I fish heavily pressured, suburban ponds in Michigan. The fish just don't get as big. I saw someone else in this thread asking about weight vs length, and it's because of this that I prefer length. Makes me feel better about myself.

Caught my PB largemouth last June on a T-rigged Green Pumpkin 4" Yum Dinger. She was 22 inches long and weighed 4.29 lbs.

Why does it make a better looking boat than a truck?

Got in an order of soft plastics from one of my favorite small time bait makers.

Anyone one of you guys who launch and fish from proper bass boats. I discovered that while I'm an old hand with paddles or oars, trying to steer with an outboard has me literally going in circles.

I discovered today that I own 12 John Denver albums on vinyl. I honestly didn't know I was that big a fan.

Awesome fish! Congrats!!

Finally almost settled into our new apartment. Got around to getting almost all the books on shelves.

I've never used it, but I don't really think I care one way or another. If it's not having a negative impact on fish populations, I'm happy people can enjoy fishing using it. I prefer not to. (I think. Like I said, I've never actually used it.) But I don't want another screen in my life, especially not when I'm outdoors enjoying creation. I'm a fish and let fish kinda guy.

My opportunities to go bass fishing have been rare and difficult. Water is low, everything is changing, fish are acting different, and I haven't had the time to invest on the water figuring them out. But I did manage a very nice pike last night.

Praying for you today.

Managed to grab a couple hours at the pond today. Only caught one bass on my last cast, but it felt good get my hook into a fish again.

Haven't been fishing in what feels like ages. I think it's technically been something like a week. I just haven't had the energy for early mornings lately, and no time for evenings after work. Sure is great to see everyone else's fish though.

This last week has been a bit slow. I haven't been able to make it out onto the water for any longer than an hour at a time, and haven't caught anything substantial. I did get jump scared by a raccoon who snuck up behind me, and stood up with his front paws on my leg like he was begging for snacks or something. I would have taken a picture, but I shouted because I was startled which in turn startled him, and he waddled away in disgust. 😆 Anyways, here are this week's dinks:
