IYAOYAS

Stone Cold in the lead. Like I said in the fantasy thread. Never bet against a professional gambler!

If thats the case im the most organized fisherman alive!

No offense taken. Everybody learns different. For me youtube is a gold mine being as im a very visual learner. Good luck on your quest!

Youtube has plenty of videos by pros who give some pretty good info on catching big bass if you don't really want to spend any money.

Kyoyah Fujita was the only one that said anything about not having FFS at the weigh in yesterday. He said he couldn't find the fish without it.(Or at least that's what I think he said with his accent he's very hard to understand)

For calmer water try a zoom ultra vibe speed worm texas rigged weightless with a 3/0 hook(You can also do this with a magnum speed worm but upsize the hook to a 4/0). Bonus points if you can find a submerged grass bed to drag it over. Rig the point of the tail facing down towards the shank of the hook and drag it just fast enough to keep it on the surface, and watch the magic happen.

Dicks has decided to cater to the soccer mom crowd exclusively is what I was told by the manager when I asked about it after they removed everything to do with hunting and fishing in my local store.

My state gun forum that I belong to has made AI posts an offense worth being banned.

Only if one of their sponsors releases a BFS setup that they really wanna push for advertising. Other than that fairy wands it is.

I got a chance a good while back to share a meal with Michael Iconelli(some of you might know him) at the time I didn't have my boat, just my kayaks. Here is what he told me about kayak fishing. Tackle is a luxury so at the least carry enough to cover the whole water column from topwater to bottom and you will be just fine.

He really let me down last year. Him and Kennedy.

Every time I have 4 or 5 guys in the top 5 or ten after day 1, I end up losing my hind parts by the end. lol

This is why I hit the brakes on Gman for G-ville. Also Hank Cherry had surgery and he said his one hand is still lagging behind and for that reason I didn't pick him either.

With the recent weather events here in the south I feel like I may never see the lake again. I wish it would at least warm up enough to be able to get the boat out of the driveway. I can fish in the cold unless I can't get to the water. lol

GET UP! Make you a steaming hot cup of coffee and let's get ready! It's finally here! T minus 24 minutes and counting. LETS DO THIS!

If I tried to count all my lures I'd be 75 before I could hit the water again and I'm only 50. I know for a fact I have 100+ jerkbaits because my wife counted them while I was sorting them on the deck of the boat one day in the garage and she let me know.(never doing THAT again)

#10 Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Power Swivel. Rated to 35#

I bought a Big Craw at the flea market one time(Still have it) It is the only one I've ever seen.

Anybody wanna take bets on where Jacob wheeler finishes? I'll give ya good odds! 😂😂😂

World Bass Enterprises is hosting a 4day tournament this fall with the top 25 from both MLF and BASS to complete for a 1.25 million dollar payout for the winner. What are your thoughts? Is this exactly what pro fishing needs? Is it unnecessary glitz and glamour? Personally I think this is a great thing and I would like to see more of this!

I grew up on Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Still love them. Some of the westerns from the 90s and early 00s are great too. Tombstone, Young guns and The Unforgiven. Also for any fans of westerns might I suggest watching "Hell on wheels" It's a show based on the railroad expansion across the west and it is SOOOOOO good.

Zoom Lizard or a 6th sense Wallhalla

The fish around here don't read the rule books evidently. I have a small horsepower restricted lake I fish where a popper will work year round. December year before last I caught 5 or six 2 pounders crash the surface in 3 feet of water on a popper. Water temp was low 40s and outside temp was in the 30s.

I go to fishing shows because I like to jaw jack with other people who love fishing and my house has 1 fishing fan in it. Being retired I don't socialize in public much.

I want that basspuzzle grasspiece. They look amazing in the water!
