    I dont really keep count. Maybe it's just mental game I play with my self, but if I go out for a half day, my goal is 5 fish or 12 lbs. If i go out for a whole day my goal is 20 lbs in 5 fish. Some days i make the number goal , more often than not, I dont make the 20 lb goal but i come close. I've probably caught 50 last week but that's fishing every day and somedays twice.

    Yes sir. I have it in 3 sizes... 8,12, and 20. It's the only.mono I buy anymore. I'm still fazing out some others. K.i.s.s.

    Don't feel bad, i lost two fish today back to back. I would feel better if they threw the hook. Mine broke me off. I was punching/flipping into holes of hydrilla with 7'6 Heavy rod, 1/2oz rage bug. I had a leader on, cuz there were large areas I was flipping to where the hydrilla was sparse in between the spans of hydrilla. First time, i had fish on, half way back to boat he dove deep into the slop..bam broke...second time, it popped on the hook set. That was 10 mins apart. I cut the entire leader off, and tied straight to the braid. I caught 5 more back to back no issues on that.rod...I'm guessing my.leader was garbage. As for yours, idk, but.I dont like a MF for spinnerbaits. Extra fast action for.mine. 50 lb braid with 12lb sniper.

    Id much rather pitch a jig, or a rage bug/craw, or topwater bait. That's just what I like, but I can't count how many spinner bait fish I've caught over the past 16 years. In the beginning I was like a lot of new guys and pretty much stuck to pitching plastic under docks, c rigs on points, and top water everwhere.. But somewhere along the way I learned I started picking up different techniques and putting it together .. Spinner baits really began to click for me 10 years ago. I've caught more on a spinnerbait the last 10 than any other type of.lure. I've had spells when a sof t swim bait seen more action than the spinnerbait, but I don't see chatter bait surpassing it. I do fish a chatter bait some, but it's not one that I have a specific stick for. Kinda like the soft swim bait, it has its place for situational.fishing for me..just not to the level that I do with spinnerbait

    Hey Tom, ive probably heard you explain this before, but for some reason it's just now really clicking. So if I wanted to be more consistant with the line being taken up at a higher rate, a larger reel (or reel with a larger spool) is what I'm looking for? basically what I'm asking is, if I wanted to ensure in getting 22inches (for example purposes only) I should switch my cranking or swimbait reel to one of the larger offerings? That's definately worth looking to. Thanks for explaining it to us. I appreciate it.

    I got back from fishing after lunch and I was doing the whole post trip thing... re-tying a couple lines, ect, and my son asked me why I use Green line. He was referring to the mono filament I have on 1 of my set ups. I typically use braid, braid to floro, or straight floro. I have mono on only a couple and sometimes I'll use mono as a leader. I told him I use green, because that's what color I have always bought the Big game in. We have fairly clear water here, today there was about 3 foot of clarity. Question is- do you guys with moderately clear water, do u use clear mono, green, blue and does it make a difference? I felt bad that I couldn't answer his question, other than, green works fine on our lakes

    I'm all about making a long cast but dang, If i have to sling a finesse bait like a senko 40 plus yards to catch fish, I'm going to another spot. That's a very long cast. Realistically, I dont know how far I can cast a senko. Typically the way I run my boat and move, I dont have to cast that far with a senko or any lure.. maybe 25 yards at the most, but that's still a looooonnng ways.. .only times I've absolutely had to is when I'm bank fishing and then waters down and I need to make a bombing cast out there. Or maybe when I'm deep cranking, but a 1 oz crank bait on a 7'7 medium is child's play. Im not knocking the camp of guys saying they cover the lengths of football fields on a cast with a senko..I'm just saying, "do I need to?" Senko casts pretty well anyways. It's not like an incredible feat to long cast one. I don't have to break out the BFS gear. (Not that i really own any other than a 16 year old pixy) Id be more impressed to see a guy cast that far with a 4" robo worm weightless.

    Heck I dont know, I guess I catch myself saying it if its 3 pounds plus.. if I can get on a mess of 3 - 4 lb fish, that's fun.. My son has reeled in countless 2 pounders and I always tell him they they are quality fish. But I have a whole new set of phrases for bigger fish... hawgs, toads, studs, monsters, lunkers, etc.

