Latest,Rods & Reels Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Recently, fished using the Royale Legend II with BFS ultralight spool using 10lb braid on the BPS Crappie Max lite casting rod casting the Beetle Spin 1/16oz and Rebel Teeny Wee Craw at 1/10oz. Casting was approximately 40 to 60 ft. sometimes 70ft with mild to moderate winds. This is purely my estimate of the distance. The reel will cast these lures. Had one minor Birds nests that was quickly resolved. Used KVD line conditioner. Caught 2 dinks releasing them wishing them good luck out there. My overall grade: B minus. Good Fishing

Latest,Rods & Reels Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Got the reel yesterday. Fits in my palm. Put it on the BPS Crappie Max rated 2-8 line and 1/16oz - 1/4oz lures. Right in the wheelhouse. Ultralight spool is just that -- very shallow. Did notice a little play once installed. AI says once the regular spool is taken out and replaced with the shallow spool approx. weight of the reel 6.75oz. Weather is in the mid 70's here and have a couple of golf outings this week. Next week all free time given to Bass fishing. Confident it will work with 1/16oz. and other opinions are always welcome. Good Fishing

Giant LMB
The Catch: On New Year’s Eve in 1992, Anthony Denny of Washington, Mississippi, was fishing from a jon boat in Natchez State Park Lake, a public lake near Natchez. He was casting into shallow water — about 3 feet deep — when he hooked the massive bass. The fish weighed 18.15 pounds, setting a new state record that still stands today. Source: Micro Soft Co-Pilot

Hypothetical question
If he has a good job he likes or is content with, he should make every attempt to keep a federal government job/s that can be very difficult to get. The pay is good with outstanding benefits. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. For the record: I'm for opening the govt. NOW.

Scary statistic - Half of all fishermen do NOT renew their licenses.
In my neck of the woods years ago, I could go to my favorite lake/reservoir and observe young Bass anglers on the bank like me fishing for the Bass. The fishing pressure was heavy --bank anglers and boaters. Today it's rare to see a young man bass fishing on the same bank I'm fishing. Unless one has access to some managed private waters fishing, he will be challenged by public waters to catch the LMB fish. Put me down that fishing pressure is a very big reason folks move on. I'm a big advocate for aggressive stocking of Northern strain bass which are easier to catch than the Florida strain Bass. And I don't think I see as many young bass anglers here on Bass Resource as in the past. My take is purely anecdotal. Good Fishing Smart Bass?
