12poundbass

Reading this reminded me of the time I caught a walleye with a band on it. This was probably 30 years ago. I was up on Big Bay de Noc with my mom and stepdad fishing like we did every summer. We sent in the tag and waited and waited for what seemed like forever! We eventually received the information back from the DNR stating the walleye had been tagged the previous year and it was tagged about 1/2 mile away from where we had caught it. Six or so years later my buddy and I were goose hunting his grandparents land and bagged a goose with a band. We were so pumped and immediately called the number to get the info. We were anxious to hear where it was banded, Saskatchewan, Minnesota, somewhere in the Deep South? Nope, the dang bird was banded about 5 miles away from where he shot it! Bummer. 😂

@gimruis 6poundbass can take care of them for ya!

@J Francho @TOXIC Loose instead of lose 🙄 I shouldn’t judge but it drives me crazy.

Pre 16 I rarely bass fished. My stepdad was and still is a walleye guy so they were mostly our target species. Plenty of fond memories of trips to northern Michigan fishing Black lake and eventually migrating to the UP after they bought property on Big Bay de Noc. Once I turned 16 and had a set of wheels the bass game was on. My friend lived on a lake so we’d take their pontoon out and bass fish all the time when we weren’t fishing. We also had access to a small private lake with only one house on it. When not on the big lake we’d be out in a row boat on the private lake losing having a blast. The mosquitoes would rob us of a pint of blood a week but we didn’t care, we were catching bass and being boys.

Trick or treat!

4” of snow here last year. Last year Muskegon, MI received 8” of snow, high winds, and power outages which delayed trick or treating for a few days. 70* here today.

Bravo! What a great season.

We haven’t been out. Firearm season starts the 15th here. We’ve been seeing plenty of activity on the trail cameras with quite a few bucks but, only two shooters.

Goff is playing out of his mind so far this year. The Bills beat up on the Seahawks too. Go Bills!

I used to deep dive into all that noise and it got way over complicated. I’m in the keep it simple camp. I stick with what works for me.

Welcome to Bassresource!

I used to use whatever I could get a good deal on as far as rods and reels go. Over the years I’ve upgraded both. As far as rods go, I’m more on the side of technique specific. It tends to keep things simple for me. Boy was I missing out all those years!

Anyone see the zoomed in slow motion video of Deshaun Watson injury? I’ll bet that didn’t feel good.

Good game in Minnesota. The Lions are pretty solid, their D isn’t as good without Hutchinson but they’ll be fine. My Bills won too!

We took a family day trip up to Houghton Lake for a color tour. We tried fishing but skunked. Here’s our skunk photo the Mrs. took.

Harvest season is in full swing here in Michigan.

You aren’t missing much. I never had an Xi TM, I had a wireless Motorguide and did not like the wireless especially the foot pedal. Thankfully I got it 90% off thanks to my brother in-law who worked at Atwood otherwise I would’ve been extremely regretful for making that purchase.

I caught my PB on a frog, late October (Michigan), windy, and rainy. All I threw that day was a frog and they were blowing up on almost every cast. I’d throw right back and they’d hit again. I only landed 4 or 5 in 3 or so hours, but the smallest was 2.4 and my PB was 5.4. It was one of those days I’ll never forget because of all of the action.

Lions are killing the Cowboys! Hutchinson goes down with a nasty leg injury.

Welcome to Bassresource!

I have a 2010 FX4. I had the cam phaser delete installed and new timing chain. No issues since I had it installed two years ago. Full disclosure, I don’t put many miles on it because I have a company truck I drive every day during the work week.

Wow that’s unbelievable!
