That may be the funniest thing ever

If the fish aren’t biting, I just keep waiting......

Ha! Now that’s a good story. And nice smallmouth

No jerk baits?

Seems like a good idea to me! I hate losing baits even if they are 50 cents and literally never use expensive lures

I absolutely looooovvvvveeeeee a 40 degree overcast day on Norris. Mainly because of the smallmouth cooperation

Wait, I thought @Sam was our resident meteorologist

In Knoxville the party boats go to the football game. Ocean sized ones

I like winter better but fall is good

If you want it flat black, I would just paint one myself

Haha. If it’s still pumping water , it’s still a functioning water pump. So far the OP still hasn’t stated that he runs it dry. He could use muffs, garbage can of water, or just pop the key to see if the battery is hot

Where you live, people still walk to the schoolhouse uphill both ways in the snow and carry a satchel of books haha

I can! I’ve got unlimited supply of that haha. I fished 14 hours the other day and I think we got 5 bass between the two of us. I didn’t want to go home when it got dark

Never had power windows, hopefully never will. Some of my friend bust out laughing when they see me roll my window down

You’re a better man than I! I don’t even like thinking about school since I finished in ‘07. The only time I come near anything school related is when the skunks and groundhogs get under the portables haha.

I go fishing more often and for longer than most. I figure the rest will take care of itself. “Time on the water”

I’ve done that 6-8 times

Nice rig!

The tail waters I fish go up and down everyday and are littered with floating logs. I’ve hit plenty and had some L/Us stuck on pretty hard that needed “persuading”

i think @Jermination had a similar issue and he solved it by recalibrating. Or at least I thought that’s what he said, my computer triangulation days are long gone haha

I’ve accidentally started mine several times with the foot up out of the water. I’m not recommending it, but I’ve done it. I fish shallow rivers and need the foot up while fishing. I busted a whole gear case while floating down river casting one time because the motor was about halfway down. Just make sure your boat is peeing every single time before you hammer down

I’ve caught several bass with @Bluebasser86 bladed jig with no trailer. Do the pike hook up on the bait or just bite the trailer off? I’ve only caught one pike but it was fun and had surprisingly tasty meat for a slimy stinky fish. I will be up north in early fall next year and I wouldn’t mind tangling with some of them, never thought to throw chatter bait for pike

Sounds a lot like me.........

I love it when the big ones clear the water like that

Fire on board 30 miles into the ocean? Holy cow that’s scary
