500 lb marlin - on a kayak!
If it was me, I would have used a bigger boat ! I latched into something huge in the salt in a kayak once that started taking me out. I tightened the drag and let it break me off on purpose. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to the ocean in a small boat. I caught a few sting Ray's and freaked out pretty bad

No worries I was also only trying to make a point. I don't think all serious problems are caused by humans, let's not flatter ourselves. I'm sure the million year old fish get a kick out of humans worrying about them , they were here before us and will be here when we are gone

Banning skin mounts
My buddy has his dead and gone grandpa's skin mount of a big walleye from Wisconsin hanging in his home bar. It's one of his most prized family heirlooms so I would say the answer to your question in some cases is yes

Any interest in trapping?
A few of today's catches Before anyone gets mad at me, it is highly illegal to relocate a skunk in TN. I have to play by the rules to keep my permits

Where do you start finding LMB on the St. John's River?
I read a lot of articles covering the bassmaster elite event there recently and both those areas were successful for the competitors

BPT Lake Eufaula
Not exactly sure where it's at but the weather hasn't changed between my house and Mississippi in several days. Mild temps and lots of rain. I can't believe this tournament is still going, glad I don't have to fish there haha

Banning skin mounts
Deep in the archives, there are pictures that make me look like a much crazier person. It was spring break my senior year of college, dragged My papaws Jon boat all the way to Texas with nothing but a trolling motor (Thread hijack alert). I owe Texas one bass

New to Striped Bass Fishing
I’ve never caught them in the ocean but I’ve caught some monsters and the biggest ones all hit top water. Bomber long a, cotton cordell Redfin, storm jointed thunderstick, poppers, and spooks. What’s the function of the leader? Those things are so fast I would want him on a single line with no knots

Most embarrassing moments
Been there done that! Fishing a marina full of houseboats and turns out there were two older ladies having coffee and cigarettes watching the sunrise sitting on the boat deck. I don’t remember what I said but it was certainly uncouth.

Banning skin mounts
They have plenty of resources and want you to think there's nothing they can do. They drive 650000 dollar pickup trucks all over town and rarely get out. They are paid well with good benefits and most enjoy their job because they don't have much to do and are well compensated. I personally know 7 of them in my state, went to college with them and still talk daily. They've got it made and want you to think they are underfunded. That way they don't have to put forth a lot of effort. But that helps in cases of poaching, they would rather have a concerned citizen find the criminal so they don't have to do all the work

Or how many die naturally ? People think they automatically live forever if you let them go. Fish are a renewable resource

500 Bass
My cousins used to be in the same line of work as you and used to bring a clicker he had been issued to count people on canoe floats. Every time we caught a fish he would click it to know how many we caught at the end of the day. As many fish as you catch, you will need a TI-83 to figure it up

KY fishers?
The big south fork of the Cumberland got up to 80,000 cfs the other day, I’m guessing the upper end of lake Cumberland is a muddy mess

Lead Ban
In the last few years the amount of loons in my area has increased significantly. No telling how much lead is in our rivers but it’s a lot! The loons might be bringing it up to squam from down here and croaking.......
