Thanks pal, wonder if our drought that only ended today contributed to that. You are right though odd how ours are changing at the same time.

great win.....on to philly

AYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S GET IT MATTY ICE That's what up brother, putting that ball in play. Contact wins in October eta: wow they are breaking it open like a pipe that had built up pressure for hours, and then just burst 2 out Braves as usual

He's always epic in big games.....absolutely incredible catch. He makes it look easy. PAY THAT MAN! If Acuna is hurt, Harper gets it next inning!!!!!!!!??

100%.....been their Achilles heel all year....the K and not being able to hit for contact and work counts. Wright is getting stronger knock on wood

I thought it was gone off the bat. At this rate Wheeler could pitch a complete game. I think Wright is going to have come out after the 7th

These games really test the nerves...dang This is what baseball should look like imho.

I really respect the folks who chase largemouth up north, it really is all relative to your region and the records. A 5lb LGM in many states is equivalent to me catching a 10lb in Alabama. Both require the same skillset, luck, and preparation on the angler's part.

Fished for about 2 hours in between two big storm cells before dinner......took just one rod, and fanny pack with a few chatterbaits. Caught 5....4-1 LGM for a change, all on the MiniMax in Gizzard Shad 3/8th model. Played around with different trailers on this MiniMax, and it's very temperamental to having the proper trailer. It doesn't like anything bigger than 3", and doesn't like a heavy action trailer. Both interfere with it's ability to quickly get back on plane if you wanna call it. Armor Shads were built for these MiniMax models it seems. The most gorgeous tree on this entire lake, absolutely stunning in color

One could make the case Alabama got the best part of that fishless river ? Then again Alabama could have bought the entire panhandle for $1mil in the early 1900s ?

That's incredible, what a fishery that could produce such a bag. Only had one day that could have matched that, and it was with former Bassmaster Classic runner up, Dalton Bobo on Lay Lake.

That's very cool, and I really liked Ian......if he just could have started games in the second inning instead of the first. Admittedly it took some maturation on my part to see the beauty of baseball, and develop a love for the Braves. I've been a heavy fan for 5 or 6 years, but before that had little interest. Ironically now I don't really have any interest in other sports outside of boxing or MMA. It's so nice having a Braves game to look forward to during the summer months especially.

Haha, just bought another 3 MiniMaxs after lunch. The 3/8th in Gizzard Shad has been killing it for me with the fall turnover and threadfin size. One of more under the radar baits for sure. It sells big time though so people just aren't talking about it openly. These are just dynamite baits. The snap needs to be changed on them, as they still pull the big fish like their bigger counterparts.

They really screwed us yesterday with the noon game.....that's the Braves kryptonite this year it seems. This is advantageous for the Braves.

Awesome job Katie loved reading your report! That's exactly what a guy from Alabama imagines Maine looking like. 35 Bass is a ton of fish, that's like a week worth of fishing for me.

I suspect the game is going to be significantly delayed. When it rains where I'm at, ATL is almost always right behind, and radar confirms it. I almost hope they start the game, then it pours enough for the starters to get pulled, and it becomes a bullpen game. We excel in those, and it burns the Philles ace for the series.

Oh yeah, here's the funniest fishing video I've seen recently ?

Some of these folks have epic shacks.....like seriously being in your living room watching football and fishing at the same time. I could do that lol.

I've always wanted one of those Ice fishing shacks.......it's the most redneck thing I've seen up north ?

If you talk to folks who have great success with A-rigs/Umbrella rigs, they'll tell you almost never does the top bait get hit. It's the furthest back, and bottom rigs that get hookups. To this point, adding a hooked bait instead of just standard spinner blades serves no real purpose, and I can see it adding some headaches verses a traditional spinnerblade. As mentioned, live target makes something similar that's almost caught me in the fishing asile at Academy, and then I did the calculus on it. The reason an A rig works is because of it's "spread" and size of that "spread". You can have numerous hooked baits on the bottom. This bait doesn't have a profile or signature larger than a traditional spinnerbait that mimics 2-3 small baitfish, and doesn't allow you to add more actual baited hooks where they'd be in the strike zone.

Truly fascinating stuff. I can see floods being responsible for lots

If I lived up north I'd for sure be using this as an excuse to go fishing for a week or two in Mexico, tell your significant others, AlabamaSpotHunter said TREAT YO SELF!

How do you think most of these old quarries and pits get stocked with Bass? I've heard the eggs of bird feet was more of a myth, but outside of that and human's hand, I have no idea how a pond for example just randomly gets a Bass population.

OP is just basically asking what's your confidence bait to me, I think clarifying that might get you more answers with baits in the reply, however.

I like the middle one the best, great threadfin look
