I'm calling dips on the couch. If there's not already a dog on it . . . A-Jay

I'm in the middle of my 6th decade and very happy to have made it this far. My strength, balance, flexibility, dexterity, mental acuity, endurance, vision and hearing have all experienced some decline. It effects my fishing as well as most all of my everyday life. I manage my fishing trips so I don't use up so much energy I put myself (and others) at risk. Fatigue is a huge factor in many 'accidents'. I added a set of trailer steps at the bow. Significantly smoother getting on & off my rig now. At the ramp & in the garage. Finally, I am no longer able to resist the Bait Monkey. He's just too powerful. So I don't try. A-Jay

I disagree. ~ I think @Team9nine does a very nice job displaying his many bass catches here. A-Jay

Nice Rig ~ Best of Luck with her Congrats A-Jay

I vote chains all day, every day and twice on Sunday. I also go Master Pad lock on the hitch to ball. I do not trust a simple cotter pin. Not as a theft deterient as it's pretty easy to cut off. But unless it is, it's not coming off there while traveling down the road. 😃 A-Jay

Cleaned up this morning. Just in time for more snow tonight. Good Times. btw- THIS is winter. A-Jay

If you've ever heard them snag a rabbit in the dead of night - it's wicked bad. Rabbit screams and it sounds like someone is skinning a baby ! I like it either way. A-Jay

Yup ~ Lynn got a few better shots this morning, confirms it. A-Jay

Same temps up here too. Well, I'd need to subtract 82 degrees. But other than that we are totally the same. 😎 A-Jay

We got hammered again. There was already 8 inches or so on the ground from the other day so it's hard to say what we got this time. One things for sure, it's a true to life Winter Wonderland up in here. I'll be blowing snow again tomorrow. Might try to get a few pics or perhaps some video. I'm starting to get a little impressed at this point. A-Jay

Workout Day 1 this afternoon. Started off a little slow but seemed to build momentum as I got into it. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Not sure - this pic was taken with a Canon Rebel 7 with 75-300mm lens, pretty low light and a good distance away. Last winter we had a Great Horned Owl here for a few weeks but never could get a pic as we'd only see it at night. This bird seems a bit smaller and doesn't have the 'horns'. The give away is always the agitated group of cawing crows. They seem to come from near and far to harass the owls for hours. Pretty sure the crows have good reason, as the Great Horned Owl is their most dangerous predator. A-Jay

Past two weeks or so, there's been 'evidence' that the local rabbit population was being dined on. But there hasn't been any footprints so we had to think it was an aerial attack. My wife may have confirmed it when she took the dogs out this morning. We usually see one or two of these a winter and certainly appreciate them helping to keep the varmint kong population in check.

How many times have you been there and when was the last time you went ? A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Nice Rig A-Jay

Scoretracker is ahead of the live feed. So it's already over. Justin Cooper was able to hold off the charge of the sticks chasing him and hang on for the win. Congrats to him on his first win. That was decent. A-Jay

25 minutes left ! Super close at the top Oh My A-Jay

Tournament Leader Cooper coming up clutch. Just hung a 5 lb Ditch Pickle on the leaderboard. Rest of the fields rod grip just got Tighter ! A-Jay

80 minutes of fishing time left. Can Justin Cooper hang on for the win ? Or will Cody Miller, Jacob Wall or Jacob Wheelers run him down ? Lastly Justin Lucas only needs 2 World Record Bass to go from Zero to Hero. A-Jay

Admittedly, some of that there above was for effect. Meaning there's no BFS and ned rigs being used effectively there. Muskie gear is a tad big IMO, But Again, HEAVY bass gear. 20-25 lb FC, We use light swimbait rods for jig rods. And H/F or XH/F casting gear for just about everything else. My first trip I brought my own gear from home and got taken to school 20. I was using 14 lb test lost so many fish the guide was yelling at me in Spanish. Pretty sure there was some cursing & insults in there somewhere. I earned every one too. I changed to 20 lb big game at lunch on the first day. That was better. The fish are just bigger and totally wild. They Pull like freight trains. Your first 6 lb fish, you'll swear is a DD. And the DD are just IN-Sane. See now, you got me all jacked up ! Really hope I get to go again. A-Jay
