That's a bass and 2 drum. I throw whole fish in my fridge overnight all the time and clean them the next day. It coagulates the blood and makes for much easier cleaning process.

Solid fish @N Florida Mike. And big kicker to boot!

Ive only fished sequatchie a time or two but I think we were around Pikeville around highway 27. It eventually flows into upper guntersville.

Cool deal!!! Thanks for posting. Funny how that fish is also considered the Tennessee state record but the boat launch they dedicated and license plates are KY

The sequatchie river might be just what you are looking for. Small tube jigs and topwater are my favorites

Ive never done it or even fished tournaments, just what I've seen on film

From what I've seen on YouTube of Scott Martin and Jacob wheeler, you just feel the bite and let the fish swim around with the bait and no resistance. Wheeler says he can somewhat tell how big they are by the way the bite feels

My cousin used to work at a federal penitentiary and he says family stress is way more enjoyable than when someone is trying to strangle you with your own neck tie haha

I don't think she logs onto bass resource but I better re phrase that!!!

I'm going this evening with some Limblines for catfish, I told my buddy my left hand was at 60 percent haha. We would all be dead if our dogs wanted us to be! I think they could take down Ali and Marciano

Just remember you are more important in someone's eyes than the birds of the sky that don't plant nor harvest nor store in barns, yet they are taken care of. Don't hesitate to ask us for help if you need it!

my girlfriend's friend is obsessed with rescuing dogs and she works at a hospital so hopefully she can help me if need be.

Well somehow the dog toy ended up amongst all 3 dogs and one of them was asleep. So they all started fighting and my dumb$&@ belly flopped into the middle of it all. Dogs fight very well, won’t do that again. After I realized I wasn’t going to be able to pry them apart, I remembered they are terrified of the broom. Had it not been for that broom I might have ended up in the ER! Haha. One of them was biting the heck out of my left hand, it’s throbbing

Got a 19" about 3.25 lbs and a 21.5" a little over 4 lbs. Been experimenting with a cheap spring scale, good evening to have it. Surprisingly accurate

Wow nice fish

I always cast up shallow and drag it down the drop . I read on here a few times from @WRB to work jigs uphill and I've read @A-Jay say to start shallow and work your way out deep. I've tried dragging baits uphill and they just get stuck so I think the answer to your question varies by region and/or type of water you are fishing. All we have is rivers or rivers with dams so most points and drop off are steep and Rocky and littered with logs. Therefore I have much more success dragging baits downhill. I'm always stuck or retying dragging uphill

Not after the lip sync incident of course

We had several straight days of off and on rain but today is sunny/ windy/ much less humid. It feels quite refreshing..... Guess I'll have to go fishing again.

I also enjoy "have you ever seen the rain" and "who'll stop the rain" by credence

@12poundbass, oh yeah, I forgot about that. No wonder you have so many toothy dinosaurs swimming around up there

The right conditions are often when they first build a dam. That’s why a lot of fish records are from 30s-50s. WHen you first flood a river, the fish populations boom like crazy. There’s a dam near here that was built in ‘76 so a lot of people remember it well. They all say the fishing was easy and the fish were huge, then everything eventually balanced out . Our oldest lakes are the most infertile

There’s a couple ponds where I work weekends that bass have become trained to do that. It’s pretty wild, I’ve seen them knock the bluegill up onto dry land. On rare occasions you can hook a bluegill with a size 20 zebra midge and when then bass eats it, the hook somehow transfers and you can land the bass. After much experimentation I would say it’s about a 5% success rate but it does happen

Went trolling for toothy critters and the water was too high and fast. Or so I thought........... 60 degree surface temp and rolling like crazy, I can’t believe I caught this sauger in the first 10 minutes. Must have been my hound that sniffed it out
