I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole once of micro fishing in Japan, they take it to an entirely different extreme. Bass resource may have even been how I slipped into this rabbit hole, I can’t remember

At least he has a head start on what is tolerable if the grocery stores ever close haha

Well this thread is an excellent read……….. my 3 biggest LM were all on different lures so I can’t add much but they were all somewhere about 8lbs, one maybe a tad bigger. #1 hit a buzzbait in water willow, that was not a light bite, more of a terrifying explosion like an M80 hit the water (south Alabama). #2 Hit a chartreuse pepper zoom worm in water willow. Unfortunately I don’t remember it biting but I’m guessing that means he didn’t smash it or I would remember. (Southeastern texas) #3 hit a silver buddy on December 27 (E Tn). I’m guessing it hit on the fall but I felt it when I went to jig the bait. I don’t think it counts as the strike but as soon as the hooks connected, almost instantly that fish very nearly pulled me off the front deck of the boat on a hellacious run. I had just picked up my buddies rod and casted, never used it before , no clue what action. The fish pulled so hard the rod slammed the gunnel and I didn’t know what to do so I pushed the thumb bar (my first ever experience free spooling, maybe that’s why I like it so much). Some critters are just ornery, and we haven’t even talked smallmouth yet……..

I’ll just take your word for it……….. those things smell horrible. After riding around in a vehicle with them for about 15 years I don’t think there’s enough money in the world to convince me to eat one

Don’t they have aluminum in Wisconsin????

I don’t know if you’re from Alabama or just moved there, but that jar on the left tells me you’re fitting in nicely either way. That was legal currency down there not many years ago!!

I only watch when I’m at moms house because she loves it. Ive never really enjoyed the olympics, we watched some people kayak down an artificial river earlier……….. what in the heck

Yes. The favorites for the gold medal have the most comfortable camping chairs

We camped at cades cove in early June and got to see the synchronized fireflies

An otter will eat anything it can get into its mouth (well maybe not an Apple …….. but then again maybe an Apple if there’s an Apple tree on the river bank haha). They are quite a vicious carnivore now a sea otter, I have no clue. I imagine they are similar to river otters but just eat more and bigger prey items

That’s for country western concerts, not fishin !!

The north country isn’t too far from here, i believe parts of Canada can be reached in 8-9 hours.

If you make it to Knoxville I can drive the rest of the way! I'll even allow gator hats once we get north of the border.......

I’ve only heard stories, you’ve actually done it!!!

Hahhahhahahahaha

We had pretty good success with aggressive biting smallies yesterday. Of course I got like 5-6 drum……….. but one was 28” so that was fun. We covered a lot of water and used under a gallon of gas in the ole river rocket

From what I’ve been told, it’s alright if you cook it on a flame. Don’t make stew out of them, too greasy

Seems like he was here a decade……. It does seems like the end of an era. Obviously I’ll still watch but will miss the traditional matchups

Playing a sub par QB for 4 years was certainly a deterrent

I’ve bought bulk and it spilled too . In fact it spilled on a spool of 12 lb big game that I’ve been using for about 6-8 years, boy does that line slide through the guides nicely I’ve yet to find a bottle that doesn’t explode in the heat

Those rods have been selling for $30 even in stores down here for years (trust me that’s the top end of my price range for a rod haha)

Been there, now a 4 way lives under the seat

Striped variety in the ocean methinks

Necking??? That’s what grandma called making out

Not in a decade plus, hopefully that starts later this summer. This is the first time in a while that the coach doesn’t seem like a total idiot, so there’s that
