If you had a time machine that could let you fish anywhere on earth at any time in history, when/where would you go?
29 years ago on a New Moon night when I took my girlfriend that's now my wife to a pitch black pond in a leaky paddle powered jon boat and put her on her first big bass a 6 lber. I'll never forget the excitement on that 18 year old blonde babes face illuminated by my Maglite.

When using medium to deep diving crankbaits do you use a snap? Or snap swivel ? Do you just tie directly to the bait?
Decoy Egg Snap #1.5. I retie often & leave the split ring on for quicker & easier connections.

Fishing Alone
Most newer phone will take a picture by voice command. I do it every trip. Just flip out the stand or lean it. I grew tired of silly looking pics.

Lightweight Net: Who makes em
My Ego is a great adjustable net but it's stout for one hand netting jobs. My Frabill is slower to adjust but much lighter. Hope that helps.

Fishing Alone
I've fished with my friend every Friday for 10+ years and enjoy his crying/bellowing/moaning/whinning about me out fishing him from the back of his boat. We fish a 25 hp restricted lake primary so we're in smaller less stable boats. When I fish by myself in my boat my fused back hurts alot less due to not counter balancing to his front deck gymnastics.

Has the success of Berkley Maxscent baits changed peoples mind about the role scent plays?
Caught 15 bass last week using MegaStrike(Crawfish) to my partner's 3 bass with no scent. Using the same lures and line. Put me down as a believer.

Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke ~ Know the Signs
In my early 20's when I was bulletproof I worked in a 150 degree church attic( mid Summer in Ga) for far too long. Something happened and I've never been able to handle hot weather the way I could before. Hot weather means night fishing for me.

Struggling with the weather choices
The weather plays a role on what & how I fish. I'll always choose stormy, cloudy, night, and/or windy/very windy over bluebird days. But I'm going if I get the chance and will play the hand I'm dealt.

heavy spinnerbits
I throw up to 2.5 ounce SB's on deep humps and points at night during the warmer months. My 1.5 ounce SB's have supplied a few big fish after I had a limit during daylight tournaments. I throw them on my 8' Daiwa 1- 6 oz swimbait rod spooled with 20 lb CXX.

Earliest you have ever been bass fishing.

Thanks Glenn. Gonna be 98 degrees in the shade here in GA this week. The bass I'm targeting will be nocturnal cause I'm making a transition.
