@Sam, I know you love watching Tennessee lose but they eliminated your beloved bayou Bengals from the sec softball tournament yesterday. Now I'm not saying I'm a huge follower of the softball team but the girl that pitched a CG shutout is from my hometown of Maryville. I would rather see some revenge in football or baseball but I'll take what I can get.......

Sounds like a place NOT to set foothold traps. A collarum trap is pretty good at catching only coyotes and is what we use in urban areas. My small dog digs under my fence constantly but I live in the city so the neighbors always catch him

@BassNJake, that’s my worst nightmare as a trapper. I’ve never had it happen but I have heard stories. We always ask all the neighbors if they have any loose dogs. They just removed the rubber jaw requirement for foot hold traps in TN, we just left the rubber on ours. I have caught myself a few times and was happy to have the rubber

I was speaking more figuratively, like, I go fishing as often as possible

Boston is playing some really good hoops

I keep my hook in the water as much as possible

@teethmarks, sweet shoes !!!!!!

Nice ones!

Sounds about right!

Sometimes I rip a finesse worm in half and wacky rig it. Or Texas rig a senko weightless and just let it tumble when getting hung too much

Killing 8 is better than killing 0 but your great grandchildren will be able to hear them every morning also. Coyotes are as relentless as a rat, they won't be stopped. I laugh every time a customer tells me "they built a shopping center over there so all the animals came to my house." Wildlife, especially coyotes, are extremely adaptable and thrive in shopping centers and neighborhoods just as well or better than they would in a national Forest. Unfortunately if you get rid of a dozen coyotes they send two dozen more. A friend of mine caught 23 early last fall at a golf course and two cemeteries, but he is the best old school trapper around here.

I’m hoping for a miracle from philly but it looks like Boston is finishing games much better. Sixers did look dominant at the end of the regular season, I was hoping they would represent the east. The talking heads on ESPN were hinting that poor coaching has lost them every game against Boston so far

Had a bachelor party to attend at a cabin up in the mountains so I left the house a little early and dropped in for about an hour of wading. Wasted almost the entire time trying to snag some massive carp and get some gar to bite. No luck even though I was surrounded by dozens of huge fish. Tied on a tube and got 5-6 smallmouth very quickly, probably should have started with the tube........

I caught 5-6 in an hour yesterday under similar conditions, just letting a tube tumble around in the rocks. They should be eating like sharks at 60 degrees unless they are locked into spawning. Although if that were the case I think you would see them. Is there a dam upstream of where you are fishing?

Looks like you don’t need any pointers on catching smallmouth! Nice catches, A lot of the water I’m fishing in Tennessee is the same temperature as your part of lake erie

Lebron goes glass for the win. He continues to impress this postseason, Toronto doesnt stand a chance

Don’t know much about hockey but it sounds like Nashville came up big last night to avoid going down 3-1 to Winnipeg. A lot of us Tennesseans, mostly clueless about the sport, are cheering for the predators since they are the only pro hockey team anywhere close.

Pun intended??

What about rats and cockroaches?

I'm betting it was hard to reel in too!

Nice job paying it forward, I bet she enjoyed that. Nice brown too

@5by3, I totally agree that any team LeBron plays for will be in contention for a title. He has taken some bad teams to the finals and some really good teams to the finals. Three of lebrons finals losses were with "big 3" superteams (one to the Mavs one to the Spurs and one to the warriors). As for an honset guess at that ragged 07 team LeBron dragged to the finals, (from a non Cavs fan without googling), I will guess taj Gibson andeson varejo and aldrunis ilgauskus???

My wireless trolling motor drove me mad (not even GPS, this was years ago) so I got a good ole fashioned regular one. Simple can be good

You might get spring in June
