What hook is that for that hula grub?

I’m gonna upgrade paddles soon. After holidays. im gonna cut my old carbon fiber paddle up and make lightweight “tactical” nets. Cuz I can:). My old paddle has a crack.

i LOVE my net. just some random net, i extended the handle on with a piece of scrap aluminum tubing. it has saved me a few fish, boatside. it has lost a few as well, when i inadvertently get all goofy sideways with net and knock lure loose. on a kayak, it allows me to settle my mind and breathing by letting the fish sit in the net, in the water. just that few seconds is good for me. and the fish stays wet. here: right or wrong. i think if i had hook in my mouth/jaw. some giant pulling me up into the air would hurt like a B!! i dont know how the fish is hooked. gullet? dunno. i just think FOR ME, lifting it to me in a net is better for everything involved. plus i seem to use the net to fish my cap out of the water more often than what i might consider normal.

man. i used to kill the white bass on Elephant Butte with a 1/4oz Rattletrap. ( i think it was a rattletrap). Right now i am all LV500. i like how heavy it is and how it sinks so fast. ripping it thru grass has been kinda fun.

Jigs and Crankbaits. and if we can consider Skipping a technique. yea. i want to get rockstar good at skipping.

yo Jimmy. welcome from Sonoma County.

dang. i just wanted to commend you on the fine use of "Chimera"! fantastic.

thinking more about this. if you happen to be a fishing "influencer". influence positively.

I’m actually not into the scantily clad fisher person fish videos either. Not that I have not peeked. But those are altogether a different category. Jus saying

i like a fisherman that shows the bad stuff along with the good. backlashes, skunks..i still learn

this is not "one-size" fits all. when i grab a combo from my friend who switched to all lefty stuff for medical reasons. he blew out an elbow or something. it feels so weird cranking a baitcaster with my left hand. it's like the handle is oblong or something. i crank with (i like your description @Dash Riprock) the same jerky motion. hahha..it takes a minute but i get it down. this is on topic i'll do it my way. cuz it's my way. there is no right/wrong here. i couldnt stomach the $$ to swap now anyways. i have never swapped sides on a spinning reel. easy enough to do. i bet it still feels awkward.

I dont know about this. when I first got into kayak fishing, my buddy would absolutely destroy me with his Walmart Kayak. 10 to 1 on some days.

I am in your camp. all the leaves are coming from my neighbors houses. I do understand the love for SHADE, but the fall puke is too much. grrrr... rain is coming tonight. I got up there and double checked my leaf count, cleaned again. I am ready. bring it clouds. bring it. "set-serve". "SPIKE!" by MidwestBassAttack. hahahhaha..

that first Matrix where the camera panned out from the cops and right onto Trinitys...err...onto Trinity was life changing.

ahhahahhaha...killing me.

Haha. Which hatchet? Something “boutiquey “ like a Gransfor Bruks? 99% sure my wife is getting me LLBean slippers. She’s tired of me shoehorning my big feet into her tiny slippers.

my wife and i dont typically put much into the Holiday gifting event. we tend to just buy what we want anyways, within reason. This year i paid a kid some cold hard cash to paint a portrait of my wife's dog. cool dog, and the kid did a pretty good job. has that modern art vibe, while still being my dog. this could go one of two ways...really well, or horribly wrong. hahaha... i was gonna give her a custom bobble head of myself, but figured i should get a better sleeping couch first.

I bet he gets better mpg in his configuration.

i use a Sierra 733 for those applications. i also use my Phenix Feather 7'1" Heavy for the exact same thing. reaction baits, and bottom contact are with me all the time. i need two bare minimum.

day: SAVED!

i know a younger fisherman that puts a Native Max 10 kayak into the back of his Prius. getting 50mpg he fishes all the bodies of water. i see his car at lakes all over. it barely fits and he has to tie down the rear hatch. there are lakes i want to try by the gas price gives me pause.

a carp is a tough fish. freakishly tough.

GREAT insight. i added a work/life balance discussion into my interview. its important to me, so i wanted the potential hires to know that is how i roll. turnover kills production.

i remember in college learning that pulleys with the cord doubled around multiplied the lifting by 2, but cut the speed by half. so pulleys? or go to harbor freight and get that electric hoist lift thing.

there is that. but i just came off a 2500 mile road trip. tired. why clean truck. two reasons. one, i might be OCD. two. i cant go to work the next day covered in dog hair coming off my truck's interior. i wear a lot of black. while it is so true the cursed leaves will simply fall again, the next day and for sure the next year. it is my cross to bear. well, until i hire a yard guy. my next house purchase, i am going to stand in the yard and do a 360. i am looking for crazy trees from the neighbors.
