Well, I was mistaken. DUH, if an angler gets 51st, he doesn't fish the top 50 cut. So Ken, Cliff, and Freddy were out for today. Regardless, JPow and particularly Bill Lowen killed it for me today, good for a slight bump in standing from 96.3% to 96.9%. Lowen is fishing tomorrow in 2nd place! Been two (?) tournaments I think since one of mine got into the top twelve.

Pepper custom baits has one like that, called the Boom Boom plus swim jig. Fred Roumbanis designed it.

Congratulations to you and the mom!

You like the Omens, get an *** black cranking rod or wait for the new ones to come out.

Braid really helps.

I've got two. #1: Fishing from a johnboat on bass that had never seen a topwater before. Sure, it was half cheating, but seeing 20+ fish blow up on your Hula Popper in less than an hour was fun! That's a bass every three minutes. The hard part was taking out the trebles. #2: A hot, hot afternoon in NC. One fish. Of course, that fish just happened to be 7 3/4 pounds, my pb. Funnest fight ever!

Well, dropped back to 96% today.....Things went a little too close for my comfort. Boom Boom and Cliff Prince are out, and get this: Jacob Powroznik and Bill Lowen made 50th and 51st places, respectively. WHEW! Three of my guys fishing tomorrow. Bill Lowen is in 6th place, he made up some good ground. Hoping he'll get in the top twelve.

Dang, we need to see some pics!!

He'll fish tomorrow, but making the top 50 cut for the next day is questionable.

Unbelievable day for Ike, tied for 98th place with 10 people. Having caught 5 fish? Nope. Not 4 either, or one. SKUNK!!! He was dominated in fantasy fishing too, the people who picked him are gonna be SO ticked.

Nice! (no idea what those mean, but still nice)

Yes! Made up some good ground today. Forgot to set a tiebreaker for the event, which would suck if I won and lost because of that. But it's not looking like I will. Today was all about survival, unlike most tourneys where day 3/4 is about survival. The bay is in a funk, and weights are predicted to rise through the week. My day one roster shot me up to 98%, the highest I've gotten. SO proud of Cliff Prince for making top 50 exactly, even with a bag of small fish. At least he wasn't in the one fish club. Get out there and catch 'em tomorrow, boys!

A member on here gave me some of his homeade Grandebass Rattlesnake knock-offs in a bigger 6-inch size. They are KILLER with a walk-the-dog weightless presentation. I've caught tons of fish on them. The ribs give it so much action.

Nail weights, split shot, weightless, shakeyhead, dropshot, texas rig, the Fluke is a classic. Can't go wrong!

4-inch finesse worm, weightless.

Congrats dude!

Can you skip up underneath it?

Get better soon man. Keep on being a trooper!

I've seen it. Three seconds ago Nice find.

I really want to try it after watching Bamabass's video.....

Haha, I'm with you. I just traded the crankbaits I don't use and some old soft plastics for a spinning reel. Works for me .

Nice one! I love pike, my biggest is 23 inches, it fought super hard.

Yup, they do really work

Depends on who it is. Although in general I love to pass the sport on, I honestly don't like taking someone who has no idea how to fish bc it's more just me teaching them instead of fishing myself. Selfish, I know. I can only do it every once in a while. I love fishing with my brother, and also with my boss, who loves fishing and hunting. But for the most part, I'm out there alone.

I love the guy's YouTube name, Mousetrapgenius haha. So random.
