I give and I teach.

Jana and Dionna, mostly.

25 bass to start a 72 acre pond that was stocked with bluegill. Not enough bass for the bluegill so they eventually took over I'd imagine. That allowed them to grow big, which disallowed future bass to prey on them, stunting bass growth and increasing bluegill growth.

What's the name of the video?

I've never seen anyone get violent on the table or on the water, in a physical way. I've seen shouting and such. Like B Lat said, you just become known as that person who has no respect out of principal.

Pool is my second hobby. There's an unspoken rule that you don't walk into the vision of a person who is down on the table getting ready to shoot. Even the random bar people who don't play pool know this. It's a respect thing. An honor thing. Same with fishing. You know the unspoken rules. By all means everyone has access to the public water and the pros don't actually own any spots. But come on, be a normal, respectful person. Don't be a jerk.

Bad hooks are bad hooks. The sad thing is, renowned companies tend to provide bad stock hooks. Loosening your drag to compensate goes beyond the meaning of drag. Use drag properly and use good hooks.

Bass in ponds don't act like bass in bigger bodies of water. I find that in decent temps they are always shallow. Overcast helps so I don't get the problem. They are less visible to prey and elements.

If it's really that heavily weeded top water and punching are your best bets. I wouldn't expect numbers from that situation. I would expect weight and PBs.

Yeah man that's what I want. I like unique styles. This thread taught me that we live amongst 10 year olds who shoot over clothing. Guess fishing isn't as far removed from the hood as the "spit tabaccos" think

I fish squarebills at rocky, snaggy river dams and they work great. People fear the trebles but that bill causes more deflections than snags.

It's still going to be rough man. Open water doesn't mean it's warm water. Ice melt doesn't mean the fish turned on. All it means is we're getting closer. That water is still 20 degrees off from being fishable. You're still in super finesse mode. Slow way down. Down size.

Broomstick, 65lb braid, 1oz tungsten

Swim jigs, maybe chatterbait. Weightless plastics in holes. Also buzzbait

I don't fish in a ghetto or around backwoods cannibals. Nobody in their right mind shoots a guy with a fishing rod on the water, whatever the clothing.

I want the skull face ones mostly

Does anyone have experience with this company? I keep getting their ads on Facebook. They've got some sick looking face shields at good prices.

It probably can, but it won't feel very good and you do have a higher chance of snapping your rod.

This. You want to present the lure to the bass in the best way possible, from as natural looking as possible to the best action possible.

I don't care. They're making money. Not everyone actually likes their job. If they don't like fishing but found out how to profit off YouTube, who am I to judge or care? That's not to say that I don't find many of them obnoxious fools, because I do, and I wouldn't fish with them.

After I run some errands I'm going to visit my dad a state over in Indiana for a week. They've got a few 50 and 60 degree days coming up while I'm over there. I'll be out with him attempting a bass or two.

I enjoy nothing more than fishing finesse applications with light spinning tackle. It bores some people. I get it. A lot of people want to make cast after cast with something that moves and covers water. I like that too. But I like fishing slowly and fighting bass on light gear even more. It's probably the midwest northerner in me. After all we're all born with a spinning rod in one hand, a bottle of ranch in the other, and a Busch Light to our face. Ope! PS I learned casting before spinning and drink Two Hearted Ale like a normal person. But the stereotype is mostly true lol!

A heavily pressured 1.5 acre pond that is always loaded with people... If I insisted on fishing that kind of place, I would fish at night.
