Sweetness was awesome. Jim brown was as well. Barry sanders.......... I’m an NFL films junkie, Steve Sabol was on my TV almost daily when I was little

Trick worm is always good in a swamp!

Got 6 species and dinner. Largemouth, shellcracker, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, and yellow bass

Maybe!!........

You da man! That’s a lot of jambalaya

Her breed is beyond undetermined but a vet mentioned maybe some blue heeler

this is why we call her backwards dog. She always comes up to you, turns her back to you, and cranes her neck to look backwards. (Proper name is mango)

Halibut is awesome!!!! I caught a few in Alaska and flew them home in the overhead storage compartment! No kidding

8 kids??????? You are a very patient man! Kudos to you. Also, that looks delicious and now I want some

Aka Tennessee credit card.

I never fill up any gas tanks, it’s a function of being lower middle class! Haha one of my buddies used to say “well what if I crash my truck? Then all that gas will just get towed away “ hahaha

Imagine all the sweaters and wool socks a Florida bass would have to wear on Norris lake

Another vote for the dew

Humbug

Down south we call it “just piiiiiiiiieeeee” Type of pie is unimportant, only volume of pie matters

Jerkbait has been very good to me over the last month. Husky jerk and rattlin rogue

People crack me up. “You can’t fish there, the water is too polluted to eat the fish.” It’s like the thought of catching fish for fun never crossed their mind

got two in the thirty minute lunch, one on first throw

The front deck of my boat is solid metal, I’m not sure if I could make it happen

Smoked fish is great leftover

You guessed it! Tougher than a crappie mouth but not by much. Their gyrations are unparalleled so they shake off a lot. I just started watching kayak catfish recently, fun to see others fishing on the same waters I fish

Everybody in Alabama throws spinnerbaits and plastic worms.

I’ve had that happen with several reels, maybe try flipping the washers back the other way. I’ve gotten them all to work normally it just takes some fiddling

I eat white bass the most because they have no length limit and 15 bag limit statewide. They are also EXTREMELY abundant and bite like sharks. Bluegill are great eating but they of course are smaller than most fish making more work for less meat. I catch more and more walleye ever year and of course they are great but still scarce in numbers down here compared to bass . Largemouth/smallmouth/spots are all delicious white meat, I would have to agree @Jig Manthat spots are the best. I like crappie but fiancé hates them, she says they are “mushy” catfish is good but I get tired of it sometimes. I’m not sure why? Also they recommend not to eat them out of the TN river biologists set the limits that way because old fish have already bred many times and they are going to die soon whether you eat them or not. Sometimes you can find a slot limit here and there but for the most part, minimum length limits allow for older fish to be harvested as opposed to young ones. On my home pool, a smallmouth has to be 18” to keep and most people release those because they are everybody’s favorite to fish catch. On a few tributaries they allow you to keep smallmouth under 13” because they are loaded with tiny fish. In the smoky mountains national park you can keep 5 trout over 7” because by the time they reach that size, odds are they won’t make it to the next year. Sometime I feel like keeping small fish would be better for the populations but it’s rarely legal
