12poundbass

I saw a few smaller lakes yesterday that were starting to close in and one that was completely froze over. I don’t see it lasting too long though. Looking through my photos from last year March 14 our lake was open. They’re predicting a long cold winter, I take that with a grain of salt. I’ll throw out a guess of March 20th.

It’s been a while that’s for sure!

I honestly didn’t either but it was due time!

I bleed Maze and Blue, not that you’re implying, but I doubt Michigan would be much of an opponent for Georgia.

I’m still trying to figure out how Cincy is even in the top 10. Norte Dame is their only legit win, the rest of their schedule was puff schools.

Great game!

I’m guessing next game they’ll be up by one with 5 seconds left in the game and all they have to do is knee the ball to win. This being the Lions they’ll be on their own one yard line and kneel the ball in their own end zone for a safety! Judging by your screen name you’re from I’m guessing Detroit so you probably wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happened. ?

On our way home from thanksgiving dinner my son said, “I got jipped being born during this time when the Lions are horrible”. The wife and I look at each other and laugh. I replied with, “they’ve always been horrible buddy, that’s why I’ve gotten you to be a Bills fan”. ?

This winter we’re going to be preoccupied by finding a house to buy or planning to build, basically making up our mind on what we’re going to do! We’ve looked at 8 houses with none that we absolutely had to have so I’m trying to get the wife fully on board with building. Either way this’ll keep my mind off fishing. The house we’re renting is a block away from a lake called Muskelunge lake so once there’s ice I might have to go set some tip ups and try and catch my first Muskey. I usually go out ice fishing twice a year to remind myself why I don’t care for ice fishing.

I believe it’s called MAP: Manufactures Advertised Pricing

Quite possible. I know more and more are being delivered.

Yup, plenty of hair growing out of the ears, nose, and eyebrows. All of them are grey or white. I’ve noticed that the grey or white hairs on my eyebrows seem to grow about an inch overnight too! I’ve been dealing with the nose hairs on the inside for a while now, but my new nemesis is the hairs on the tip of my nose! You take tweezers to those bad boys and your eyes instantly water! Getting old sucks!

So I just moved into a rental house until we find a house or build and all my fishing stuff is boxed up. So I don’t know what all I have, so that means I basically have to start from scratch and with all the sales going on now is the best time to start over. Is this a good sales pitch for Mrs. 12poundbass? ?

I sure wish they had more than two colors to choose from on the RES. I think I’m pretty well stocked up on everything else.

I’ve thought about this quite a bit now that my son is getting older. I did a ton of stupid stuff as a kid! I did a lot of things my parents didn’t know about and things they did know about especially when the school called and said your son has been suspended or when the police show up at your house. We never did anything disrespectful or damaging to peoples property, or steal. My criminal and driving records are clean as a whistle (thankfully). I had a great life growing up, but I think I had a little too much freedom and my parents trusted me more than they should have, and didn’t ask enough questions. That being said you reach a point whether you’re an adult or a minor where you know what you’re doing and the potential consequences for your actions. I did a lot of dumb things, but I also think most do as a kid and to some extent it’s a part of growing up. If my son does stupid stuff (which he will) I hope he’s smart enough to not do things that could get him killed, seriously hurt, or in trouble with the law, and I hope he realizes the stupid stuff he’s doing and doesn’t do them again. If he does get caught I hope he’s ready to face the consequences.

Breakfast burritos, you don’t buy them, you only rent them!

Oh come on, you’re older than that!

I only live 2.5 hours south of him so shipping was quick! I should’ve drove up their to pick them up so I could meet the legend himself!

A-Jay’s Custom Bait and Tackle came through again with great pricing and super quick shipping! I’ll be shopping there again.

Check out bassfishinelectronics.com they have some sales going on. Very fast shipping!

I’ve never fished them. I’m wondering if they’re going to be discontinued? Either way it’s a pretty good deal.

Dobyns has their Fred Roumbanis rods $100 off right now.

You’re brining a pizza. Interesting. Hopefully not a wet brine! ?

A dry brine will give you more flavor, a wet brine will water down the flavor a bit. If you do a dry brine add a little baking powder with it for a crispier skin.

I agree with @Tennessee Boy keep it simple for the large crowd and experiment later on. I’d be the one to try something new for a crowd and screw it up and ruin thanksgiving.
