One to just a few .

In extremely muddy water , I rarely throw a crankbait. I can remember one time catching a couple with a rattle trap but dont remember the color. In stained water 1 foot of visibility chartreuse black back is a good color for a square bill.

Never have.

I use a Carolina rig as a deep water search bait . I take a 3/4 to 1 oz weight with about a two foot leader too explore deep flats and extended points quickly. I never use a long leader as I have not found an advantage to it. A one to two foot leader is all I ever use.

I would not too but a lot of these nutty rednecks around here dont know how to "human". So if they want me to park 50 yards out of the way I'll do it.

I put the trolling motor down and go fishing . I'll pitch a texas rig in a brush pile with baitcasting gear on one cast and on the next cast target rocks with a spinning rod and a ned rig. My largest bass this year has been on the ned.

I had a nasty note left on my windshield yesterday by an angler complaining about my parking. I didnt have a trailer and was parked in the picnic area, in a designated parking spot. I dont know. I guess because I was fishing he wanted me to park with the vehicles towing boats. sheesh. I'll park there from now on just because I dont want my truck vandalized

I grew up going to fish fries featuring carp or buffalo. Living in a river town with a fish market , they were popular . A few years ago I was going through Grafton Illinois . There was a fish market and they were selling carp and buffalo sandwiches. I had to stop and get one . It was good. I use to save the stones from drum heads. I think I still have a few.

I fish lakes with slot limits, The conservation dept encourages anglers to keep bass under the slot. I keep a limit every trip. As far as taste, I guess Missouri bass tase better than other states. Everybody who has tried them rave about how good they are. I fry them dipped in egg and Andys red.

I'm still looking for the ultimate texas rig worm hook. I Imagine I always will be.

I plan on doing that some day. These are all mint condition . A lot of Image comics including the very first Image comic . Youngblood issue 1. A few Marvel and a few Batmans.

Buzzbaits have always been my favorite but a long way from my most productive. They are so much fun. Most productive is a worm.

I just purchased app. 60 comics in pristine condition , for 100 dollars. They are all in a plastic sleeve's with cardboard backing. Whoever bought them was collecting them. These are not Silver Surfers , Hulks... mostly stuff I never heard of, from 1990's forward. Theres a couple that look like they have some value. Turok the Dinosaur Hunter Gold Edition and Eternus. Lots of #1 issues. Titles like Shadow Hawks, Dr. Giggles, Ninjettes, Prime, Solar... Just lots of misc. books dont know if they have value or not.

I used both the Bomber Mini Whacker and Strike King Mini King with zero problems. I've caught hybrids in current and they stood up.

Stick around forty years, You will slow down.

One of the first lures I had. That along with a Hula Popper, Lazy Ike and Flatfish that I got for Christmas one year .. Never caught much with any of them.

Best job I ever had.

Wheeler picks are in . Garrett Livesay Fujita Gaston Canterbury

Caught my largest Ned fish ever today . Didnt have a scale. Five lbs I guess . Caught on a rip rap bank.

I never use scents on hard baits. On soft plastics I almost always run a chartreuse garlic scented marker the total length of the bait down the back . Tubes , worms, neds... I cant state that the scent helps at all but I do get a lot of bites so it doesnt hurt . I like the way it makes a lure appear. Even on dark lures it gives them a two tone appearance.

I havent used one in a long time. I can remember a day in early spring, I put a green pork frog on a white aggravator with the weed guard retrieved it up to some brush , kill it letting it helicopter down. Hammered them. I used a green frog because a friend told me the color-c-lector indicated green.

One thing can be said about Patrick Walters. The man knows how to finish a tournament.

yep' Having to clean the line every cast or two is a pita.

This might be my last time picking Robertson. He seems to have a difficult time putting consecutive good stingers in the boat.

Fellow anglers that cut me off.
