it's mind boggling to me sometimes to watch it, I back my buddy's boat down when we go. it's not that hard. just gotta think in triangles.

Kage 7'3" MHF All-Around rod Kage 150 SV TW 8.1 gear Been waiting to put these together for months

Got a few in before a dude in a bass cat rolled over me. I have stuff to do and they quit biting so oh well

i'll have a couple nice things to post here soon

there's not much that doesn't work down here

inspired by bob ross Im finding that the skill I've improved the most this year is attitude

I've had two specific incidents, neither of which i'm certain were bass. If they were, almost guaranteed new PB. Can't have great times without some rough ones. I'm waiting on the good times right now. They're just around the corner

I do not regret to inform you that I have been fishing regularly. I'm averaging about 10 fish a day, just really lacking in size at the moment. I've hooked some heavies but landing them has been a different matter. That will change soon enough, that's just how life works

absolutely love when they're stalking it and you can tell

I love how everyone casually glosses over the cattle prod I love the walking bait. It's probably my most thrown lure this year

Got out on a boat with a friend of mine again, our second time fishing together. I enjoy it a lot cause he fishes like I do, lots of different approaches and minimal electronics. Picked up where @LrgmouthShad left off with making me appreciate the art of the spinnerbait. It was a rough rough day on roberts, south winds 30mph gusting higher. We started to cross the lake and decided to turn around and fish the marina. We didn't land any giants but we each caught probably 4-5 bass. Everything caught on a watermelon red purple power worm. Just a good morning. I am so thankful for the trips I get on that boat. Had some stuff to do early afternoon, made it back out to my usual bank spot around 4pm. I was burning a red eye shad along the bank and again, I hooked something absolutely gigantic. I had absolutely no control over it. It just took line and took line. I finally put my thumb down a little bit when I started to see more backing line than braid on my spool. The hook immediately popped out and my lure was free. I'm almost certain that was a large gar, because I caught a spotted gar a few minutes later. Also just the way it fought, plus how easily that hook popped out. I've felt that same sensation down below the dam a bunch, it's just been a while. This will not haunt me since I am 95% sure it was not a bass, and I got my lure back (it was claimed by Log™ mere moments later but I can live with that). Just a cool experience and good fish story. Anyway so I kept fishing and caught a handful of small bass on a war eagle spinnerbait. Then I went home and ate a whole pizza and passed out. The end.

I'm guessing the investigations are different since survival outcomes, real and potential consequences are all different between the two incidents

That's honestly a relief. It looked a little weathered on second glance but still kind of a chilling sight. Thanks for looking into it

Absolutely horrifying stuff. The slash across the drivers seat of the bass boat with the outboard detached is a chilling sight. I don't see how MLF doesn't impose some changes after this. I think it's possible there may be legal actions somewhere in the mix. No matter what, everyone loses. Only change and possible justice can be served. Things are different forever. Horrible.

This fish hung me up in two branches

I caught a few Littles. But an experience that will haunt me for a while. The heaviest fish I've hooked all year lodged a barb in a log and I couldn't get it loose. Snap. I'm not sure what it was - i was burning a red eye shad and had that distinct feeling. The way it pulled drag makes me think flathead or gar. If that was a bass, it was easily a DD. Ugh.

Lol! They were coming right at me!! Nah I saw them up the trail about 30 yards and just turned around

Absolutely! But being prosecuted for hunting within state park borders is less delicious lol

I got run off by feral hogs this morning

Yes my country band plays that tune lol

Work work work. 750 miles driven, 58 hours billed. Five days. Armadillo by morning or whatever the song is

I've had this rotor issue with all of my fuegos, they can be a little funky with that. It's worse on some than others, but they all do it. Even the regals do it a little bit. So many possible causes for OP's problem
