Sorry to hear you’re having this pain.Today I’m exactly at the one year mark of recovery from L2 to S1 fusion of 4 levels.At 8 months I was fishing solo on my bass boat but taking careful measures with movement.At one year I feel better than I have in a long time.I wish you great success with your surgery and recovery!

Impersonating a General inspecting Troops in The Dirty Dozen.Lmao

Went out yesterday with a fishing buddy and we had a really good day throwing OL Monsters 10 inch worms.it was hot and a stiff wind all day but we got into some feeding big largemouth on a wind blown bank. My biggest went 6-3 and we had several 3 and 4 pounders to go with it. These fish were in 5 to 2 foot of water where the east wind had been blowing on it for 3 days.So much for the east wind hoax lol.

It’s onFs2

@Capt Ed that is a neat tool and thanks for sharing

@Koz The horror

Tying an Alberto with 10# braid to a fluorocarbon leader with my arthritic fingers is like driving a nail with a paint brush.y’all can have it

Does anyone know what the strait lines under some of the weights on the leaderboard indicate?

I’d say 7 plus

Double uni works well for me so I stick with it

@scaleface beer time

It was a good morning on The Hill yesterday. The bass were healthy and the grass plentiful.Best 5 went 11 pounds. The water temperature below Russell Dam was 77 which was 3 degrees cooler than main lake.Don’t know if this pattern will hold until your tournament in two weeks but hope this helps. Sent @Koz the pics

@Koz a 101 scorcher on The Hill in a kayak. The buzzards will be circling.

Eatonton and Millegville Ga. Are 2 of the hottest places on the planet with humidity if you ask me.Im going up below the Russell Dam on Clark Hill at 1st light and fish the grass for largemouth.The high tomorrow is 79 with winds around 7mph.the water has been cooler lately as they’ve released some water.

One week after hospital release had to be readmittedfor dehydration complications but pulled through at emergency room.I’m doing fine now.

Lots of good jokes on this thread

Nolan Ryan I’ve lost my fastball and now I’m pushing Advil

Depth and temperature

Old school all the way

I use a 2 foot leader around rock and wood and a 3 to 4foot leader in and around grass.3/4 to 1/2 oz. Bullet weight with a bead and a barrel swivel . I don’t have a problem tying 3 knots because when they get on it I fish it all day and don’t want line problems

I’m frying bass I caught yesterday at Sinclair for supper tonight. So there’s that.

I would go way north of Pelican Pete’s There’s a nice ramp behind Gainesville Methodist Church with close access to Wahoo Creek and the Chattahoochee River. You can go south under the Highway 60 bridge and fish a lot of good points and coves until the traffic runs you back North. Good luck No weekends for me

School is about to let out for Summer and when it does the southern end of Lake Lanier is going to turn into Lake Ociener.Pleasure boats and jet skis galore.I’d advise you to go try the north end and learn it.Largemouth can be caught back up in the River and creeks as well as Spots. The Spots will make you work for the Largemouth but you can catch them once you find them. Fish the red clay points with rock on them all over the lake and every shoal marker you see.Be careful out there this Summer, it gets rough. Also it’s wort trailering up to Laurel Park to launch.Big mega ramp that’s no charge.
