Helluva ride. Thanks for the memories, Charlie. I saw him play on the 50 yard line in neyland stadium during several Tennessee vs Alabama football games

Wow . Nice work

@NYWayfarer, no whopper plopping today???

Way too many factors to know why. Humans are the same species but different shades

The full moon came up red last night Sorry had to post 2

Ambloplites rupestris

Probably a spoon but I would need a lot more than 1...

I prefer my fish mortality with fried potatoes ........

Well I think @Captain Phil wins

Amen!

For catfish jugs we put a cheap glow stick inside. Maybe there’s some kind of reflective or glow in the dark paint?

Most definitely. I just have better luck imitating the bluegills

I’m sure everyone will have to scale back a bit on account of the lockdown

I try to imitate bluegill during the mayfly hatch. Bluegill eat the bugs, bass eat the bluegill

Awesome!!!

It would get stuck where you like to throw

Ah. Well it smells like a football locker room, garbage, and rotten fruit all mixed together...........

I’ve been close to a few that I never saw but certainly smelled. It is a foul aroma

If you’ve got a stout rod, lock it down. If you use the same cheap rods I do, lock it down then back it off a touch. But seriously I would guess you can break that leader if you swing hard enough so I would either loosen it a tad or don’t set super hard (not Easy for excitable fishermen like me )

43,000 acres? I didn’t know it was that big. I’ve only been on a couple natural lakes in my life, that would be pretty fun!

I recently compared the two in my very specific fish book because I’ve been catching a lot of redbreast. The one characteristic of the redbreast that was helping me was the red fin tips but I don’t guess yours has that @NYWayfarer, I just looked up habitat range of each and you may be outside of longear range but lots of redbreast in your area ^source cited

We are the southern boundary of a lot of northern fish species habitat range.

Thrice? Ouch

I have vertical rod holderS on my center console and they are useless. All my buddies stick their rods in there as soon as they get in the boat (against my recommendation) then saw them in half with a sidearm cast. The first time I paddled my fiancé’s kayak I knocked one out of a holder with a paddle. I don’t like rod holders......
