At least you know you don’t have PTSD..........post traumatic skunked disorder.

Nope

Honestly? No. If it requires that I have to navigate the zoo at the ramp and the irritations on the water, I don’t care to go. If I’m fishing a new venue with promising habitat and fish counts and can get out mid week, that’s different. I also get excited to fish the structure others drive over. If I can get the long rod out and crank deeep, I can get excited.

I guess I’m an optimist and realist. After forty years, I know a universal power rating is impossible. What is far more important is a consistency in the progression of the powers within the brand or series. I also feel consistent actions are just as critical. Good luck!

The good stuff is yet to come.

Well it’s great being the son of a legend.

I’m a fan. I know it’s political. It always has been. Ask Jesse Owens but these athletes have purposed their lives to compete and I choose respect that.

My dad was faster than most nail guns.

I smoked lightly in my early 20’s. Mostly pipe and cigars. A carton of Winstons was 2.47. My dad died at 70 and he and my mom smoked two packs of Camels or Lucky Strike. My grandfather smoked for 70 years but as an Englishman he didn’t inhale. I quit smoking and drinking alcohol at 29 because I didn’t want to be a negative role model. Yes, both my boys smoke and one is a recovering alcoholic. I tried.

Thank you for the suggestions. I went with a Cat Walk, Crush Dogma,two Lucky Craft Sammy 105’s and a Sexy Dawg. I’m confident these will meet the conditions I’ll be seeing the remainder of the year.

That media release was a breath of fresh air. A successful family owned business rebounding from adversity to remain a bass fishing icon. That’s what I’m talking about!

I have a Black Dog Lunker Punker.

Do you mean you’re a Hillbilly? Yes I am, by way of Calgary Alberta. We lived on South Hill.?

Okay you guys that are hard core top water Dawg walkers. My top water box is the least stocked. I have some Spooks and Super Spooks and a couple Sammy 85 series. I’m open to some other options. I’ll be fishing clear water and predominately for smallmouth.

You picked a good reel Chris. Back reeling is no longer used much as the drag systems on spinning reels have improved tremendously. Some manufactures are removing the feature altogether.

Andy Morgan Chick Magnet. That makes sense though. It’s a crankbait.

Bang for the buck can mean VALUE. Getting performance, longevity, durability and serviceability at a lower cost than comparable constitutes value. The Fuego CT is a great value reel .

Yes

I like crankbaits.

It’s all about the cash.

It’s Ned time right now. If you haven’t checked out the Morel Jig Head by Siebert Outdoors, you’re missing out. This is my go to Ned jig. Balanced, awesome hook and keeper, great paint with clean eyes and affordable. Mike sells bulk 25 count bags. Made in the USA. Mike does it right!

The best place to start is at the beginning. Some things are like beating your head against a brick wall........it feels good when you stop.
