An $11,000 bare bones fishing kayak
At My age, prefer to sit up much higher. It's definitely a very nice light package though and carbon fiber is very robust.

hypothetical FIRST-DATE question.
I'm an old school older guy. Was mainly looking for a woman that could cook and looked good doing so. ? I paided for everything each time we went out and never payed attention to what she ordered, really didn't care. Oh, been married since 1986.

Learned something today.
Been fishing for many years and after watching MANY fishing videos today, I've realized that what I always thought was right, was actually wrong. ? Love throwing Spinnerbaits and swim baits on an underspin. Most of the lakes I fish are gin clear so always thought gold blades were the ticket but every video today recommended the opposite. Gold for overcast, dingy water. Silver for sunny clear water. Yes, still caught fish but how many more could I have caught following the recommendations of the authors of all these videos. What's your experience regarding blade color?

Finally got on a good one
Nice catch ?

Fishing as Therapy.
Praying for your mom. Fishing is a cure all, physically and emotionally. Go for fun, go for solice, go to catch, however your feeling at that moment. I go several times per week because I don't feel like unloading the boat ?.

Old Cars
Ha Ha, did much of the same. Forgot about the 'ole Holly dual feed double pumper. Fuel economy was never a consideration back then.

Old Cars
Had to do a double take , what a beaut ? My very first car was a 1970 Nova with a 307. I jacked it up, installed headers and of course Cragars. Lol Never won a race with that car.

Why Buying Hundreds of Lures is a Good Thing
Yep, I've got over a hundred and throw 5 everytime I go out....... what's up with that? Well we as fisherman always want to improve and the wallet is the first to succumb to this desire ?

Casting Form
It really depends, sometimes I want little splash so I underhand. Sometimes it's a very long 2-handed cast. And sometimes I'm fishing with a buddy that forces me to backhand cast all day. idk

I searched my memory but I think I just caught my first spinnerbait bass today.
Lots of praise for Spinnerbaits and for good reason. Each year I'd say that 75% of the fish I catch are on Spinnerbaits. Has been my #1 bait for many years.

Broncos
Both teams are actually disappointing. Looks as though Matty ice is washed as well.

This is how to handle it
Bass love docks and I love skipping docks but if the residents are occuping their dock, I simply avoid that dock and move to next one. I never waste my time with " Karen's " but find the various videos entertaining. Wife's favorite song......God is great, beer is good and people are crazy. ?

you keep cash in your wallet?
Debit card 99% of the time. Haven't had a credit card in many years. Oh and yes, always have a small amount of cash on me at all times

Between the lines
It actually goes into the next day for me, seriously. Feel like I'm drinking coffee on a wake board....... it's not funny.

7' vs 7'3 vs 7'6
I keep all my rods in the 6'6 - 6'10 range. I'm much more accurate with shorter rods and have not been handicapped....... just call it personal preference ?

Unsecured guns
Carry all the time and have a registered pistol in every vehicle, consealed....... yes, have a permit. Leaving a firearm on the back of a toilet is unimaginable and very irresponsible.

The girth on this fish is insane. The girth on this fish is insane.

Zoom fluke
Flukes can trigger strikes when nothing else can , it's the darting action that begs for investigation. Lol I have one tied on most of the time. Plus they skip better than any bait I throw. I throw them along grass lines, in grass, under docks, shallow water in the morning and let them fall deep at times. They're more versatile than you may think.
