Haha. It’s a lot better than it used to be

Awesome! Bibs is one piece of gear I can’t believe I went so long without (my pants are always falling down..... I’m a hank hill body type). Now the cold breeze never gets to my backside

Clear slow water this is definitely my favorite. Faster current I go heavier

Congrats @The Bassman, that’s something a lot of us take for granted. Way to brave the elements

Run away

Im working out that way today, ill honk the horn when i cross the river! Tight lines!!!

Indeed! Works for suspended fish summer and winter. And if its shallow it can work on the bottom like you described. I still twitch it but not much

No problem man. Take some spoons and blade baits too and never rule out a walking bait

Oooo oooo take me take me!!! Never fished the lake proper but I love smallies in the cold! Dragging jigs like you mentioned is always a good option, most likely all the timber is high and dry but points are always good. If I could only fish one thing for deep clear cold water smallmouth it would be a 2.5 inch gulp minnow on an 1/8 oz jig head tight lining.

Wow nice shooting. I couldn’t hit the screen from here with a pistol

I say it all the time! Those Ned heads are too rich for my blood. I use round ball heads that cost less and other worms that cost less

That’s why a few hundred people move to Tennessee every day

I’ve caught winter smallmouth in 19-20 foot of water from muddy to clear, they just really like 19-20 foot all winter. Largemouth seem to push up when it floods

Sounds like the answer to your question is a lot of people eat bass, myself included. They are delicious. Poaching is bad but catching and eating bass is my favorite thing in the world

Dead sticking a weightless fluke can be very effective as well

I’m sure it varies from store to store but wal mart academy and DSG all have The originals in my area

I know one guy that fishes that exact technique almost exclusively in any water for almost any fish. Is this Gary???? Haha

The kick 6! Surely Saban didn’t think malzahn was gonna go for it up 3 inside his own territory

Sweet! I think I could get a few fillets off that lure! It looks Ready to pick a fight with a big largemouth come bed season

That’s the worst conditions we get where I live, much rather have it snow than very cold rain. We’ve only had one real blizzard in my life (if 2 feet counts as one) and I’m sure there’s worse things up north but drenched and 31 degrees is a bad place to be

Pretty funny when auburn tricked saban on that last play

@MassYak85, scuppernong worms...... if I had a nickel for every bass I’ve caught with those....... I’d have like $15

Luke Dunkin is more connected than you might think and if nobody has ever heard of him, why did the president of MLF go over his head in an attempt to censor his comments??

Bass Resource? Do you work for MLF?

Large negative backlash? BP and the G man leaving after year 1? MLFs North Korea like reaction to any criticism? Maybe they realized that trying to get everyone’s wife to watch wasn’t the best idea?
