Grab the lower unit with your hand and torque around and wiggle it. If you see the transom flex don’t buy it or buy it with massive discount. There is no work like replacing a transom The whole world is made of wood, it’s how white men crossed the Atlantic!

Well I caught two skunks today....... luckily I’m already engaged

Was there a road involved?

Like, mud? Under a rock? In a rice patty?

Good deal!!

If funny because the radio apparently had to start calling it “freezing fog” to keep things fresh. However it’s snow, on the ground and falling from the sky haha. I think they are also trying to cover their butt for not predicting any snow

The length from the middle of my chest to my finger tips is what determines mine.

More snow today

Took my tiny Jon boat all the way to lake fork for spring break senior year of college with nothing but a trolling motor. Camped for a few days then hit a lake down around college station. Little did we know that both the spares tires we had wouldn’t fit on the 1957 boat trailer, luckily I didn’t find that out until years later and the drive went smoothly (something like 18 hours back to Knoxville from college station )

Gotcha, thanks buddy!

Ditto

If you don’t mind my asking, Which part of tourney fishing is it that you don’t like? Or why don’t you fish more of them? Seems like you would win a bunch of them

Classic!

Sushi is great when you have too much money in your pockets . It’ll drain them quick and you’ll still be hungry , ready to spend more!

I fish out of my papaw’s 1957 Cherokee . My mom used to “wake surf” behind it on a sheet of plywood when she was little

USC was the best team ever too....... then Texas beat them in the rose bowl and they weren’t even champs

If I thought it would make a difference, I still wouldn’t ! Haha. I’m fishing for fun not baking a cake

Yep

Old timers around here call 4 lb test smallmouth fishing “Bar (bear) huntin’ with a switch.” Doesn’t seem like enough weapon but it sure works sometimes. I think they got the idea from watching crappie fisherman catch big smallmouth (and be mad about it) disclaimer: I do not recommend hunting bears with a switch

I’m still using all mono except the frog, mostly eagle claw brand. I swear I think it was like $3 for 1500 yds , I bought it a long time ago and don’t know if I’ll ever use it all haha. The stuff is strong, I can usually pull my boat over to the snag when I get stuck with 6 lb on spinning rod. I still use 20 lb mono for top water sometimes, it helps when battling 20”+ smallmouth. I use 12 lb mono for most of my baitcasters, it works for just about everything (Texas rig, jerkbait, topwater, rattle trap, etc)

Sound advice. I’ve heard of several boats running aground already this winter

Amen brother . My two favorite times to fish are when it’s raining and when it’s not raining......

I don’t allow weather to determine my comfort level. I’ve got sunscreen just like I’ve got thermals everyone’s favorite season is the one with the most big bass

It’s my fav! Smallmouth love it
