Hahaha. I think I have posted the story on here before but I accidentally bought a left hand retrieve baitcaster with $75 worth of quarters when I was about 12. I was very proficient with a right hand retrieve baitcaster at the time but the lefty felt crazy and I couldn’t hold the rod tip stationary. Since a 12 year old can’t really drive himself back to the sporting goods store I just practiced until it was second nature . Now I can use either RH or LH retrieve and I can cast left or right handed

Me and 22,149 of my closest pals

It never hurts to practice and become proficient reeling with each hand.

I just grab whichever shirt I see first laying on the bedroom floor........

Looking a little better now......

no injuries but this team is somehow clearly worse. I’m here at the game and we look terrible

No problem man

No where close to equipped for it but it seems to happen a few times every year the last decade or so. I just fish from the bank when it's extra cold, I figure if people live in Canada all year, I can stand outside all day in 25 degree weather every now and then I did have to shed down to a t shirt at work a time or two this week. Granted I was climbing up and down a ladder in the sun

My bad. I'm a member of the same hater club as @Steveo-1969 and I can't help it sometimes

Blood pressure meds are at the ready like m and Ms after the last two games

That's a roller coaster. A postman just told me we are supposed to be getting single digits overnight next week

Possible. Sounds like you are okay with shaming a child and his parents but not precious local QB. I mean, after all, go pats, right????

You never know, kid might be a ref one day .

Maybe don't cheat if you don't want to be called out? Just a thought

Some of the best 5 fish tournaments weighed and released all but their biggest keeper. Watch lake Travis 2018 bass elite

If it gets above 35 or so I will probably be launching both days this weekend. If it’s wjndy + cold I’ll be bank fishing. Let me know if you need a ride

Gotcha, my bad

Yea I’m not sure there’s enough parking no matter what they do but who knows

Well I at least found out I have the outdoor channel on directv

Yeah it’s a little weird

Maybe this has something to do with the Classic https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2019/01/24/boat-ramp-ned-mcwherter-park-tennessee-river/2669172002/

I don't know, most of them won't idle any slower than 3.5 mph.

I think I got them at a local tackle store, there was no brand on the last batch I got so I'm guessing they are made in someone's basement . I use the arkies from Walmart quite a bit also. When you hang up hundreds of times , it helps to have a hook that might bend (a tad). I would rather use a strong hook but I would also not rather hang up and retie all day. They hold big smallmouth surprisingly well as long as you don't horse them. Usually they are hooked in the roof of the mouth and very difficult to unhook. They don't throw the bait nearly as often as a rattle trap

Thanks

Not sure exactly but I have seen a popR with the back hook taken off and small hair flies tied on two separate lines trailing off the back. That’s a trick everybody’s grandpa used around here on schooling fish. They claimed it’s hook up ratio was far superior to when the bass would just knock a spook up into the air over and over. It’s a little too tangly gangly for me but I bet it would work very well. I don’t like fishing Alabama rig, donkey rig, or even a tandem fly rig for trout. Heck I don’t even like trolling two poles for crappie, but that’s just me. I always turn it into tumbleweed
