I would look for...... water!

I wish I could do that, it grows all over my yard and I can’t just let it get bigger and bigger. We have a symbiosis going on the last decade or so. I always have it but it has yet to kill me . When I was younger it almost got me a time or two

My cousin burned a bunch of vines and he ended up in the ER also from breathing the smoke

Me thinks the lucky winner was a snapping turtle . I've pulled in my stringer many times and had only heads. Humans are the only creatures that feel sorry about it, animals just eat whatever they can

I just run into a big patch of it with the weed eater throttle WFO and let out a primal war cry!!! My legs itch.......

Good to hear! Get well soon

@Dirtyeggroll, both! A pre spawn glutton. Nice catch

1. Small tube 2. small tube 3. Finesse worm

Those are far more dangerous !!!

Congrats!

Congrats!!

A day that shall never be forgotten! We were fishing a river with roaring current about 4-5 mph, 12,000 cubic feet/second. So the main channel seemed fairly hopeless unless there was some kind of current break. We decided to make our first stop a creek mouth with a little warmer water. I started off by losing what I believe to be a nice smallmouth. Then we catch a few drum And white bass with tube jigs. I try a shakey head and I saw a skipjack herring chase after it as I was reeling it in. I tell Rachel skipjack and we both start reeling in the tubes as fast as possible and she hooks one. It was hooked in the gills so I put it on a 6/0 stainless and hurl it out there. A striper takes off with the dead bait twice and I missed it twice. Lucky for me a smallmouth threw me a bone and got himself hooked right in the roof of the mouth with my tube, I never even felt a hit but it was hooked very well. The fish only went 4 on my scale but it sure seemed bigger. After releasing that fish, the dead bait goes off like a rocket. Since I failed the first two times i asked Rachel if she wanted to try it. The fish Took the bait from the somewhat calm water out into the torrent and line was just melting off the baitcaster. Worried she would run out I put the minn Kota on 100 and took of after it. Quite some time and distance later, she gets the fish to the net and it’s 36 lbs and 45 inches! She beat my 4 lber by just a tad.... just added a video too, warning loud screams hAha

Congrats

They have a sweet tooth, that’s for sure. I’ve only had a couple raccoons that were hard to catch, most are a sucker for any food. You can typically put an empty bag of potato chips in the back of the traps and catch raccoons, then save the marshmallows for smores haha

Our government says we can still fish hike at all that stuff after they issued a stay at home order. ?

Big females hitting hard

Run away. Run as fast as you can
