12poundbass

Change your reel speed from time to time as well. Slow then a few fast turns of the handle, slow, little faster, erratic speed changes.

I remember one year on the Louisiana delta people in air boats were driving by and blowing air on the anglers and some were shooting guns (not at them thankfully). Some people don’t want anglers in their territory.

Your first bass and it’s only 1lb shy of my PB. Welcome, you’ll find plenty of info and great people here that’ll help you catch those monsters Texas has to offer.

I’m not a tide fan. I’m a fan of two of the most hated things Miller Lite and

You forgot the word tide after roll. ?

We can kill two birds with one stone. You can find out if they transfer and I can get practice on how to use my new super powers. ?

Your cat is cooler looking than mine. But does your cat let you give it a bath like ours does? Please say no. ??

Teacup Panther. I’m going to steal that. I have a teacup tiger!

Back when we were teenagers a few of us went to a friends farm to chase pheasants. One of our friends had a German Shorthair and within .5 seconds of getting out of the truck she had a chicken in her mouth. ?

Warmouth is what the little guy is. Three spines on the anal fin and 10 on the dorsal. They are fun to catch and if you get into a group of them they’ll keep you busy! They have little man syndrome. Another identifier is they have a rough patch on their tongue.

More rain, thunderstorms, wind, warmth. I’m really thinking about launching the boat this weekend and hitting a small lake. A little easier to knock the rust off that way. ?

I still love my Black Max reels. Great bargain reels!

I’ve had to call them once regarding a transducer issue which they helped diagnose. I had a great experience with them as well. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone of anyone having a bad experience with Garmin customer service.

You’ve graduated to channel locks now?

Oh don’t worry, I’ll be the first to admit user error. ?

For a treble hook. Since you’re a fellow Michigander, I’ll throw in a split ring for free!

Exactly how my dad is, buys a work truck bare bones and keeps them for 20 or so years. Rinse and repeat.

Any chance this will be pinned to the top?

Now that you mention it you’re right! The rubber bands made me think you, but a box partially full of lures from Roadwarrior threw me off. Now that I think about it, the Tackle Warehouse stickers I found are another Menderchuck Bait and Tackle calling card. ? If anyone wants to try and extract DNA off from these lures to try and match it up to northern lakes to find the true identity of Lake Menderchuck, I’ll sell them for $1,000 a piece. ?

Ha ha, yup! I just pulled out another rock crawler I have and you’re right. These are the 50, the two I previously had are 55’s.

If there’s wind above a lite breeze this time of the year I’d go to Duck. I haven’t fished Duck in about 25 years. ?

Day 2 of going through my tackle. I found 7 more lipless cranks I forgot I had, a couple KVD 300 jerks, blade minnows, and Zakos! Christmas time here I guess. Lol I did find these and I’m not sure what they are. They’re Spro and I believe I got them from @roadwarrior.

Well, if you can hold your breath for a week straight you should be good to go! Since that’s not physically possible, I recommend just waiting out Mother Nature, because she’s going to be nasty this week. ?

If @TnRiver46 helped you out in anything technology wise, we’re all in big BIG trouble! Lord help us!
