12poundbass

Welcome back, it’s sure been quite awhile. Now we just need to track down @tipptruck1

I remember watching a KVD video back in February or March where he said he was going to have MEGA Live before a certain event and obviously that never happened so something went seriously wrong at some point.

It only exists on the internet. Lol The pros were supposed to get theirs a few months back, but that never happened. The release date was pushed back a few times and now there isn’t a new release date that I’m aware of. Some vendors have taken deposits and some die hard Humminbird guys have put deposits down on a unit that virtually doesn’t exist. Strange times for sure. ?

A throwback photo from Hank’s younger wilder days. He’s no party animal anymore.

Maybe I’m just lucky but the only time I’ve waited over a week and a half for a TW order was Black Friday last year. My last order was a few weeks ago (Dobyns rod) and it took less than a week from the Georgia warehouse. I always just do the free shipping.

I’ll pass on that job! That’s a pretty cool pic. Having worked in the utility field for 11 years I’ve hoped to see this in person by now but I’m still waiting.

There’s still a ton of it here and I drive over the horse crap almost every night on my way home from work. ?

Welcome from the middle of the state in Montcalm county.

Thanks Paul. That was date night last Friday and that picture was taken after the sun went down. Mrs. 12poundbass is Bassresource camera shy (though I don’t know why) so that’s what you get. ? Congrats to you two as well. You better cash a check Friday . ?

15 years married today. How time flies!

I’m looking off my deck and can see 6 bluegill beds. The bass won’t be far behind. It’s fun watching them guard the beds!

That’s pretty incredible. Mother Nature is pretty cool and at the same time can be pretty cruel.

Garmin gives you more bang for your buck. The lakes that aren’t on LakeVu and even the ones that are only require an SD card and you can create your own maps. Humminbird requires a $100+ zero lines card made by Humminbird.

I’ve lost a few over the years. Approx. 14 years ago the wife and I were fishing and she wanted to bring one of our Pugs on the boat. This dumb dog decided to jump off the front of the boat and went under it. As I circled around to grab him I must have kicked a spinning combo overboard. Last year or the year before 6poundbass and I were fishing and he grabbed my pitching set to use. As he was heading to the back of the boat he tripped on the bench seat and I heard “oh no!” As I turn around I see my rod and reel sinking into the abyss. I got a better set up out of the deal though.

Are you dreaming about me, dreaming about you? ?

See Paul, dreams do come true! As soon as I saw the title to this thread I knew you’d be all over it!

LIL Tortilla Shells chiming in here! ?

Date night with the wife. She’s dog sitting for an older couple and they said we could fish off their dock, so of course we did. Both of us are finally on the bass board. We both caught our first bass of 2021 at the same time. Nothing to write home about, but they were bass.

Algae blooms happen all the time on our lake, so much so they added two more sprays last year because the blooms were so bad. ?

They just sprayed our lake yesterday. ?

I’d guess a spot too. It doesn’t appear the ‘hinge’ of the mouth extends to or past the eye. That being said the picture isn’t focused on the mouth and the mouth is open.

I’ve been a utility locate technician for 11 years now. I’m the guy that puts the annoying paint and flags in your yard. ? As of this year I’m the supervisor of our West Michigan locating department. It’s been a fun and interesting job.

Cant get any better than a frog bite in pads or the thick nasty slop.

I couldn’t think of anything more fun to do on a Saturday night than to give Hank a bath (insert sarcasm). Hank as usual fought us the whole time, destroyed the bathroom, and soaked us both. He’s none too happy right now, but he’s clean, and doesn’t stink anymore.

I’ll bet those things put up a heck of fight. The little ones are very strong and aggressive.
