You clearly need a 3/8 oz rattling Beetle Spin. 😁

Welcome to the forum.

For LM, I give them what the gear can deliver. The larger the bait, the quicker I want them in the net. Spots, I just play the power surges.

I hear you brother. I had a root canal and crown a couple years ago. I had visions of the me drilling out broken screws and plugs out of a jet engine. Price of having plenty of birthdays.

Welcome back.

Excellent

Koz, that lizard pictured is atleast 10'. You're likely in more danger from the wasp in those trees. I've handed out Sting Eze there on several trips. One old boy got stung 11 times.

Those Ocmulgee bass will bite at night. Just mind the big aquatic lizards.

Excellent.

Good. Don't worry, if it made it to your bladder it'll come on out. Your ureter is much smaller than your urethra. I wish I had no knowledge of such things.

Excellent . Great pic.

I've pass some after a few hours of discomfort and had a 6mm take two excruciating weeks, but most take 2-5 days. The Flomax helps me pass them and my prostate is intact and normal. I believe it helps dilate all the plumbing. I only take it when I have a stone tearing it's way through. The Azo will help with the damage the stone does to your kidney, ureter, and urethra.

Been there and done that over 60 times, passed them all. Several were 6 - 7mm boulders. Azo & Flomax really help me pass them. A hot tub can give you some relief from the pain.

Excellent

Could you send us a Pic? An 11.4 Spot would fed myself, the wife, and my fish loving Dachshund.

When the conditions call for a HBF, I'm throwing it.

That's one of those special days we all long for.

As a kid I loved the Sun and run around like a shirtless wild heathen no matter the temperature. I was one dark brown white boy and I believed I drew power from the Sun like Superman. At 16 I started working a public job and dating my girlfriend(now wife), so I started wearing shirts more often. Jump 8 years in time, I was a Jet engine mechanic that worked night shift and fished or bowfished most off nights. Now 51, if it's 85 and full Sun I'm cooking. Summertime is all nighttime fishing for this old boy. Coworkers started accusing me of being a vampire.😂

Bass, just like deer, do not read our rule books. They act like they don't have calendars.

@A-Jay Makes my day seeing your girl out on the water with you.

Forgot about my 300 Calcutta Conquest MD

Saved a beast of a Pike. Very nice.

6 or 7 big rigs. Rods are Megabass Orochi, Daiwa DX and one old heavy medium fast white rod I use for medium sized topwater baits(can't remember the maker, but once hooked they're getting netted). Tatula 300, Scorpion 300, Tranx 300 & 400 and an old Lew's 300 Super Duty. Don't follow my lead, you will suffer.🤣

@A-Jay Did you mean 6,000 RPM's?

I have a Baby Possum that's about to get wet for the first time soon.
