Way to go Paula! Craw too!

I'm tired just thinkin bout catching that many bass! Glad you had a fun day. I'm hoping to go in the morning. Maybe I'll find a few...

Russ, this is for you...due to the current elder abuse I've had doled on me, I'm currently accepting applications for the position of "eldest" son. Here are the requirements..... Never abuse your new "mom" ok, some but not too much. You must be slightly conceited. Remember, I live in KY so you must be at least 12 yrs younger (this is debatable in some counties) than me (I'm 47) You must give GREAT gifts for MOM. You MUST be proud of your heritage (you would have to convert to Kentuckyism) at least occasionally I might loan you money, I might loan you my new truck, You may always return home, I'll take you fishing but never, NEVER ask to borrow my boat! To do so, you will forever endure the hex of never catching as many fish as MOM. Ok, I'm not gonna be picky the application process is now open to all.....the reunion is July 14th :

Oh so true!

Hey Catt, do the boats draw rods to see which one gets to go fishing? Personally, I fish 90% with someone out of my 1995 Javelin w/115 Evinrude. It's the only new boat I've ever bought. She may be old but she's (me) still catching fish.

Guys, please forgive my son...He's had a problem since he was a child. He gets too close to a Snickers Bar and the hallucinations begin. They get worse and worse for days. Till all the chocolate scent is out of his system. He's even worse when he makes MOM's chocolate oatmeal cookies. Then he's able to convince himself that he's NOT got KENTUCKY in his blood. No son, I'm very sorry to have to be the one to break it to you...You did NOT teach me to fish. Now, come back to reality Cause we all know you wouldn't use plastics....it's ok, I still love you

Sounds almost like "squirrel" material. Where was I with my camera? Just kidding. Congrats on the new boat! If you decide to come on over to Ky Lake, let me know. I'd be glad to show you some of my favorite spots in Blood River.

Hey Muddy, What a great idea! But if BPS and Cabelas don't have it, chances are he won't either. No more than he's home, chances are he'll just have to press his luck.

That's because "Mother knows best" silly boy. 8-) Avid, you are a very wise man! Maybe it's my very advanced age...You know -hearing goes, can't remember much....Ahhhhh, maybe I do remember something J said, "Mom, plastics suck" "I can't catch a thing on them" "They're for sissy's"! I sure DON'T remember a thing being said about wacky rigging a senko!!!

Kentucky Lake, usually between Paris Landing Tn and Aurora Ky. KY lake is so big. Blood River is my front yard (one of the larger bays on KY lake). I love it! Still trying to figure out why I'm so fortunate.

Actually, it hit his side. He had a shirt on, thank goodness! The hook didn't go into him but hey, I would have removed it for him if it would have.... What part of KY are you going to? I'm usually not too dangerous but I am a nurse :

We went out early this morning to get a jump on the "squirrels" (jet ski's & pleasure boats). We went over to the LBL side with less traffic. We caught some nice bass. All of Joe's were smallie's, I had 1 smallie (the last fish I caught and the biggest) 3lbs. Not huge but all but 2 we caught today were 2-3 lbs. He was fishing a c-rig/lizard. I was using a senko (except on the smallie). Great day on the water!

Reason number 821 NOT to go fishing with me...I'm dangerous While out today, of course, I caught a dead branch on a tree down in the water. I was using a senko and couldn't get the hook free...Joe tried, no luck, he pulled harder, no luck. He finally yanked. Look out! The hook came free(minus the senko). The line and hook made a wicked sound as it came flying towards us. This is what a 5/0 gammy looks like without the hook......... He didn't even cuss, much

CJ, I'm waiting on you! I'm ready when you are!

I think all you need to grab you Pole(s) and go fishing ........ or something : deb

Way to go! I've been looking for one of those for the last two weeks. Now you done went and found it

We went out early yesterday before most of the "squirrels" hit the lake. The bass bite was slow so I decided to try something different...On my second cast, I caught this, not big but a fish none the less. Ok, so it isn't exactly a "chatter" bait. I was afraid to use the "S" word (afraid I'd get rotten tomatoes thrown at me) but I can guarantee I was chattering the whole time I was fishing Actually to show how stupid I am, I didn't even know what a "S" bait was...Went looking for some...then realized I had some in the boat that an exboyfiend had given me 4 yrs ago. DUH! I was doubtful that I could cast it without any weight but the RevoS came in like a champ! Anyway, went on to catch 4 more, none big but they were fun. Joe caught a nice "rock" bass on a c-rig lizard. Not his biggest but nice anyway... The "squirrels" began to take over the lake but I'll post later on that. We ended the morning with me catching 10, Joe 4. We've got to find bigger fish....Maybe next time!!!

