Nice work. Brrrrrrrrr.

Those large white things are the testicles. I know that sounds like a joke but it’s not

I was really lucky and had zero debt out of college. I always thought having no debt was a great thing until I went to buy a house. I had to apply for a credit card and go into debt on purpose in order to get a loan . Pretty stupid process but what can you do ........ if you have no debt they think you are a weirdo

I had some of those once and fish ate the heck out of them and I guess too much time went by and I forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder. I even caught several out in open deep clear water with them. Buzzbait is my favorite but it’s useless in the cheese mats

That is an awesome looking boat and those motors are always reliable from what I have seen. I would caution agaisnt buying a boat without driving it as I have been ripped off a time or two but I guess that's not an option up there

Weather dependant but that should be a great time to fish the tributaries. I'd be glad to show you a spot or three

I do........ What are the dates of the classic? If its in winter the small stream can be very tough

I’ll be around, hopefully not working but I’m always off work by 4 or 5

I got 6 of them from @Bluebasser86, so far this is the only one I have thrown. It works.

”dazed and confused”

Straight tail worm on an 1/8 round ball jig head. I fish this all year but definitely down deep in coldest part of winter

Nice doggies!

It’s kind of sad most big tournaments around here take 20 lb sometimes more to win and I can’t hardly break that mark in a calendar year....... thanks @N Florida Mike........... ha!

I don’t know if TN counts as southern but you beat me by a mile!

My coworker tells me a joke all the time : “camping without beer is just sleeping outside” I kind of feel like life without a boat would just be paying bills and taxes. Financing anything is going to cost extra, That’s just the price you have to pay for not having a lump sum laying around. I have probably spent more money on boat repairs than almost anything other than house and car since college. I would have much rather “wasted” all that money on boats than to have kept it in a bank. I have also been given a couple boats throughout my life (it pays to respect your elders!) so my opinion may be worthless but you can always make more money. I say buy two boats! And make sure one of them goes extra shallow!!!!

Count it!!!!

Wrong thread

You rascal Good gravy!!!!! Makes a man want to visit FLA

No clue but I would say I caught at least 5 4 lb smallmouth. Definitely got at least 5 3 pound smallmouth so somewhere between 15-20 lbs. I bet I have only caught 1 or 2 largemouth in the 3 lb class for 2017-2018. All this being said, the week between Christmas and new year is always the best fishing week of the year so there is still room for improvement

My buddy’s wife was told by a doctor she couldn’t have kids. Now she has 2! You never know

That would be a lead pipe lock!

I couldn’t live without a boat and I have spent way too much on fixing them. Oh well I would spend my bottom dollar on it. I was made to be on the water, can’t help it . Canoe is good if you are on a budget

Jig heads are neither weedless nor stumpless. That being said my favorite is a 2.5 inch paddle tail on a 1/8oz jighead. Just bring plenty of jigs

Awesome fish! Beautiful lake too, looks Appalachian....
