Went out to the public pond again and tricked one into hitting a swim Jig. Only fish of the evening, but I was only out there for an hour. St Croix Avid AVC70hf Shimano Curado 200e7 Daiwa Samuria 40lb Braid Bonehead Custom Swim jig w/ powerbait 4'' curlytail white trailer

Thought I was watching a Bill Dance skiing em across the top of the water BOOOYAHH!! Nice video! Jeff

Great story and good cal on the c&r no pic! Jeff

7'' version of the rage tail thumper

Great story and determination! Sorry to hear of your loss! We also had a destroyed pond due to the high waters that left many lunkers in fields! Must have been the same time, sometime in April when it happened. Just one month previous to the rains, we had pulled an 8lb 9oz (my pb) and an 8lb 1 oz( best friends pb) out of the same pond less than 200 yrds from each other, one week apart. Jeff

If I were to get one combo to do multiple things in that price range, I would look at a St Croix Avid AVC70MF paired with a Shimano Curado 200e7. Price would be in the range of $170ish for the rod and $150ish for the reel. You are looking at around 320, and spend the other 80 on tackle! Jeff PS- Welcome to BR!!

Right now we are seing lots of carp and even big gar splashing around on the surface! Jeff

Are you sure it was bass and not carp? I dont know where you are located, but asian carp around here are horrible! Jeff

Topwater(buzzbaits, pop-r's, and walk the dogs) would have killed in that situation I would think! Also like to throw lipless cranks through the schools of shad. That would have been my approach! Jeff

Great pics and great fishing! Jeff

Congrats on the new pb and keep those pics coming!

When and where in TN you coming?

Forgot to ask, what bait where you using on your flick shake? Jeff

Nice! I had a 7 species day about 3 weeks ago. Kinda crazy, but between the 2 of us we caught, lmb, gar, catfish, crappie, bream, pumpkinseed and a drum! LOL Jeff

How big is the pond? You may not have taken out enough.

I like your thinking! Jeff

I'd get a minnkota t motor with spot lock and save a little more and get the graph! Spot lock will hold you better in 11 fow that any power pole ever dreamed about! Jeff

Kill em all! I hate those things! Biggest one I have killed so far!

Most of the time when that is happening to me it is bluegill! Good catches and keep it up! Jeff

Just some guy, who catches great fish, has great stories, teaches the people he fishes with and makes a d**n great bait line-up called Rage Tail by strike king! Jeff

I drive a Tundra! Made in Texas! Jeff

ummmm?? Roadwarrior!!!

The first step is admitting you have a problem........... Jeff

I trim my weed guards at an angle to the hook point only when fishing open water. When in thick cover, the weed guard is necessary! Skirts I pretty much leave alone! I like the slower fall Jeff

give me either a bonehead 3/8 black/blue jig with trailer, or a t-rigged 8'' worm in something dark!! Jeff
