Congrats! Nice going!

I have a 2020 classic. The fused wires are there and ready to go. Remove eight screws and cover comes up easily. Just remember the trolling motor harness is still connected. Hope this helps.

I’d have to catch three on my home lake to get close to that!??

Congrats, nice job!

3/8 and Under spinning-10lb braid /flouro leader. Over 3/8 bc 12 lb sniper.

Roboworm rebarb hooks = size 1/0 for six inch worm.

There are both great baits and fish catchers for sure. The last few years I’ve been pitching the D bomb pretty much exclusively while still banging the hell out of the bass, and it’s definitely more durable which adds up to more$ in my wallet.

Happy Father’s Day to all!

Welcome, enjoy the forums!

On my home water it’d be a spinnerbait, chatter bait, crankbaits and a 110 whopper plopper.

Netbait B Bug - 7lb 6oz LM.

I lean my iPhone 8 on the front fishing seat with a 5 second delay. Works pretty good.

Welcome back.

Rod glove sleeves here, no reel covers.

Hair jig keitech tube

Netbait Paca Chunk.

I use this ^ also, excellent net and easy to remove trebles.

I use the Mustad fastach clip for “most” trebled lures, and the swivel/clip version with my 110 whopper ploppers.

Using them in place of the workers imo. This has been going on for years , long before any pandemic.

Best one of seven on my last trip fishing in FL. All caught on T-rigged super bug D Bomb. Time to head north.

We love lake life living . We built our home two years ago so no major upkeep or maintenance . We love being retired and not working. And I fish more than I ever did and love that also. We feel very fortunate and blessed.

Down in southwest Florida with my third LM of the year but first picture taken. Caught on a Jerkbait . Looking forward to getting back on the boat to hunt down that first bass on my home lake sometime next month.

For the most part you’re talking 3 to 5 inches difference per handle turn, the length of a human finger . I think we anglers tend to overanalyze things on occasion. ???
