Older and Wiser
Guess I been lucky..I hated being sunburned. At about age 12 I said to my self “self, that hurt. Don’t do that again.” Youd think I’m part of the Taliban the way I’m covered up. And yes as a football coach and fisherman I’m out in the sun ALL THE TIME. I was weary in the hoodie WAY before coach Prime

Nick Saban is retiring
He was/is the best to ever do it. You War/Eagle/Tiger slash The Plains fans just may have a shot now. Ralph Jordan and John Heisman are running inside run drills in the big gridiron in the sky!

New Electronics restricted Bass Tournament in the works ?
I like this guy…he’s, he’s our type of guy. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t have ffs but will get it, until then you can find me way way up in the bushes catching those fish all ffs boys have chased off. I’ll be swatting flies, retying, flipping flopping, cussing when one gets me caught up in the stuff and I can’t get him out, push poling fool

What is the overall consensus and breakdown on how exactly barometric pressure impacts fishing, particularly for river smallmouth?
Good thing I have a science degree in science and can get to the bottom of this with science. Science says “going fishing is better than being at work at home and especially better than something the old lady has planned for you with her work friends” so science says go fishing regardless

does anyone compete (Successfully) in a bass tournament in a small boat?
I fish BFL and doing Toyota Series out my 17 Xpress with 115. No it doesn’t do anything about finding catching fish. What a bigger more powerful boat does is it can get you there and back safer and drier. Big O and Harris can get angry

Well, I finally launched without the drain plug
Been there. First day first two hours I bought the boat on its maiden voyage. Put the plug into the livewell out hole. Found out real quick the importance of automatic bilge system

BFL Co-angler question
Did it for 2 plus seasons in Gator division. The best thing you’ll learn is the lakes. Baits and secrets, not so much. You’ll figure out 90% of anglers do the same thing. Just not in the same places and details are the difference. $100 is to much. 40-50. If you cash a check, maybe a little more. Most anglers are normal humans. Only ran across 1, non human. Was in 2nd place after day 1 of a Super. Had a shot. I won’t say he cost me but he made it very very difficult for me to fish. That was my last and By God hopefully my last voyage as a Co. Ran this season as a boater. Anyhow, do it. You’ll run across exactly what you think you will. Some guys with a lot of money and can’t fish. A lot of guys with not a lot of money who can catch them. All in all, it’s a blast. Good thing if you catch 5 every tournament you’ll have a chance at AOY

100% Fluorocarbon Question
Ehhh..not sure about that. Flipping and frogging is all I have braid on for. Standard worm(or jig) going down the bank 20# Sunline Sniper. I think (could be placebo but that counts too!) I get more bites than braid. Granted I don’t know what ‘sniper’ vs ‘shooter’ vs ‘tactical’ or any of that stuff means but I haven’t had an issue and I snell the knot as well.

Can someone please explain why I would use the first hook versus the second hook?
^ Ive gone exclusively to flipping hooks no matter what. Different sizes but straight shank flipping on everything with a snell. No need to over think on my part
-

D. None of the above Straight shank. I like the point of the hook angle better than those two. But out of those two, the first one

Your Dad
I’ve never seen my old man use a tool..a wrench, hammer or screwdriver. He’s a hell of a football coach tho and he snuck a 12 pack of Heineken into the delivery room of my first born son. So I got that going for me…which is nice He’d also listen to Richard Pryor on tape on the the way to school in the morning when I was a kid and that was when I found out you’d better laugh at this thing while you get a chance
