I heard a scuba diver say that braid makes a crazy sound underwater, I'm guessing similar to the sound it makes going through the rod guides. Not sure if it's true but I may jump in and listen one day

Well dynamite is illegal and electro shocking is only for sampling and is illegal for the public. I have volunteered on shock boats and have worked for the Fed electrofishing streams with a backpack generator and it is very fun. Catch and release too! If you really want to make bass fishing “sporting,” then why not fish with only Fly gear?

Do you have bearing buddies? Mine always comes out of the tiny overflow hole that lets you know when it’s full. Sometimes it could come from around the dust cap cover. I have pulled a boat all over the southeast with grease slinging everywhere, at least that means you still have some grease in there! I like my outboard to be smoking and my hubs to be slinging hahaa. Well I would rather they didn’t sling grease but it doesn’t lead to problems (for me) as long as it’s slinging from the outside as opposed to the inside

A fish knife!

Gotcha thanks. 9plus is a monster for anywhere

Wow what state do you live in??? They allow you to drink beer on the lake in Tennessee, just can’t be over the limit. Also I have never heard of a passenger getting a ticket for riding too fast hahah. I bet a judge would have thrown that out but then you would have to go to court and probably pay for that . The one fish over the limit they will get you for every time anywhere in the country

Works like magic around here too

Sounds quite interesting

Love spooks but don't wait until fall!

@jbmaine, what were you doing on the TN river??? Just kidding, that's how all the glitter rockets fish here too. 10 years ago you could escape it up in the shallow rivers but now jet boats turn fuel into noise ALL DAY LONG . Seems hard to catch any fish on plane. @Mike L, you wouldn't consider driving within 25 ft of someone doing something wrong?

Oh goodness......... found an old soft shell on a trot line that I hooked with a shad rap once.....bluuuhhh....... @Choporoz, strange coincidence I also used a split shot rig to catch a few suspended fish a couple days ago, they had already quit hitting other baits so I was trying different things to get down to them. I guess all that I “learned” this week was from idling around watching the graph and remembering key spots. Well that and Reiterated that September is one of the best months for smallmouth Fishing here locally (google photos from past years helped remind me )

And both these places are near you? Wow.........

I like bone color on my topwaters. Buzzbait I like white but a lot of People like black. I usually try a few different things, I chucked a prop bait into busting fish the other day and they wouldn’t hit it. Threw a spook and one hit it harder than I could ever imagine. Maybe he didn’t see the prop bait but with big loud stuff I figure they see and hear it on the first cast or two

I get some hand poured. Also love rage craw and a rage menace on a shakey head (or Texas rig) is a heck of a craw imitation

Got any world war II depth charges? I appreciate the offer but I'll leave the musky targeting to the guys that love it, those Pike are what interest me. I like fish that you can catch all the time. Nothing against musky guys, the dude in the picture is a buddy that guides for them here. It's just not my thing

You are correct we have some giant musky but no Pike. I'm not too excited about the 10,000 casts though.......... Sorry for the hijack @A-Jay

You sir, need to be in Las Vegas

It's unbelievable how many of that size come out of there. Or did you mean chickahominy not chickamauga??

Great video!

Got one baby up against a dock, my girlfriend and I also both lost several gar that hit spook and jerkbait

Hahahah, he must be really skilled in the job interview processes

I tried to warn you about peterman!

I’m not good with a spinnerbait but I have caught some. What helped me is think about the fish and their reaction strike when you are working the bait. It looks like you are in clear water so the bass are probably seeing the flash and reacting (unless you are fishing deep) so willow blades will be better. If it were muddy or night time they are feeling the water displacement and reacting so big round blades work better. Now buzzbaits??? Those things are awesome. I will throw one all day. Nothing at all complicated about this lure, if it’s warm outside just throw it and keep it on top! And keep it on top from the very moment that it touches the water , don’t let it sink on the splashdown

Great bait for trolling but you can’t troll little river in Townsend! I fish up there a lot, hope to run into you one day .
