The current and wind makes it impossible for bass to read, it blurs the text

I go upstream or up wind

I mean, I like eating catfish but I think I like eating shrimp more

My neighbors have a sign in their front yard that sums it up pretty well. It reads “BACK THE BLUE”

Do you need my address to send all your top waters and such????? You know.... for ..... proper disposal

I’m tellin ya that stuff is strong hahaha

Maybe one day I will experience this. Maybe...........

Shoot I’d start a fire and grill that before I’d give it to a catfish

Those trout you catch are massive

If my line was breaking, I would change the line. How is that not an option on the poll? Haha. That rig sounds a little complicated to me, I like good ole “fishin string” (monofilament). It rarely breaks and I use 6# most of the time. When it does break its because I forgot to re tie after a week or two. You want to know the most ironic thing about this whole scenario? Flourocarbon breaks WAY more often than mono....... and costs way more than mono. Such is the fishing industry.......... kind of reminds me of when my mom got a brand new car with all these bells and whistles for “safety” purposes. Well all the bells and whistles went haywire and made the car literally stop working and they gave her the money back haha

I’ve caught a lot of smallies but I can’t recall ever catching one off a bed

You asked! Haha In the words of the big Lebowski, “that’s like......... your opinion....... man........”

Abu garcia cardinal spinning reel and eagle claw monofilament . I swear I can stop my boat in the rapids by hanging a rock with 6 lb test rapala husky jerk, suspends perfectly and catches bass

Congrats!! 30 mph is plenty

You can’t tell a 15 year old nothin!!! They already know it all (i was there once) sweet boat!

What say me? Me say spinnerbait is stoopid

You’ll get out from under that desk one day

Catch and release is what makes the fish hard to catch, sounds backwards but it’s true. Every tournament competitor could legally eat 5 bass and most fisheries could support it. Which is why the limit is usually 5 (it’s 10 in most of Alabama ) then there’s the ethical dilemma of “do I quit fishing once I’ve got my limit,” a whole other ball of wax. If we as bass fishermen weren’t relentlessly determined to sore lip every single bass in America, they would be far easier to catch

Looks pretty fat to me! Nice one . I bet it pulled the boat around

Nice outing @PhishLI. Here’s an amateur tip (not pro tip because we are in the leaky Jon boat club) : JB weld is 100 times cheaper and 1,000 times more effective than anything with the name FLEX in it. Buy the one that looks like a roll of coins. I used about 1/10th of a $5 tube of it on my 1957 boat about 15 years ago and it still hasn’t leaked a drop

Got a nice 20” fish, saw @Jerminationout there and he gave me a top secret lure that caught the bass

Congrats!!!!

20 lb braid is way too thin for slinging spinnerbaits

bass taste great but everyone will tell you they don’t, hoping to discourage you from killing them

Not quite but I do like that cheap little thing, going strong 3 seasons in for like $70. I had to cut the grass at the lake house, which is on a cliff too steep for a mower. I always parlay that into 7 hours of fishing and 30 minutes of weed eating