    I learned that the hard way at a young age. Some of you old heads on the forum may remember that I was a police officer here from age 20 to age 30. One thing I took away from it was that to the person dealing with the police it was the worst day of their life and to me it was just tuesday... I had to put my selves in their shoes and kinda understand and show a little grace... cuz like I said what was just another day at work was a day that that person may never forget. You never know what someone has going on. I remember August 31 2017, I had was at work at a steel fabrication plant, and got a series of phone calls that led me to have to lead work, i went and told the boss what was up and walked to the time clock, and my friend Steve who was our weld inspector, seen me ( he had no clue what was going on with me, I guess he thought I was just frustrated with work) and said, " dang Glen, smile a little, work is almost over " I looked at Steve and said, " I just got a call, my brother died, it was suicide, I have to go" long story short, i return to work a few short days later and Steve apologized profusely... and I told steve, he had no way of knowing...its ok... So, you never know what someone is dealing with... Still doesnt excuse a cashier from talking on the phone and being rude tho... I'm on both sides on this topic.

    I knew you would like it. It's a good spinner bait rod. I'm prob going out babk fishing for an hour before my sons baseball practice. I've got a KVD wake bait tied to it now. Been a decent topwater rod so far too.
  12. Teal
    Same here, they are expensive but only at first...you save money having them

    I think that was part of the whole idea behind the mlf, was the entertainment aspect and showing the personalities and getting the viewer way more personally involved by allowing us to see these personalities...kinda like reality TV. We are seeing a little bit that we've only ever seen from just a few anglers, like ike and gman.
  14. Teal
    Thanks for sharing. It's always fun to jump on a pattern with our sons with us. Top water is pretty too.

    Some don't want to be intruded on. It really doesn't matter. Just keep being friendly, the world we live in could use a little more of that right now.

    A couple of my rods I have grip tape on. Not aesthetically pleasing but it serves a purpose. Magic eraser helps remove any adhesive from the tape down the road when you take it off

    I despise being the guy that takes business away from someone because of a bad employee or person that wasn't hospitable. One part of me says, I with you, the other side is glad they gave you the correct change and the parts guy gave you your chain back sharpened correctly. Maybe things are little different here in nc, we do get a fair share of gas station attendants talking on the phone but most of them are nice and polite. I'm not saying that I am the type to go complain to a manager for every little thing, but I've been known to see a manager at a store in trip out a few days later and ask them if they can get a certain employee to smile or to get off the phone. Nothing makes me angrier than when I walked into hardees (fast food joint) and was second in line waited 2 minutes to get to front and then had to wait 7 or 8 minutes while employees fuss, gossip, play, and ignore me... Then the little girl walks up and asked me quote" what you want". I seem the manager a short time After at.church and.she asked why.she ain't seen.me in a whilw, I told her, why I haven't been back... The following Sunday she told me that she went straight back to work and told the young lady to find a new job... That.kimda.made me feel bad, but at sa me time, I go back to There now

    My pops said same thing, let it dry a while and look into a plastic welder. He has does similar jobs but just using a heat gun or propane torch as low as he could get it heat a price of plastic till it's very ply able and then start to fill the hole with it. It can always be sanded down and repainted. Should be videos on repairing kayaks that should help.

    I have used fiberglass and resin on fiberglass boats, but never fixed a plastic boats..I'm sure it's not the end of the world. I'm gonna do a little research. (That means im gonna call my dad, he should know what to do) It doesnt look awful, is it foam filled? Is it taking water?
  22. Teal
    Is it just me, or are you guys less excited about the classic because BASS just seems watered down now that alot of the best bass fisherman in the world fish MLF?
  23. Teal
    I think I speak for most of the guys that watch your videos @DanielG they are great and I think most guys would really like to continue to see them. Can you just edit that part out of the end before you post on here and if theres any links or anything just edit them out? I realize that it may be a headache. In all fairness to the site and mods, the thing you are being cited for is specifically listed as something not to do. I'm sure you didnt know, otherwise you wouldnt have done it. I hope there isnt a bad taste in your mouth, and that you would still share your wonderful gift and craftsmanship with the rest of us. Tight lines brother. And now back to regularly scheduled prgorams.

    The 110 is a killer! It think it is the perfect size to catch a good range of fish. Good luck on it Chris. MUNKY BUTT color has actually been my best producer. Loon, and perch have also caught plenty of fish.

    Jumpsuits

    Teal replied to Mobasser's topic in Fishing Tackle

    I'm sure we could find you some Dickies Coveralls in a light weight cotton. I think I actually still have some navy blue ones in the shop I used to wear when I had nasty jobs to do. I havent thought about wearing them fishing... but I'm bot making any fashion statement either. Once its gets hot, I'm good to even being wearing shoes on the boat.
