. The first to try is what the charger said, check connection. A little corrosion or a nick in a cable somewhere can foul it. The next is to try is what @Chris Catignani said, a defibrillation if you will. Take it out of the boat, make sure there’s water in each cell, then charge it with a high amperage. I’ve got one of those battery chargers on wheels that can go up to 220 amps or something like that. If you don’t have that kind of charger, use jumper cables and jump it with your truck. Or take into a parts store and let them check/test/charge. On a battery that lost its charge but is still good, this usually works. If still dead, this sounds crazy and I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen it. My buddies had a boat that wouldn’t start, we checked the battery and it was 2015 and deep cycle, not cranking and wouldn’t take a charge. I had brought an extra starting battery on the trip because mine is 2016, still works but it was camping in middle of nowhere so I brought an extra. They bought that new battery off me and just set the 2015 deep cycle aside. On a long camping trip with a lot of weather too hot to fish, a lot of us were sitting around in the shade just looking at that battery. We all tried charging it with different chargers, wouldn’t do much. One guy says “you know, sometimes those lead plates get corrosion in between them. You can slam it onto the ground, break it loose, then boil as hot as you can with a charger and she will fire up and at least get you to auto zone……..” Well here we are, too hot to fish, let’s try it. Wouldn’t ya know that battery is still working to this day after we did that. They let me take it home since I sold them my crank battery and I let another friend have it, he still runs his 12v trolling motor with it haha

The coonskin cap is still quite popular in east TN haha

Well the bass bite was slow but I caught a monster drum then a walleye for dinner
