Ditto. I have been fishing smallies since about age 2 in the state where the world record came from and I don’t know if I have ever gotten a 6. Closest I have come was probably this 21.5 inch prespawn . 6 is a trophy anywhere in My book. Now I think my girlfriend did get a true 6 maybe 6.5 jigging up white bass with a 5’ ultra light and 4 lb line. 22.5 inches also prespawn in March. Methinks that fish was eating white bass

Love me some hoops!!! Brad Stevens outcoaches about 98% of the people he coaches against so don’t feel bad about that part. I’m a bulls fan so........ well....... there’s always college hoops!

I like the chartreuse belly and dark green back but honestly I don’t think it matters a whole lot most of the time. The ribbit brand ones in all white have worked well for me also

I think all I currently need is offset worm hooks, I usually fish and shoot guns on Black Friday!

I used to love Fly fishing from about age 12-25, and I still do, but guiding opened my eyes to the “elitist” dark side. Yet I still do it! TO me, fishing is fishing but I can’t convince the vented shirt crowd of that

Unless of course you have been a Fly fishing guide for over ten years and get sick of guys showing up with their vented shirts telling you how they have fished sun valley Idaho, Patagonia, Jackson hole, Alaska, blah blah blah. They usually can’t throw a fly past the rod tip!!! Give me a bass boat and a baitcaster any day.

I just keep mine all over the floor of the boat.........

+1!!!!!! Glad to read that so many members like to patronize local stores. Cruising through a lot of other topics and discussions it seemed to be the opposite. I enjoy the internet for fishing knowledge but not for putting people out of business

Mustad also makes affordable braid

Yea I live in Knoxville. Unfortunately I think it is indeed you and I that are at fault! Hahaha

Now that’s funny

Yes!

Good luck! Give em heck up there in ky!!!

There are 3-4 good ones near me and they have all the good stuff you can’t find at big stores. Quit buying stuff online folks!

Gotcha thanks

Neither! These are far and away the least two effective fishing lures for me personally. I know they work but I can’t make them. And I fish a several times a week year round . For about 25+ yrs now

1/8 oz round ball jig head (Arkies from Walmart) and a 2.5 or 3 inch curly tail grub. Works for any fish anywhere

Well this talk of hard pulling fish begs the question..... where’s my invite??

What you need is a buddy with a bass boat!!!

She is undefeated

is Josh Allen concussed?

We said the same thing when he was in college. Apparently he Is great until they turn on the lights. Then the front of his pants turn yellow......... I’m sure I have told you this before but I saw him throw not one but two passes backwards when there was no contact from a defender

Yo yo a blade bait or a jogging spoon. Or crawl a soft plastic as slow as possible

@Darren. please....... cut that guy........ do you know anyone in upper management????

The taste is more important than the weight ! Nice fish
