I’ve heard from several sources there was evidence that it was weighed. The evidence was 22 lbs 4 oz. There is even further evidence on what scale was used . Heck I’ve never seen a picture of Abe Lincoln next to a tape measure but I think he was 6’4”

The Diamond Vols are headed back to the college World Series!!! This will be our first trip to Omaha since 2005, lots of folks should be in the stands wearing orange. One thing that makes it even sweeter.......... if any of y’all follow SEC sports, you may have noticed that Tennessee has had a constant thorn in its side in all sports since around 2001: none other than @Sam’s alma matter LSU. In all sports, it seems they rain on our parade every single time for a long time. Well of course the obstacle standing in our way at the super regionals is none other than the bayou bengals, with a legendary coach set to retire at the end of the season. We had already swept them in Knoxville earlier this season (they thought our fans were too rowdy that series at 20% covid capacity, I’ll take that compliment) but history seems to indicate they would be able to rain on our parade yet again. Well last night we squeaked out a nice 4-2 victory and today our bats came alive with home runs flying out of the park in all directions. It sure feels good to pull a thorn out of our collective side that’s been stuck in there for a couple decades!!!

When we were 16, we caught a smallie that we were certain was 6 lbs so we put it in a 5 gallon bucket and raced to our favorite gas station deli that we ate at all the time. The ladies weighed our fish, it was 4.01 lbs haha. So instead of mounting our 6 lb smallmouth, we released it into a golf course pond. #thjngspeoplewouldprosecutenowadays Well obviously you haven’t taken a ride in my new time machine yet.......

I got a fever and the only cure is more fishing

If I go into bass pro, I get zoom dead ringers and a white bucktail for making jigs no matter what. Some things you can’t have enough of (Also they always have those two things while some other stores don’t)

Bout 5 days, I accidentally left mine turned on in the carport once ha ha

Mine has done that for over a decade. I have thought about moving the winch and rubber stop thing (u bolts) forward but it has never caused trouble so I just ride like it is. I also have to push my boat off the trailer at a few ramps so I kind of like it I believe the ideal position would be forward a few inches or maybe a foot

My buddy and his wife have one, they love it. I rode in it to and from Kentucky during the winter (6 inches of snow) and will be in it again this weekend on the way to the mountains. It definitely has all the bells and whistles. It handled I 75 with ease, seems to be a peppy engine with good power. I’m guessing this was a four-wheel-drive model (maybe AWD) because we had no problems with traction in snow although Kentucky scrapes the roads a lot better than Tennessee

I’ve tried biting at them Many times, can’t get em ........

I have old school graphs so on windy days I can only see if for a second or two before it exits the cone angle. . On calm days I just drop it right next to the trolling motor and can see it easily . You don’t have to be able to see the bait on the screen to catch the bass. Just keep the Sinker on the bottom most of the time or count it down (or back up) for suspended fish

Got a couple decent ones this evening and of course was fooled by mister gaspergou

it’s funny, you hear people all the time say they fished a weekday and there’s still bass boats everywhere, leading them to always make the comment “doesn’t anybody work anymore?” I always reply “well you clearly weren’t at work either” hahana

The problem is every person in the eastern US idles over all the ledges in chickamauga several times a day

In the words of axel rose , “you know where you are ??? You’re in the jungle, baby!!”

Ditto

Shoot I hear that way before I even make it to the Powell side.......

Haha! I’m allergic to bee stings and always “have” to carry an epipen, though I’ve never used it. One time I was digging out a groundhog hole to set a trap and dug into some yellow jackets. Two of them got me on the fingers, not even close to serious enough for the pen but my hand was getting quite huge. I pulled over and got some Benadryl then started driving to my next job. I think I fell asleep 10 times in 25 miles! People around here get Lyme disease a lot yet doctors refuse to admit it exists in this region. I’ve had a bullseye form around a tick bite before, I’ve probably had it dormant for years thanks for the advice, I think you are way ahead of doctors on that topic

Gnats are also immune to chemical spray! We only have no seeums high into the smokies thank god

I’ve heard my entire life not to do this as it’s an urban legend . I’ll try if I can find any in her collection....... I fish several places like that! Two days of canoe floating and I swear a horse fly circles your head from start to finish no matter what chemical warfare is waged. Every half hour or so they bite the crap out of you just to remind you they are there

They are trying! Let them help you. A 19” smallie should fit in any landing net on the market. That’s a small fish for where @J Franchois landing them in his net

Maybe I misinterpreted KO haha

I need to quit reading this thread ......... just go fishing and see if ya like it! If no give to someone else and try another. I prefer kayak fishing without a net. If I devoted this much brain power to selecting a net I would never make it out the front door to go fishing

Yes, my fiancé is a bug spray fanatic haha. We have many bottles of all kinds , cutter is good stuff for the backyard mosquitos!

That works for the skeeters but the ticks seem to drink it for nourishment

Can you make my scale say 6+ 3 times also???? I think my model is stuck on 4 lbs for some mysterious reason......
