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

The can be as mean as a rattlesnake at that size......

I can’t figure out how to watch it . Clicked on a link for majorleaguefishing.com in another thread and found everything but video. I still have only seen one episode of major league fishing in my life, and that’s when I was at my moms house and got lucky to find it on her tv. She gets hardly any channels and I get hundreds

Fiberglass = go fast!!!!

Like everyone said, sometimes it helps sometimes it hurts.

It indeed works in cold water. I have never considered the menace a grub, although it says grub on the package haha. It’s a craw in my eyes

Absolutely! Although I dont necessarily write down every bite. If you look at the rocks in the pic you will see why I bury the hook. I would say 75 percent or more of my fishing is done with that little hook, a standard 1/8 oz round ball jig head. I fish plastic worms, tubes, grubs, and gulp minnows with it. Which is pretty much all I throw with a few exceptions
