@Jar11591 between you posting, the darkness of the photo, the clouds overhead, and what you are wearing, I didn't even have to guess what you caught the fish on. Lol. Nice fish man. Hope you're able to get some good trips in before winter takes hold

@Team9nine, thank you. You type and think better than me

@ElGuapo928 what is staying home and studying going to do for us? 😁

That’s the answer right there. If throwing a frog, wait till you feel them pulling on the frog. Feel, not sight. Of course otherwise you can just be me for the past two years and throw a topwater and not feel anything until you throw something that isn’t a topwater, lol. I self admit I spend too much time throwing spinnerbait, t-rig, and jig @Aaron_H Slaunch donkey

Also more states should look at what Texas Parks and Wildlife is doing if they care about bass fishing. Not all states will. Many don’t have the same claim to fame as Texas does, too. I will never take for granted that I live in a state that cares so much about bass fishing. I did reach a decision point in my life of where to go next and I did select Texas so it’s not by chance.

I’m in the gym now too @A-Jay Have to look good for the fish, otherwise why would they want to get in the boat with us? Right? I think that’s how it works

@12poundbass any day I am not fishing is a slow day

Holy cow y’all are toasting this guy 😂

We know catch and release has a level of mortality associated with it. Once an angler becomes proficient with FFS, we’ve seen on tournament circuits and otherwise that the angler will catch more fish. There are a couple different things that I’m interested to see if they manifest. The world is driven by incentives and if it gets harder to catch fish and larger ones on some bodies of water, marginally, more anglers will be driven away from the body of water. Like a market, demand and supply will balance out and there will be a new equilibrium created after the invent of FFS. There’s also some cover in lakes that makes FFS difficult to utilize. Will more fish reproduce in areas that are harder for anglers to reach or dissect? It’ll be really interesting. I’m just along for the ride

Because they can’t walk

Well I’m 23 and hopefully I’ll be around to see how this all plays out. Should be pretty interesting. In the meantime as long as I’m catching good fish here and there, it’s all good. I still like being on big public lakes because it’s like a giant puzzle to me. I’ll do without FFS and I look forward to seeing what happens in the future!

@A-Jay we will keep trying!

The voice in your head is whispering "Stillhouse.... stillhouse" I can get my old kayak set for you and those spinnerbaits I owe you Jan-Feb time frame. Just let me know! No need to respond here in public

When I came here to TX, it became immediately apparent to me that a spook is something of a more prominent bait here than in other places I’ve been. So I got several. I’ve used them sparingly. No strikes yet, but they will produce at some point.

Spook? Y’all throw those a lot on the Tn River?

@TnRiver46 throw a frog out in the middle of the channel. They’ll never know what hit them #terriblefishingadvice Y’all are hilarious the way you keep harassing him over spinnerbaits ??

I think this is one of the coolest catches that I’ve seen

@TnRiver46 ”They love the froggy”

@FishTank absolutely, you gotta have backups ?

Fantastic. Really nice mod That’s a picasso?

Put Sampo swivels on your slow moving Colorado’s. I like #2 and #3. #3 if a larger bait. I have not used #4 yet but for 1oz and over, it’s likely I will use that. Sampo’s set the standard for smooth rotating blades and durable hardware

My confidence is in pure painted black but I’ve had plenty of other colors work fine too.

Woah @steve carpenter I went to your profile and saw you used to fish Stillhouse? PM sent to you sir

@A-Jay those tips on the elbows and glutes was revolutionary. Thank you very much sir

That’s awesome
