Late? No sir that's against my religion. I will be on the water fishing before daylight. If you're late just have a seat on the dock and I'll swing by and get you when the topwater bite slows. Better hope it's not overcast.

Been catching them lately in our low to mid 80 degree water by weighting standard suspending JB's to slow sink. Just casting it out over 20 - 30 FOW and give it a upward twitch occasionally. Water clarity is 8 - 10' and it's a blueback lake.

Everybody does that when they catch a Pig. Right??

Your immune system must be stronger than mine as it usually takes a week for me to recover from BFF(BassFishinFever). Funny I never get the cough but my thumb gets really raw.? Great fish.

I've experienced the first scene a few times. It's like somebody rang a dinner bell.

Fishing is Medicinal. ?

I like the licorice(black) mo betta. It will cause devastating line twist so every 6.2 cast you have rig it from the opposite end to remove the twist.

Not a reel failure but I had one of my Abu 6500C3's brass drive shaft gall on the stainless shaft while fighting very large bass on a 9" 5.5oz swimbait. I figure it wasn't lubed during assembly. It literally locked up on me, the very large bass threw my swimbait and I had to hand line it in. Since that day I've upgraded my reels and have meticulously maintained my reels which includes cleaning & lubing out of the box new reels. Did I mention it was a VERY LARGE BASS that taught me that lesson.

You need a mouse gun. I prefer the 454 Casull as it puts them down with no need for a 2nd $4 shot.

Let's see 3rd degree burns/possible death versus a swim/new boat. My fire extinguisher is for helping other folks.

Looks good

I thought about getting a spooling tool but it would upset my wife if I didn't walk in the house at 11:30 pm and hand her a spool of line & wood dowel. She just loves participating in my fishing trip prep.?

Fish the Shadow Rap Slow Sink standard & deep alot.

A 7-2 on a $28 Quantum UL combo spooled with 2lb mono throwing a Keystone Minnow. Back when portable phones were in a bag in your vehicle so no pics.

Exactly my thoughts. My frog hookup ratio is pretty good. I think it's all in timing the swing.

I'm glad you're on the mend JF. I've literally passed 4 kidney stones from the deck of my boat. Does that count?? I could've laid home & hurt or fished & hurt. I fished.

A Spybait will work occasionally on our Spotted Bass.

130 WP in Bone for the last 4 -5 years. But if there's grass I throw a Jackall Gavacho.

Picked up a Revros LT 1000 earlier this year to throw micro jigs and it fishes well above the $45 I paid for it. It's not as smooth as my Stradics but for the $ difference it's great. It's handled several big channel cats and lots of bass on my 6lb FC leader that hit my jig.

Crank with a 6 ratio for anything under 8xd. 8xd and up I'll pull out the 5 ratio.

Nice. Shortest Bubba Shot I've ever seen. ?

Koz that's a special thing you're doing. Thank you. Kids nowadays are forced to grow up too quickly and miss out on the things many of us have cherished memories of.

Y'all seriously use brakes? They just kill my distance too much. ?

I'd go big and show them something like the Da Big Nasty 14.25" worm. Don't give up the bank it can surprise you. I fish my sub acre 7' deep pond 2x a week for 15 - 30 minutes.

Very simple answer. Just ask yourself WWWRB do? " LOCATION" Best lure in the perfect color at the optimum speed & depth won't catch fish that aren't there.
