Feb is a good fishing month in TN. It will be chilly most days but nothing compared to Minnesota

Well, I can’t remember haha

Well I guess they should have caught there own 5.62 lb walleye then! Congrats on that stovepipe

I got skunked Sunday evening and Thursday evening last week. Luckily got one smallie Saturday morning and lost a big one from my hand Or it would have been 3 in a row. Happens to everyone, skunks actually make me much more determined to fish (if that’s even possible)

All I use is a #1 hook and a bullet sinker. Tie the hook on via Palomar knot and leave a long tag end. Tie the bullet weight onto the tag end and viola, drop shot. Never understood using “special sinker” for it when I already have a boat load of sinkers that sink just fine

Yep! And I like eating alligators in Florida also. The pond fishing is second to none in that state. I’ve fished around gators a whole bunch, yet to be eaten. It helps when you aren’t walking a toy dog on a leash near the waters edge

I live in Knoxville, People surprisingly still make all that stuff! you just have to end up sitting around the right campfire with the right old timers. You won’t find them for sale on their webpage! Hahaha

I paddled a perception outlaw the other day and it was a bear. I was paddling twice as hard as my fiancé and she was leaving me in the dust. It felt like I could do a cartwheel on it though, I stood up through some rough waves and rapids

I’ve seen smallmouth brought up from 50’ with a 1/5 mushroom head and TRD. But the lead was too heavy to be a “ned rig” so it didn’t count I guess

Rat L traps on the bottom right, gold cotton cordell redfin bottom middle. The popper looks like storm chug bug

I also don’t believe 80% of their diet is crawdads. People can claim anything they want, I wouldn’t get hung up on that piece of info.

I anchored today, a lot of my Waters are very fast . Caught a smallie with a drop shot while anchored

Slacker........ my numbers are way lower than anyone who keeps track if I had to imagine. I usually fish after work and 5-6 fish is a good day.

I keep a file in the boat. Needless to say it’s completely rusted but it does the job .

Those Alabama spots are mean enough to eat the bag the senkos come in. I’ve never fished Martin but I get them good with junebug and chartreuse stick baits in the muddy Alabama river . If your water is clear I might try a green pumpkin

Awesome, congrats!

Did you get that 10.2 in VA?

That’s just a bunch of barges at an industrial park

Grab white bass like this and they freeze, I mean they will not move a muscle and you can catch 75-100 with minimal hand damage. I survive on white bass fillets all winter and spring

We are forecasted to have a medium drizzle with a maybe breeze

It's not!

Well that begs the question, how do you catch 1000 bass without accidentally becoming very accurate at casting? I think you're sandbagging ........

I would have puked! I can’t even watch surgery on tv happy early birthday @OnthePotomac! Here’s to many more, hope all goes well
