12poundbass

I’m not a big sweets guy either, but once every few months I get a sweet tooth. When I get ice cream it’s Ashby’s Michigan pothole. A uniquely Michigan ice cream. When my wife was pregnant with 6poundbass she always craved ice cream, now 6poundbass is a total ice cream hound. If it were up to him he’d have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I had it when I was 19 and in the midsts of chemo. I thought it was radiation burns until the doctor said it was shingles. From the left side of my chest, through my armpit, to my left shoulder blade is still numb to this day almost 20 years later.

He is a crazy fishing machine, that’s for sure! I sure hope he doesn’t burn himself out though. You’re right his wife must be one heck of a woman to deal with that crazy schedule.

I still have yet to give them a fair shake due to lack of time on the water but my plan is to give them a good workout over the holiday weekend.

They’re the minnows and there are only two colors. If you’re fine with that I can grab them tomorrow. If you’re looking for a certain color I can check them out in the morning and get back with you. I know for sure one of them is a grey with silver.

I see guys buying these things on line for $15 a bag plus shipping and I found 10 packs at my local Meijer store for $6/pack. I haven’t fished a drop shot yet so I don’t know what color is hot with the flat minnow but I could make a couple bucks off these puppies or make some trades for what I use. ?

I thought that’s all you had to do with the Echomap as well but apparently they require an SD card.

And the fact that all you need is a cheap micro SD card and not a $120 card in order to use it, is super nice as well. Almost all my lakes around me are well mapped, but I think I’m going to turn it on and see what I can find.

Well my Echomaps have already paid for themselves. The lake I live on is a private lake so there are no contour maps. We were out this morning and I decided to try out QuickDraw. It actually mapped the lake a lot quicker than I thought, although I’m going to go over it again. Anyways, after we were done fishing I’m looking over the recordings and I find a pothole next to a flat that I never knew was even there. Now I’m really looking forward to mapping the lake where the wife and I both caught out PB’s. This lake rarely gets fished and is unmolested by the dreaded spray boats that hit almost every lake in sight. This lake where leprechauns and unicorns live have no mapping either. Enough rambling for now. I figured I’d give a quick update.

Looks delicious. My dad loves his flat top grill. I’ve wanted to try a Philly cheesesteak. I’ve been doing toasted subs lately, but haven’t tried that. I did pick up a grill plate to throw on the Pitt Boss, so I’m going to try BBQ grilled chicken toasted subs next weekend.

I never thought it would be that warm already. Oh well.

We too hit the water this morning for a couple hours before the rain moves in. The water was a balmy 75 already, I sure as heck wasn’t expecting that. I caught a few on a RES. 6poundbass was hammering them on a Rage swimmer. He caught more than me so he was happy.

Did you upgrade your phone to a jitterbug? It’s getting about that time you start thinking about one. ?

At the rate Humminbird is going you could save a penny a day and you’ll have enough by the time they release it. ?

I’ll bet well paid too! Better be anyways.

Welcome back, it’s sure been quite awhile. Now we just need to track down @tipptruck1

I remember watching a KVD video back in February or March where he said he was going to have MEGA Live before a certain event and obviously that never happened so something went seriously wrong at some point.

It only exists on the internet. Lol The pros were supposed to get theirs a few months back, but that never happened. The release date was pushed back a few times and now there isn’t a new release date that I’m aware of. Some vendors have taken deposits and some die hard Humminbird guys have put deposits down on a unit that virtually doesn’t exist. Strange times for sure. ?

Maybe I’m just lucky but the only time I’ve waited over a week and a half for a TW order was Black Friday last year. My last order was a few weeks ago (Dobyns rod) and it took less than a week from the Georgia warehouse. I always just do the free shipping.

I’ll pass on that job! That’s a pretty cool pic. Having worked in the utility field for 11 years I’ve hoped to see this in person by now but I’m still waiting.

There’s still a ton of it here and I drive over the horse crap almost every night on my way home from work. ?

Welcome from the middle of the state in Montcalm county.

Thanks Paul. That was date night last Friday and that picture was taken after the sun went down. Mrs. 12poundbass is Bassresource camera shy (though I don’t know why) so that’s what you get. ? Congrats to you two as well. You better cash a check Friday . ?

15 years married today. How time flies!
