Road To The Superbowl 2024
Seems like one team could be considered a Dynasty especially playing in 3 of the last 4 super bowls while winning two of them. While the other team has only 1 playoff appearance in the same time frame. Detroit fans have something to be excited about for once, let them have their time.

Update on the Walleye cheaters
In another video, it stated that Jacob Runyon is also going to court over a domestic violence charge and also had a restraining order placed upon him. Walleye cheater and a wife beater, what a guy

MLF/BPT Moving to a 5-Fish Limit???
To me the most exciting days are the cut days on the BPT Heck I usually watch days 3 and 4 but rarely the final day. I'm still a BASS guy though and Redcrest will never be The Classic

you keep cash in your wallet?
Bass resource guys look like this ...

Curious to see..
I was playing devils advocate, sure FFS is an awesome piece of equipment. However, when they all are using it. The advantage is lost. If the guy in 40th place has FFS and so does the guy in 1st. What was the difference? I see it as making the right on the water decisions, having more than a couple schools to cycle through and/or hitting the school at the right time so they could be triggered or fired up. My father in law has had side imaging for about 5 years on his boat. He refers to it as the worlds most expensive depth finder, because he cant use it. lol

What a horrible Thursday night game. Looked like a Johnny Manziel VS Ryan Leaf competition

Next bass resource meet and greet I'm gonna rob some of y'all

Curious to see..
It's funny because all the smallmouth tourneys I watched almost every competitor had FFS. Why didn't everybody win? FFS is just another tool, the guys that become the best at it will do better than those who dont understand the nuances. Same thing happened with 2D sonar and side imaging. IMO you are seeing is that some of the old dogs are having trouble learning the new tricks.

Fishermen caught cheating at Ohio tournament sentenced to 10 days
About 15 years ago in Ohio , it was a felony something about trying to change the outcome of a sporting event. Not sure of where on Erie this took place. They are lucky the mob didn't get them. Haven't heard that many f bombs since the last Browns game

Does Releasing Bass Affect The Bite....??????
This seems to be the case here with suspending smallmouth. Lots of guys will livewell fish when they are catching from a school. I know guys that will also move away from the spot before releasing them Is it some sort of superstition? could be especially down here MLF guys release them all and some guys sit there for what seems like hours on the same school catching them consistently However, winter schools and late summer schools are not what tournament fisherman chase.

Floating Docks vs Timber Docks
Just depends on the lake, Near me since they drop the water 20 feet every year Our floating docks are mostly the ones with cables. These offer spots in between floats to skip under In some cases like in the picture, they have a set of steps that also extend into the water they crank the dock up or let it float out further depending on the water level That single float under the walkway is the most productive spot for me anytime there is water under it

Your Go-To Largemouth Cover?
Skip a toad. Excellent around docks especially when everyone and their brother is throwing a jig or senko at em
-
Does it annoy you how many people mishandle fish, laying them on the ground and lipping them at a 45 degree angle for pictures?
Around here there are quite a few folks that fish for food. They go multiple times a week and will harvest pretty much anything. Those are the people I'm concerned about. Hope they catch enough for a meal.

Solo launch - no dock
I've got a Crestliner 16 and a half foot aluminum boat. My main ramp is an old road the dead ends in the water. So after I dump the boat in the water, I pull it up on the old asphalt or rip rap. Since my boat floats in a couple inches of water, I can pull it almost all the way in. (yours should too) Then I usually grab the nose, lifting and pulling it ashore the last foot or so. So there no real ramming of the boat ashore, more like guiding it to a rest. You want a long enough rope to get the boat in the water and you can pull ashore after pulling the tow vehicle up. I like to ease the boat into the water as opposed to launching it out and it taking up all the slack jerking the boat back towards me. My goal is to have the boat come off the trailer but be barely moving away from me.

Pick One Topwater Technique to Master
I fish a toad as my primary topwater bait. I view it as a finesse type of buzzbait, that's weedless and skips well. It's an excellent search bait. Honestly, I dont have the patience for walking a frog over the same water. I fish Norris Lake in east TN and its deep, clear and has no weeds. I'll catch em' over open water but that because underwater there are rocks, submerged laydowns, depth changes all the things that hold fish
