No I don't strip line out by hand, I have my drag set loose enough when a bass takes the bait they can pull some line. Alot of times when I set the hook on spinning reel I'll hold the bail, set the hook, then fight fish, letting him pull drag and enjoy
-
Similar to old timers tying a stringer of fish to back of the boat. Only downside is if fish's lip has just a clip on it, one good thrash and see ya fishy
-
Nope, probably not.
-
I set my drag "tight" by all standards, but with a big fish I'll click the bail and thumb out some line, then proceed to reel. That's on a baitcaster Spinning reel I like to hear that reel scream!
-
That's smart ^^^
-
Sometimes you got to cast into the wind. When you do keep your bait low as possible, sidearm works best.
-
I'll raise to a 9sec Palomar Dang now I have to time myself just to see...
-
We use popping corks in saltwater for trout and I use tiny popping corks for crappie but never done it for bass. Probably works, but I'm sure there's better options
-
What type of reel and what type of line
-
My favorite part!
-
Yeah I was just cutting up, but I did like your story! I don't doubt it was a grown un though keep after it. Now that you know that fish is there your always gonna fish that pond for her
-
The way that fight went, coulda been world record...
-
Great story. Always say fish with braid fish with confidence!
-
Same, I've went at least 4-5 times past month and pulled water. It happens.
-
I use cheap flambeau trays. Walmart special, I replace em periodically throughout the year. $4 a piece
-
Google images Palomar knot, basically one of the strongest and simplest knots out there!
-
I got a few berkley lightning rods, caught a pile of fish on em!
-
Why do you need to change your lures out so fast? Most can tie a Palomar knot in under 20secs.

I'm in the black/blue camp. Mostly always use a black/blue craw type trailer. Some days claws get some JJ's chartreuse dip on em. That's about it
-
If spraying for vegetation then it's just a herbicide, other than an oily feeling I wouldn't think it would cause any damage. But I would wash my hands and equipment when I got done fishing, an ounce of prevention goes a long way
-
A good fishing partner goes a long way. I can get discouraged after a couple hours by myself, but when I have a partner we can fish for 8hrs during a tournament for 1 bite and laugh the whole time
-
Again, mainly river fish but my average weight on a t-rig is 1/2ounce In current and around structure you gotta get that bait on bottom and in front a fish quick, plus you want just enough weight to keep the current from dragging your weight or you'll be tieing hooks all day. I also like the fact in a lake or a pond with a heavier weight I can drag bottom and mentally get a good perspective about how the bottom looks along with structure. Some people shy away from heavier weight but I prefer it. My heaviest bass came out if 8ft of water on a 1/2ounce pegged t-rig.

When nothing is biting I'll change species I'm fishing for. I'll catch some bream and catfish somewhere lol. I usually carry a ultralight pole bass fishing so I can panfish if the bite is slow. If the sun's our most of the time you can catch a bream.
