No giants but a respectable pile of decent ones from yesterday:

 

 

Big fish are all over the beds at the small public ponds and the lakes are just a little behind.  Hopefully this cold front this week makes things.... interesting 😎

@Woody B, I’d have to guess spot on that one. My favorite distinguishing character for spots is the rows of stippling below the lateral line and that one has some. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it on SMB 

Uh oh.  Fashion Police detects a hole in jeans of the left knee on Jake Brown.  @Pat Brown, being the legal guardian of this minor, I would expect you to address this and hold him accountable.

 

@gimruis, every boy worth his salt should have a hole in his jeans. Otherwise, he's wasting his boyhood.

@ol'crickety - Katie, I use to wear jeans with holes...then I grew up

Truth be told mom won't let him out on the boat with his nice britches on. Sorry guys.  Too many opportunities for treble hooks to ruin perfectly good pants!

Well if that's the case, at least make a concerted effort to keep them out of the photos.  Out of sight, out of mind.

 

A new pair of jeans has been proven to increase your catch rate by at least 17%.  Kind of a like getting a haircut.

Well that explains the lack of action around here lately.  I'll keep this in mind next time we head out!  😎👆🏼

Perhaps the fashion police would like to do a little community outreach and buy Jake a new pair of fishing britches?

I thought you lost funding, officer. Or was that the haircut police? 

It has been scientifically proven that waving around a cereal box badge increases your ridiculousness by 168%.

17%!!! That's my problem, my newest jeans are 9 or 10 years old.

Buddy, I'd pay for your "lack of action" days 🤣

That was the photo police.

 

Haircut and Fashion are still operating on a balanced budget.  For now.

 

Haven't had to issue a haircut citation since January when @Woody B needed one.  And until this recent issue with the Jake Brown jeans, the previous regular violator of the holey jeans was @Team9nine.  His wife made him buy new jeans.  lol

 

"Community outreach" 

 

Lmao that's a good one

Need to reach out to Old Navy and see if they're interested in becoming an endemic sponsor of amateur child bass fishing.  🤔🤔🤔

I agree with mom, never wear nice clothes fishing. One catfish and it’s all over 

I recommend the Fashion and Haircut Police find a more appropriate jurisdiction, such as Senior proms or Celebrity journalism.

My fishing britches are so saggy and stained. It's a good thing I don't photograph them. I'd get a citation for sure.

I repeat my assertion that the best childhoods come with scabs, scrapes, scuffs, and ripped jeans and by ripped jeans, I mean honestly ripped jeans, not those silly, pre-ripped jeans that are "fashionable."

     Is that really a thing? "Pre-ripped jeans"? That's worse than buying faded jeans. Heck, wash um' a couple times and you're there!

     The best jeans are the ones covered with spring babies!

I couldn't believe it either when I saw some for sale.  Apparently its the current younger generation's definition of fashion.

     Shows how much I leave the house. I never would have know about this otherwise. Didn't realize I was so cutting edge in my youth, ripping jeans on barbed wire.

I think you should be making arrests! This type of ignorance is criminal!

@gimruis just wait until I break out my sunglasses. I have a feeling the fashion police is going to…. Have an issue with them. Y’all were spared from them my last trip because the sun never showed itself. Absolutely nasty weather. There’s a reason I picked spinnerbaits.

 

 

First time I saw my niece wearing pre ripped jeans I gave her crap about it. She says oh yeah like you've never worn ripped jeans...I said of course I have, with rips and tears I've earned not paid for.
