I can mow through those $200 boots in 6 months..... pics to follow

Like on chickamauga when people come off plane when you set the hook? Followed by a mysterious beeping sound .......

Randy Travis’s answer to your last sentence is “it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, but what you leave behind you when you go.” I’m not saying I don’t participate in some fishing mind games or anything like that, those lyrics just came to mind. I’ve made some good friends sharing fishing info with others

MY favorite are waterproof leather Wellington style boots. I’ve had a couple different brands and ruined them pretty quickly on roofs though. Does thorogood make any without laces? I hate paying high dollar for boots that I quickly ruin

My buddy brings a blue heeler camping and it barks the entire time day and night. It’s annoying but at least bears don’t sneak up on us . When I took our dogs tent camping, they just kept hearing coyotes and staring off into the distance . I think they wanted to join the pack

Rogne brown is the guy if he’s still doing it. Mike carter is another good one. Scenic city fishing charters has a guide named Ben Hayes that does bass also

You might want to go back to fishing for little ones if MLF/BPT keep taking over !

Yes, Dayton is much more friendly to tournament fishing than Chattanooga. It’s a tiny town that loves the economic stimulus of big tournament. Chattanooga, a much bigger city just a little further downstream, seems more interested in biking and triathlon type events. There’s nothing to do in Dayton but fish haha

Yes, the only reason I knew is because I was in the arena when he explained it

They were still waiting to weigh in on day 2 when they had the convo

Lowrance elite 4hdi. Also on a side note, i have a Belgian made browning A5

Meeeeeee too!! Quicker that way

Chattanooga is having an MLF this year j think

Maybe Sam! I also forgot they had fried Asian Carp that was pretty good

Everyone seems to be enjoying the heck out of it. Even the guys getting skunked are saying they had a good time. Fort loudon isn't the best lake on the TN river for monster bass but Knoxville seems to set up well for such an event. It would be neat to have one in Chattanooga too, someone might bring in 40 lb one day.....

I drive by that area at work almost every day of the year. I always wondered if there were fish in there, thanks to Ike I now know! Haha

I met @Glenn and his wife, @volzfan59, airborne bass, and some others at breakfast. All super folks! I only bought some Berkeley dredger 17.5, @BigSkyBasser got some jerkbaits. We met Hank cherry, Hunter shryock, and a few others. We watched the pros headed back to weigh in from my boat and when wheeler went by his boat was making a strange noise. Sure enough on the way back to the ramp, there it is on the bank with no one in sight. Then we went back to the launch to pick up @kbeeb374 for some striper fishing that didn't pan out, he got two nice largemouth though! And @BigSkyBasser got a nice smallmouth. I think I got the standard non keeper dink yesterday. Here's some pics, even saw a goose nesting 50 feet up a cliff

If theres a lot of logs on the bottom the football head will get stuck quite a bit

Hahaha sounds like you even picked up on the local vernacular judging by the title

I'm sure we could meet up one way or another, It looks like all the competitors went waaaaay downriver from my house so we could maybe fish upstream in the rivers or on another lake . I think we will all be busy meeting for breakfast and going to the expo for the first part of Saturday

Cot would be more comfy but if it's below 35 or so degrees I like to lay on the ground. Mother Earth is warm

Tornado? Yes. Although @roadwarrioris a far piece from me. 70+ degrees and really windy in Knoxville right now

If you caught a 7lber you didn’t miss a thing

Actually they made a new artificial turf field this year, that’s all fake. The only real dirt is on the mound. The home and visiting teams seem to love it, we have played in a about 10-12 downpours this year and they finished every game except one
