I once took a black sharpie and wrote "NO PIKE" on each side of a 6xd.....................it didn't work.

Finally got the skunk off. Went fishing today, caught three bass. 12"..red eye shad 15"..Berkley power hawg 13"..Lucky Craft RC 1.5 In that order. At least it's a start...lol. Hootie

Sometimes I net dinks - especially on some of the slower trips. It's good practice. A-Jay

My ol' lady calls me her ol' man. We dont find it disrespectful at all. Its actually an extremely common term in many parts of the world. Particularly those that speak the Queens English or a variation there of. There's no I'll intent or disrespect meant. An example. Sometimes I call her my Filthy Little W****. She often calls me Oh God!. There is no offense meant by either of those names. I guess its all in the context. Its not like I'm calling her a Manky Ol' Slag. Or a Old Bean Bag. Another example. Since you are over thinking a humorous thread. I may refer to you as an Old Fart or an Old Fuddy Duddy. As in. Lighten up ya Ol Fuddy Duddy. I mean no disrespect by either of those terms. You are simply older than me and you may fart. Or you may be a Fuddy Duddy. Don't believe me? Just ask Sir Snook. Thank you for viewing Raider Nay Shays educational post of the day. Addendum: We have been married for almost 9 blissful years. Been together for 11 years. Known each other for 24 years. Which is saying something cause I ain't but 30.

What is this, troutresource.com? Go throw some jigs and jerkbaits for some bass!

reason... I think if you need to label your cranks, you have too many and aren't familiar with them, not a recipe for success, but to each his own. ?? you lost me on your post?? "not a recipe for success"... huh?? since it doesn't negatively affect the crankbait in any way, i think if you are fairly new to fishing, and it helps you learn your baits better....it gives you a quick "reminder" to help you. what is the harm? to me, that could be a "key ingredient" in your recipe for success...quicly being able to identify and know the depth at which a certain crank runs...

"Honey, You're officially the oldest woman I've ever slept with." I thought it was funny

My ol lady and me are going on 10 yrs. She has better things to yell at me about than that

my ol' lady would disagree that it is disrespectful as well...

Do it for your own sanity!!!!

I guess the reality is that I'm so close to the water in the Old Town, It's usually more work to swing one than it is to simply reach down and either lip, net or even Boga Grip the silly little bass-tage. A-Jay

Anything decent in size gets the net. Hardly ever flip them in.

that is an excellent idea A-Jay! not as "sexy" as boat flipping.....but since the name of the game is "in the boat" not "near the boat", you have hit the nail on the head.

as for the question, i would definitely lip that fish !!!!

man that is no fun!!! i don't have a boat but i did lose the biggest fish of my life last year because i didn't use net in my yak , if i had a net i was golden. i have 2 nets now and will have one with eveytime im out.

DOH! You must have been on some kind of low blood sugar episode.........cuz if you had been snackin' all day you would have had the energy to communicate what was going on in your head............ DAG EXPLETIVE GUMMIT!

You forgot the part about were he Works his Tail off to build her a place!

It's in his belly! Great pics, guys!

For me a successful fishing trip means that the boat ran well, nothing broke, I didn't have a blow out on the trailer, I didn't get pulled over and I didn't fall in the lake (all those things have happened at one time or another). The catching is secondary to all that.

Zman's Elaztech floats well, Used their finesse worms and work well on the dropshot. And now Strike King's super fiesse worm that is made from the same stuff, Elaztech also floats. Just don't store any of those baits with regular worms, they melt and make a mess.

My wife and I are moving down to Table Rock Lake just south of Branson on May 1. It has been our dream for along time.So now I can fish TR untill I get sick of it and then fish it some more!!

I took this picture on Lake St Clair. Its one of my all time favorites. None of this has been Photoshopped.

You'll have to watch to the end see just how surprisingly accurate this is. A-Jay http://www.okcfox.com/story/25244962/job-applicants-for-worlds-toughest-job-get-a-big-shock#.U05jUoiKgng.facebook

I'll warn ya that yes elaztech baits float but they're extremely hard to get onto a screw lock on a shakey.

Nice haul. Wow wish I had a nice spot like that. I needs some pole bending.

Way to go Mike! That's a lot of nice fish you've been pulling from there. You definitely have it dialed in. Safe travels to your dad.

Nice un Mike!

Wow... Holiday park is a zoo because everyone has been reading your reports.... Nice job Mike!!

Well, I understand your point, but I think you missed mine. I don't believe in multiple coincidence. The fact that three guys all catch DDs on one weekend trip together on Pickwick Reservior has a statistical probability approaching zero. This combined with other reports of DDs on The Rig suggest a completely different scenario.

Great day fishing! Congrats.

Well done, Mitch.

Hey Jeff, Where is the Carona in that 2nd to last picture?

I thread everything on, chunks, rage craws, chigger craws, and paca craws.

I have some great on the water pics as well........ Jeff

I will try not to. But I am sure there will be a couple without sore lips. But only a couple! Jeff

Nice Bass & a Pretty Crappie ~ He said Crappie . . . . . A-Jay

Keep it simple, thread on a Rage Lobster and call it a day.

I thread them on like your first photo 99.% the time. It seems like every time I try to just hook the tip the trailer ends up in a ball around the hook.

Awesome or not, When I get home from a day on water I'm usually so wiped out I just wipe down the rods, back off the reel drags, toss out the old plastic and just sit quietly for a while. But I may have a bigger smile on face. Mike

Look at Power Team Lures. They float and get very good reviews. Todd

Reins bubbling shaker and Keitech live impact are the most productive, tantalizing floating worms I have used.

Don't expect the Zinkers to float because they sink like a rock due to the high salt content in them. Also, I would save you money on the Jackall Clone Gills, not worth it, been there done that. Great idea, but not a very good product IMO. If you're gonna spend that on dropshot baits, stick with the Keitechs. The Live Impact and the Swing Impacts are awesome dropshotting....use the 3.5 Swing's and a #2 hook on both. The slightest twitch brings these baits to life. And remember DO NOT STORE ANY ZMAN ELAZTAC BAITS WITH ANY OTHER SOFT PLASTIC BAITS.

Roboworms are hand poured. float very well.

Blood and fish slime seem to keep cork good for decades.

I thread almost 100% of the time..............even chunks

It's already been done.

Fired my outboard up today and it didn't explode or catch on fire.................that's always a win. As for fishing...soon...very soon.

If any of you guys have one of these and would be willing to give me a few dimensions, I would gladly post drawings on how to make this or have someone make this for you. Two options to make this would be either be steel with black powder paint or stainless steel brushed finish. I am a sheetmetal designer, so posting fab drawings is no bigee. *********Mods would you have a problem with me posting fabrication drawing for someone to make these themselves? If so I won't post drawings on here.******

get the bps extreme rod for 100 buck you get im9, most rods today dont even have that. its top notch quality 7'6 med hvy perfect for what you need
