12poundbass

That’s pretty darn cool!

I’m not familiar with this, what does this do?

You can create your own maps with the Garmin units.

I’ve never really paid attention to the ‘ejection handle’ if you will on a trunk lid, until I was getting something out of our trunk today and I have to admit it made me chuckle.

Not only can he find them, he can adapt to any format he’s fishing. Bottom line, Jacob Wheeler will be the greatest angler of all time! He may not have all the accolades of a KVD or a Rick Clunn because of the format changes (maybe this will be the new normal) but he will have won more money and more trophies than any out there. The guy is a strait up fishing machine and loves ever minute of it!

Only use one of the centrifugal brakes (the internal brake), crank the magnetic brake all the way to zero, and fine tune your spool tension knob, and watch your lure fly. It takes a while to get it tuned in just right. If you add more than one centrifugal brake your casting distance goes to nothing. If you don’t use them, it seems you’ll backlash no matter what you do with the other brakes. Hope this helps.

10.5 hours and counting.

I think there were around 20-30 BPT guys who aren’t fishing the FLW.

Did you get a new boat?

Congrats on the new PB!

Holy cow, I thought you retired and rode off into the sunset, it’s been forever since you posted!

Happy with them yes, wishing and wanting bigger absolutely. Any chance you can wait until they get more 9’s? The Echomap units are absolutely great, but I don’t want you to be wishing a couple months down the road you got a bigger unit.

Are your gift cards for a certain place?

How big are your lakes? As you probably already know the Striker units don’t have preloaded maps but have QuickDraw so you can make your own, which if your lake is huge, could take you quite a bit of time to do. On the other hand if your lake is smaller in size or your spots you fish you know pretty well you could use QuickDraw and make your own and have a 9” screen to boot! I have two 7” Echomap units and I can’t wait to upgrade to 9” units. Hope this helps.

How far south is Menderchuck south? Every time you two head there, the New England accents turn to southern accents. ? Nice work you two. Those are some nice pro hooksets by Lynn!

Congrats

Nice work!

Went out early this morning to a lake down the road. The brown bass didn’t cooperate, but 6poundbass caught this largemouth. Came home the sun popped out and we fished in our back yard and he managed another. I got skunked for the day. Oh well, I enjoy watching him get excited.

A simple purchase but a big purchase. My last Pad Crasher (about 10 years old) was forced into retirement, I’m keeping that thing a lot of good memories with it over the years. Since retiring the old one I’ve tried others in my box, Lunker Hunt, scum frog (I do like it), but none compared to the Pad Crasher. I finally found one after going to three local stores. Nothing compares to the Pad Crasher at all. A little trim of the tails and she’s ready to go!

We went out early this morning. The weather was ok at first, then the wind picked up and a brief shower rolled in. This was the only catch of the day, wrong color bass but it was a bass. We saw a giant lake trout swim by us, but wanted no part of what we were offering. All in all we had fun.

My private lake has been pretty quiet! ? When 6poundbass and I go out to public lakes we start very early and off by 11 am, that’s when the no wake hours ends.

It’s happened to me before a few times. I never got an explanation why, but I PM’d a mod and they fixed it.

A slow day in Chicago?
