oh we can fry. If there is one thing a fat boy from WV can do, its find a way to fry his food.

lol what makes it worse , im a Bears fan. lol  BOOOO Packers. Booooo Steelers.

So is frying up a bunch of fish in lard, grease and butter with plenty of salt better than red meat?  ;D

Lake level is at 356.0 this morning ... came up about 6 inches in the last 24 hours. With rains predicted this week, it should come up more. It might just make it to full summer pool or close by the time y'all get here

Are the mustard flowers blooming Greg?

Is it wrong i made a callender like you would with Chrismas?

I took my daughters fish from the bathtub playset and am using them to Xout the days remaing.... Im gettin low on fish...

Reverse the fish on calender and take them off as each day goes by.

AHH! great idea! ... now where did she put that livewell.

Im so stoked about the trip and this will be my first major out of state and i want to have a blast i hope to have the time of my life thanks to btech i now have something to look for every year  

Kelley, I am seeing them on the side of the road. I haven't seen any on the lake shore but they don't come up everywhere and they come up almost over night. I bet there are some blooming somewhere. I always found more of them on Barkley. Anyway, the milfoil is coming on! I'm finding grass in 3-4 of water and there are fish in it! The bite is hot and getting hotter!

Stop it, stop it, stop it......

I dont know if I can take another 11 days of this.   ;D

its gonna be killer. i cant wait.What is it now,10-11 days. CJ keep that weather over there nice and right and we will see ya soon

Kelley .... like CJ said, we haven't seen any mustard flower yet either. Shouldn't be long ...... they seem to just pop up overnight when they are ready. Good rain coming tonight ..... should help the lake come on up.

Just 11 more days until I get to travel six hours to spend a week not catching fish.

Yay...

Famous words of the pessimist.  

I predict you will catch your new PB while there.  

At least a pound and half, maybe even 2.  

Burley, don't make me start posting pic's of the bass my girlfriend has been catching. You're gonna catch some good uns'. If my 9 year old can catch em, so can you.

I'll be glad to have ya aboard Mr. Wet Blanket.

I've refrained from doing this Sherman but I'm Mr. Peabody and I'm going back in the way back machine to the year 1978

Jimmy Carter was president.

Gas was probably under $1 a gallon.

A honkin big bass boat sported a whoppin 150hp motor and was a whole 18' long.

I was listening to Bob Seger among others when my club had a tournament in May of that year on KY lake out of Kenlake marina.

This strapping 21 year old, who'd never been on the lake (nor have I since) managed catching this 5 1/2 lb bass. I wound up placing 2nd.

I caught this on some old Garcia red round reel using an old Lews Speed Stick fiberglass rod with a 7 1/2" Fliptail worm.

Certainly with the vast amount of equipment you own along with all the knowledge you've gained from this board, this should be no problem to top.

Failure is not an option.

Suckitude? That's freakin' hilarious!

Anyway, I ain't kiddin'. Every time I set the hook Sunday, I knew it could be a good un'. I think it's only gonna get better. Once everybody is here, there will be no secrets.

Don't worry Burley, when we go out on Wednesday, we can get skunked together and have fun doing it.  

You look funny with a cigarette in your hand.

All that pessimism is gonna bite you in your arse when you feel that large thump on the end of your line.  Wait and see, you're gonna get a good one Burley Sue.  

I finally found where ya'all have been posting. I was starting to get worried that I was the only one going nuts sitting in the house waiting for road trip! There hasen't been many posts in general or outings except for the sweet fish you locals have been pulling out.

I have a timer set up on the computer at work that counts down the seconds. This winters cabin fever will be at a true high when I arrive. Don't be surprised if little Iaconelli outbreaks comes out now and again.

Don't worry, you'll know it when I hook something over five pounds, so will everyone on the Barkley side.

I caught about a five pound catfish at Guntersville last year. It was the only fish I caught all week.   :'(

I wouldn't mind catching a nice carp or catfish.

If you don't catch something over 3 pounds I will about lock it in for next year to go since you have more success than I do when we fish together.  Talk about suckitude.
