12poundbass

Why do we say “heads up” when we actually duck? ?

You would have caught more if you wore your new shirt.

Nice screen name, I like it!

Is the only difference between a nudist and a streaker speed?

83 and you could cut the air with a knife this morning when I left at 5:40.

Maybe this was your mail guy.

Another half a closet full of Huk here as well. Love them and have had zero issues either.

Is a disagreement between two vegetarians still called a beef? ?

80 for us Sunday and 78 Monday-Tuesday and less humid.

That’s like with the Live Target sunfish. It caught me when it first came out. “It’s so realistic, it’s going to be a fish catching machine!” I said to myself. It took over a year for my tiny brain to realize the d**n bottom of that stupid thing wasn’t like the top, and all the fish could see was white, and a little yellow, and lite green. Yup the Live Target sunfish caught this angler!

Awesome guys, this is what I was hoping for!

I thought maybe this would be a fun little thread to try out. It’s not meant to be serious or philosophical, just dumb and funny. If poison expires does it get more poisonous or less poisonous? ?

We decided to head down the road a try the bridge. The vampire beaver (his nickname until his teeth come in) pulled the only smallie out of the water and it was a decent one.

Looking at the forecast for the next 48 hours made me think about this thread. Today high of 92 extremely humid and heat index of 100. Tomorrow 94, extremely humid, heat index of 108! I know you southern boys are saying so what! Here’s the kicker, go back 6-7 months when our windchill was -25, that’s a 138 degree swing! Figured I’d share that. Carry on.

Where in Michigan was it?

When I started my line of work 10 years ago it was a young mans game, 95% of the guys working were 28 or younger. Fast forward to last year. We were hiring and nobody was applying. After a month and a half we got 4 applications and thankfully all took the job and all passed the classes and OQ tests. 3 out of the 4 were 45 or older. This year we raised the starting wage. We received 6 applications, again hired 4 guys. Every single applicant was over 40. It seems like working outside in the wind, rain, heat, humidity, snow, and cold isn’t very appealing to the younger adults. I’m starting to sound like my dad but it’s true.

I always hear about awesome sales at Academy. Unfortunately there isn’t one in Michigan. Dick’s is a 55 minute drive but there’s no fishing stuff. There’s a Cabelas outpost store 75 minutes away. I have local mom and pop stores that has some things but geared more towards hunting than anything.

Saturday night we launch our boat on our lake. I was hitting them good on a Pop-R, the wife her trusty Senko. My son started to get discouraged because he wasn’t catching any. Then his attitude went south, he kept saying I never catch fish (mind you he’s probably caught 50 or more bass than me this year) then he caught a bass. His attitude changed and we all laughed. Lesson learned don’t complain or else.....?

If you’ve ever seen the TV show Monsters Inside Me you’ll see we’re exposed to things every day and for most of us our immune systems fight it off no problem. For a few their immune system is weak for a number of reason and the get infected. Not saying this is the case, because I’m not a doctor and I have no clue how flesh eating bacteria works (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night) I imagine you’re right though it probably is a isolated incident.

My step dad is a walleye guy and he hates bass green and brown. He’s been stocking their pond he dug out 8 years ago with perch, gills, and walleye. I keep threatening to throw some bass in there (I won’t actually do it, I believe it’s illegal here). I like the ruffle his feathers when it comes to bass. He goes to Canada every year walleye fishing and I always tell him to land a couple big smallies for me. ?

Those are great odds. I would have never thought it would be that high. Good to know.

I’ve always wondered what the survival rate is by doing this. I’m pretty sure if it were humans there would be a lot floating after it were all said and done.

If you want it to “walk” or turn to the side cut one of the ‘legs’ shorter than the other. What i I do instead of walking it is hold my rod in the 1 or 2 o’clock position and twitch the rod tip while reeling. This brings the front of the frog up and down creating more commotion than trying to walk it. I’ll twitch and reel for a few feet then let it sit still for a couple seconds, then repeat. Like with everything else experiment with the speed of your retrieve and amount of time you let it set. Throwing a frog is my favorite way to catch bass. There’s nothing better than a good frog bite!

That’s fair. I have marker buoys, haven’t used them as of yet.

You’re welcome. The bill is in the mail.
