I know Ben Milliken does this as well. He's mentioned it before.

That was tense! Personally I was pulling a bit for Wheeler to swing on one of those spots he was running and gunning towards the end, but that was still awesome. Catching that 8'lber on a frog must have been so much fun. Can't wait to see what they do on Lake Chickamauga!

Third period and still no fish for KVD. Insane.

I buy Red Label off Amazon in big spools almost every year and love it. By far my favorite "budget" line.

Haha strangely enough I also liked the color more.

Did anyone else check these out at the Classic this week? I'm not in the market for the $260 Legends rod, but I'm thinking of getting one of the Mojo Bass versions for $160. I always have at least one rod dedicated to a chatter bait or some form of swimming jig and this is made for that. I would imagine it would also work for fishing square bills shallow no? Either way just seeing if anyone else took a look and what their thoughts are. Might have to get myself a "the ice is melting in lower Michigan" present. I'm sure my wife knows I celebrate that holiday every year....

Been out in Oakland 4 times now, Pontiac/Cass/Maceaday/Pontiac since I live within 3 miles of all of them. All after work for only a few hours but I still haven't caught a bass... Idk if it's me or the fish guys, but talk about frustration. Not going to stop me though, heading out again a few more times this week weather pending.

So Lake St. Clair falls under the same category as the Great Lakes? I think that was the debate that none of us knew the answer to, since it isn't a Great Lake. Half of us thought it still followed the same rules since it was connected on both sides by the Great Lakes. Thanks for the quick response!

Hello all, I'm curious about any and all rules/regulations that I need to follow for my upcoming Memorial Weekend trip to Lake St. Clair. I was passively talking about it with some other anglers last weekend but none of us were sure of the exact letter of the law. What do I need for my 19' bass boat? I know I'll need a throw-able and one life vest for each member on my boat, so 3 life vests and a throw-able. Do I need a ship-to-shore radio and flares? Someone thought I also needed an anchor and 100ft of rope. I can't find a clearly laid out list of exactly what I need anywhere it seems, so any help in pointing me towards what I will need to bring would be super appreciated. Need to make sure I have everything before the big weekend gets here. Thanks!

Fished most of the day yesterday on Pontiac Lake. Threw darn near everything in the boat between my fiance and I. Only left with one pike and a sun burn. Saw a lot of boats out but didn't see anyone catch any that I noticed. Not sure if the water temp and the lake being way up had anything to do with it. Long day on the water though.

I would like to piggy back on this thread as I'm looking for some battery replacement options. I have two size 31 flooded cell Deka Marine Masters currently that are dying a quick death. I keep them in the boat over the winter, but it's garage stored and the batteries are on a maintenance charger, so I don't think that killed them. They were in the boat when I bought it two years ago and the guy I bought it from was an extreme power fisherman, so they were abused. I know last time I did any research it was very popular to buy some from Sam's Club I believe? Just curious as to what the go to 31 size batteries are right now for the $100-150 mark. Thanks!

The last two comments before mine don't seem to fit with the topic? Did they get posted over here by some site/forum error? Strange. Either way glad to see Favorite on board. They seem like a good up and coming company and they are definitely hitting the YouTuber community hard which I think is genius. That's a market a lot of companies are not hitting focusing on enough right now. I wonder if Favorite will be down at the Classic Expo? I'd like to get my hands on some of their rods in person to see what they're all about.

I drive by a few lakes every day to and from work and I'm watching the ice very very carefully. As soon as that sucker is gone the Ranger is going in the water. If I wasn't going to be gone this weekend I'd probably go out to St. Clair or the Detroit River for sure.

Just updated my thread asking questions about when I went to look at it. But I am the proud 3rd owner of a 1994 Ranger 482VS Bassmaster Classic edition. There were only 52 of them made for the Classic and I have #52. Someone on ***. forums has #51 I believe so I think it's kind of cool that it's so rare. Updated the trolling motor and all the electronics since those pics were taken. Hoping to re-carpet after the wedding next spring.
