12poundbass

It is ok to have differing thoughts and opinions, as long as everyone is respectful, which is what we’re seeing here. I’m assuming that’s why it’s still open.

I had it at 19 while undergoing chemo. I actually thought it was radiation burns from my couple rounds of radiation. It was not fun and I still have numbness along the left side of my chest, armpit, and along my back.

There ya go! We expect pictures of your flat top endeavors.

A little spring cleaning today. Hank isn’t too happy about it. ?

Nope. He doesn’t fish. Chicken fajitas are pretty d**n good on the Blackstone.

My dad has 2 Blackstones. He uses them all the time during the warm months. He’s cooked for us a few times and the food is always amazing. I’ve pondered getting one, but for now I think I’m going to get some cast iron for the Pit Boss. Here’s a breakfast he cooked for me and 6poundbass one morning last summer.

Awesome fish man, congrats!

I’m still undecided. I’ve never gotten a flu shot. I’ve never been one to get sick very often. I’ve had the flu maybe three times in my life. I will say this, my family has been a lot healthier the past 12 months. I was a hand washer before this whole thing, but after using hand sanitizer the past year, I’ll always use that stuff going forward.

I do like that song. I used to have that CD.

There’s a guy out ice fishing on our lake as we speak. The overnight lows are not helping one bit.

I think I’ve reached a mid - mid life crisis. I grew up on rap music then did a 180 and switched to country. Thanks to YouTube I found Ryan Upchurch. Not sure how that happened but it did and I’m starting to like his music especially after doing some research on him. You might recognize a guy in the video. He recently backtracked on the video because of a certain symbol (a sale out in my eyes but that’s my opinion) but either way Ryan Upchurch’s music has cought my attention and I’m a follower. Like the music or not he’s a complete Guinness and I applaud him.

Live 3D Mark it down. If I read correctly a while back Garmin applied for a patent for this technology.

Mud season is here @A-Jay! I just found a trench that was covered in mud. It put up a good fight, but I wasn’t about to let the mud take me. @MN Fisher No more than 10 minutes after saying I’ll welcome the rain this happens. I’m rethinking the rain deal. ?

As much as I don’t want rain because it’ll make mess of everything I’ll welcome any rain we get to speed things up.

That’s how we’re looking early to mid week next week. The overnight lows are killing the ice melt though, or at least slowing it down quite a bit.

Use the lower frequency which gives you a bigger cone to find what you’re looking for, then go back over it with the higher frequency to get better detail.

Everybody is different as far as color goes, play around and see what suits you best. Default settings are perfect.

I do the same. I’m not taking a chance at kicking up a rock or anything else and smashing a screen.

Those look nice!

Me to a tee the past couple years. ? While I buy and buy and load up on tackle, rods, and reels, and read, and watch videos, and say I’m going to try this technique and that I end up trying one new technique it ends up working out and I ride that wave most of the season. Last year it was the bladed jig. I don’t like getting outside my comfort zone in more than just fishing, so once I do venture outside of it (bladed jig again) and try something new I’ll stick with it and the long process of trying something new starts all over again. Structure fishing is another one of my handicaps as you know. I spend all winter reading, watching, and learning. Ice out comes I go offshore, skunk, and run right back to the bank. It’s quite maddening! But once I finally figure something out offshore I’ll stick with it to the point I’ll drive myself nuts again. Hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day. That’s what I tell myself to help with my insanity. ?

And now we know why frog legs taste like chicken.

Sounds like a good idea!
