How I learned to love punching
i just started punching last season. i got a few hits. and it was FUUUNNNN! i cant blend it with frogging, because i think frogging is a more of a distance game. i pitch it to the mat. punching, i am on top of the mat, and our mats are not the kind you can frog. i grows tall. i start with a 1oz. i like to use a light a weight as i need to get thru. and about getting thru. there is a weird elation when the bait goes thru. it feels like success already. i love it when it drops thru. and the anticipation. last season i set the hook so hard, my body slipped and i went full horizontal with my body. luckily i fell in my kayak.

My wife thought I bought a small white fuzzy chicken.
I was ordering, and she asks, “what are you buying?” “a Bantam” ”a chicken?” ”no, not a chicken. A fishing reel called a Bantam” (silence) haha. Just kidding. I unloaded all my bow hunting gear, because that stuff is behind me. I’m done hunting. Figured I’ll buy something I’ll use. I can’t wait to pit it against a bottom feeding bass. the chicken:

What critter causes this?
love the use of "orifice". hahah..(my brain is still in 4th grade) it is amazing that there isn't enough water pressure to blow out a bug turd.

my friend bought a Van Staal reel and took it to Oklahoma last year. it was heavy, and awful. you had to manually flip the bail open and closed. it wasnt smooth at all.

Revo SX Gen 5 or Tatula 150
i can only skip on one reel of mine. my Daiwa SV TW. i think it is the SV spool that is helping me. i tried on my Curado MGL 150, and it was a big NOPE.

Are they spraying the aquatic plants in Clearlake?
i remember from high school biology that plants produce oxygen and animals breath oxygen. this cant be a good idea.

What do you want your rod to look like?

Eating while fishing
my friend has since moved to Oregon, but he used to always stop at this Tamale place in my city. he buys bags of them to hand out on our kayaks. the place opens at 4:30 AM to load all their food trucks and carts (that head out into neighboring cities). all the Wine workers line up at 5:00 am to buy food. i always tell myself to decline a tamale, or two..but i cant. and there is nothing messier than eating a tamale on a kayak, without utensils. and there is the husks everywhere. i just toss them in the back and at end of day, they are dry. haha... my PFD is stained from tamale.

the free-rig. i think i understand.
no kidding?!! Banchan!!

the free-rig. i think i understand.
@LrgmouthShad about nailed it on #1, i had the opp to watch the presentation in gin-clear waters. a bullet weight has the entire length of the sinker providing friction on the line. a free rig only has a tiny thin wire hoop and it has LESS friction on the line. so it separates from the bait easily. it doesnt drop off the bait effortlessly, but it does drop better. the bait then gets to drift down in any direction.
