I don't like it when it gets this hot, but I'm not sure there's enough sweet tea for me to adapt to snowfall measured in FEET, temperatures BELOW zero, and the lakes are FROZEN for half the year. ?

Sorry for your loss @Dominat0r. Cherish those good memories. Sounds like he was a good one. Prayers for your family.

I'll have the Texas toast with a side of 5 lb bass please. ?

Happy birthday!

Nice fish! Sounds like y'all had a great day.

Congratulations! @Pat Brown Awesome fish, man!

ALF has Diawa Fuego spinning reels buy one get one free. Only have the 3000 size left.

I have ordered from them several times, and it’s always been great. Their shipping times have been impressive every time. I have no issues recommending them.

Me backing a boat down the ramp has (at times) provided solid entertainment value, but I feel a lot better about myself after seeing this!

I’ve never tried the 6 in version, but the 4 in (in watermelon) has probably been my #1 lure so far this year.

@LrgmouthShad There’s no escaping the debt to the monkey, my friend.

Very nice, congrats!

I thought about posting a picture of a drum next to my foot for @TnRiver46 & @LrgmouthShad, but decided I did not want to incite @roadwarrior & @ol'crickety.

Sounds like a fantastic day. Nothing like seeing your kids grow and succeed. Congrats!

Prayers for him and the family.

Maybe someday I'll get a chance. I love seeing the pictures of the places you fish. I know it would be awesome, but that's a long way for this southern boy.

Only 4? Look out! That means I only need 4 more 100 bass days to catch up to you! ?

Not a single bass for me on my Monday trip. All I could catch was drum, catfish, and this buffalo. This one was fun on 6 lb line.

@thediscochef That fish has huge, bulging eyes, and a mouth bigger than your fist. Whoever said that was a 2 pounder is crazy.

Yes, ma’am! Congrats!

Glad you're OK, and impressed that you had the fortitude to stick with it. I feel like most people would've given up, but you didn't. These pictures are just...wow. Beautiful spot. 49 fish...wow again.

That is an accurate statement. I'm thankful to get to fish with him. I learn something every time I go with him. He has definitely made me a better fisherman.

I'm late posting, but I was fortunate enough to get to tag along on a fishing trip with @roadwarrior& his friend David (sorry I didn't get his BR screen name) last week. It was a great trip. The day started with a good breakfast, and great conversation. It would've been a good day if it had ended there because I got to meet a new friend, but add beautiful weather, great water, and catching a boatload of fish to that and it became a day I won't soon forget. We started out drifting with minnows, but the drum, sauger, and catfish made us switch to artificials. I tried throwing spinnerbaits, and lipless cranks, but the only thing getting bites were soft plastics. We caught fish on several different varieties, but the Rage Menace was the champ. It didn't matter what color it was. If it was a menace it got bit. Kent caught some on a Rage Bug, and I caught a couple on a brush hog, but the menace showed out all day. Among the three of us we ended up catching 45 fish. Mostly smallmouth, a few largemouth, one spotted bass, one striper, a few white bass, catfish, sauger, and drum. If we had been fishing in a drum tournament I would've gotten a check. ??‍♂️ I didn't end up with many pictures because we were too busy catching fish, and grabbing the net. I'll take that any day though. Here are a few I got. The last one is one that Kent caught. I don't think it was the biggest fish of the day, but I think it was the prettiest fish of the day. A big thanks to Kent & David for letting me tag along. I hope we get to do it again soon!

Congrats on the new PB @ScottW! Great fish.
