Landing Fish
Frabil Conservation in my 14' boat and a Ego S2 in my other 14' boat. Both work great but I like the ease of length adjustment on the Ego.

Fishing just for the heck of it
Little different. I'm on a mission to catch fish when I hook up the boat. If I want to relax I ride the tractor/mower or shoot a little long range. I'll I'll normally fish 6 - 8 hours but if they're simply shutdown I head home after 3 - 4 hours. My Xanax.

Fooled by lure/hook snag
My fishing partner fought 3 nice limbs all the way to the boat and each time I was ready with the net. One was a particularly nice specimen.

Fooled by lure/hook snag
I'm easily fooled with a crankbait rod in hand.

Landing Fish
I net every bass with my Ego S2(rubber coated). Never boat flip fish(break rods). I don't care what the pros do. When I hook that DD and she's slinging my big swimbait around, my netting movements will be muscle memory.

Gun oil for reels?
I used Rem Oil on my oiled bearing for years. Very fast, very thin, and must be applied regularly. I now us TS 321 and can't see any difference besides Rem Oil can be picked up at any sporting goods store versus ordering TS 321.

Far north (Canada!) big swimbaits for bass
The 200 is 3.5 ounces. Make sure you have enough rod or it'll hurt you and the rod.

Talk to me about MAGNUM flukes.
I fish the Magnum Fluke with a Gamakatsu Weighted Monster EWG Hook 1/4 oz 7/0. They're much more buoyant than a Super Fluke.

Gas treatment
I only use Ethanol free in my boats and use no additives. I run my boats 1 to 4 times a week year round and have no problems. If it was gonna sit a while I'd add Stabil.

BBZ-1 Rat Pack ~
I've got a couple 50's. Hopefully they'll produce for us. I've had a couple huge blow ups predawn that completely missed the bait.

When does the season start for you guys?
Why would snow on the ground stop you from fishing? Year round here. Make 1 to 4 trips every week of the year. I just wish we didn't have two Summer's. Our Spring and Fall are only like 11 days long.
