Texas Flood

If im on the boat with my gear than I'll stay out there regardless. Now if im bank fishing, you aint ever gonna see this fat boy run faster to the truck.

Lews Speed Spool LFS. Best reel Ive used under $100. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lews_Speed_Spool_LFS_Casting_Reel/descpage-LSSCS.html

I actually like gators(my parents had a Caiman when I was a kid) but I prefer to have a 10 finger option instead of 5 for picking my nose.

It's a great photo until you realize there's 47 gators underneath.

I smoke both. Ohhhhh you were talking about the underwater ones.

All their baits seem to tear easier than before. Fished a tournament both days this weekend and I went through 3 bags of sweet beavers. I love RI baits but it might be time to find something more durable.

I haven’t had issues from the guides but I just switched brands because I started getting fray lines by the knot(even lost a fish) I was using FC Sniper but I’m using Tatsu. It’s expensive but I fished a two day tournament this weekend and was getting nervous.

I always thought The Carpenters cover of “Thong Song” by Sisqo was awesome.

Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver. I’ve been using them for the last 15 years even though I hate how they only last after a couple fish. The plus side to them shredding like cheese is they make great jig trailers. I started using the Berkley Maxscent Creature Hawg and I’m liking it so far. I don’t know if the scent stuff works but it does seem like the bass hold on a little bit longer. Colors would be black/red(dirty) green pumpkin/chart(stained) sprayed grass(clear)

Best - roll cast accuracy. I’ve been practicing for a long time Worst - patience. I haven’t been practicing for a long time

I use the Stealth Feider for casting at or around grass and brush piles. Then it’s the Cage Feider for flipping around docks and wood.

My favorite jigs. Tungsten, smaller/slimmer head and they have the best bait keeper. I can live with the price but I usually try to wait until someone has them on sale.

It sure seems that way. It’s funny, most of my reels are JDM Daiwa’s and I absolutely love them. Figure it out America!

Lew’s LFS for sure. Every domestic Daiwa I’ve had has broke. Now if you’re ok with a JDM, then I say Daiwa all the way.

Happy to see Feider has been fishing better lately.

Only had two make the weekend and neither are fishing tomorrow.

400hp motor? Holy smokes!

It's my favorite jig! It does really well around laydowns and brushpiles. I dont have alot of rock in my lake so I cant say how it does around that. It's also a good jig to fish and skip around docks.

Are Walters and Hackney not fishing? They both are at 0-0 for weight.

My HS girlfriend use to catch over 20" crappie all the time. But she's from Canada, so you wouldn't know her.

1.Jig 2.T-Rig 3.Jerkbait This was tougher than I thought it would be. It was a coin flip between a jerk and a chatterbait

I’m intrigued

I agree with most of these except for the eye and sun protection. Like @gimruis said, we're all adults and can make our own decisions. If you wanna get a hook to the eye or sunburn, be my guest but I wont make someone put that stuff on.

Yeah. NW Iowa has gotten hammered. Where Im at isnt bad but the water levels are as high as its been in years.