I just almost spit coffee all over the computer screen. I'll pass the message along... Thanks for the early morning laugh!

Great pics! One day, I WILL catch a peacock! I hope, I pray...glad you had good trip and a safe return!

Yes, so many automobiles and snowbirds there's no room for Hillbillies on horses or Wildcats either! Besides, remember I rode with you to Miami, that was enough terror for me! I was as scarred as I was at 16 watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre! I'm still having nightmares.... At 6'3 and 245lb you seem to have done ok on my cooking! But I'll be sure and NOT cook anything when or if you ever visit. Remember, I'm 47 and enjoying life, you're just a little over 17 yrs younger. If you're lucky you'll get to be old like me. Hope I live long enough to see you hit 40 or better yet, 50. But keep it up and you won't see 30! I've just come up with the PERFECT plan... Take lard to Florida, whoop oldest son bass fishing, take lots of pics to prove it, post them all on br but don't worry, you won't have to withstand the humiliation, cause I'm gonna put your size 14 feet in the lard then push you into the canal for the gators to snack on. Although they might turn you down you're so full of s---, I mean bull. Me and Jake will stand on the bank and take pics! IF you manage to crawl out, we'll bring you back to KY and whoop you all over again, this time it'll be on MY turf! Bring it on!

I thought you would be! Actually, like most fisher(men), I like to brag just a little. Maybe I'm just real hopefull for a better few yrs than what we've had. You know, KY fans EXPECT a championship at least 4 out of 5 seasons! Guess, I'll bleed blue till the day I die! Oh well, we've all got our hang-ups. Could be worse, I could be a Louisville fan. NOT!!!!!

WPD, here's a dismantle to your dismantling... 1. 2 hr drive to Nashville, 2+ hr wait at airport, 2 hr flight to West Palm, 17 hrs in WP traffic. Nope not worth it, cuts into my fishing time way too much. 2. Better cook, I don't think so. That's why we went out to eat all the time we were there. Plus there's the frequent calls "Mom, how do I cook ???" by the way, is there a Chic-fil-a close to your new apt? 3. Jake is a lover not a fighter, at least with most people. I don't advise strangers to try it! 4. I'm glad you don't want to kill me, I have enough enemies. But remember, I brought you into this world and by law, I can take you out. 5. Outfish me?? I've got pics to prove mine! As for who's the boss, women have forever been letting men think they're the boss but we all know who rule the roost but I'll be more than happy to refresh your memory when I get down there as to who catches more and bigger Bass!

As women age, some cruel things happen. Usually 1st it's a few gray hairs that turn to many. Lines and wrinkles appear. Her arms get too short to read the paper! Little aches become big pains. "Wiggle & Giggle" get renamed "Saggy & Baggy" or even "Heckle & Jeckle". She realizes it feels good to be standing in the walk-in freezer at the grocery. She starts to notice facial hair, it's not enough that she has to shave her legs and armpits daily (well, some days) but then to wake up and find this.......a full fledged handlebar mustache...... Now what in the world are you supposed to do with this????????? and it had to happen on one of the two nights a week that my husband gets to sleep with me. You can see, he's not too happy! Maybe it's because it looks like his

Catt, NOW I'm MAD, them thar's fiht'n words! > I can feel my eyes gettn GREENER ( as they do when I'm angry) and a few other times, I'm told Yes, I admit MY Cats, haven't had the usual kickn't season's lately but.....LOOK OUT, we're coming back, like we've been backed in a corner. Claws and teeth ready, and with a GOOD coach to boot!

Wonder if Hector has a cousin, Herman in Ky? Maybe we could work out the same sort of arrangement. By the way Avid, no winner yet, but I'm still trying!!!
