I've got a tray of the Gary Glitter Manns that are patiently waiting to see the H2O LOL Rick

LMAO I always changed the radio station when ABBA came on hence my lack of understanding Cheers Rick

ABBA - ABBA OMG who knew Cheers

Oh boy I read a great book long ago about a obsessed captain Ahab & his quest for Moby Dick, I in my own way am obsessed with fishing for giant fish. ? The quest is really simple and complex at the same time. The next bite always brings the possibility & makes me fell young at heart. Rick

I agree that giant hatches are great for the fishery, just confounding at times on how to entice them to bite. cheers rick

Thanks great information, I'm fishing lakes for the most part 90--10 lakes to rivers. we have had a giant hatch here in central Canada I'm located just north of the minn - North Dakota state line. Surface water temps are anywhere from 76 to 84 degrees. Im going to try a fly behind a floating rap. Let us know how you fair on your upcoming adventure. good luck Rick

Thanks for the video

WOW I once heard that no good deed go unpunished. Looked painful with the hook & the poor young raccoon getting separated from his mom. cheers

? I go out by myself & take my lures that I hardly if ever use & force myself to try them. Funny how they usually work if I work them. cheers rick

Hi, just looking for a little help in getting bite in the midst of a mayfly hatch any go to baits or style of presentation that seems to get the bass to bite? A tad perplexed Rick

I'm rigging up a wacky rig rod & a niko rig rod to give them both a honest try both with #2 hooks. That means more than 10 minutes of not catching a fish and not changing back to my go to baits. :-)) Rick

Great information on hook size and type of bait, and FOW. what size of line do you use on your set ups? Is it braid or floro? thanks Rick

I'm sitting here LMAO??? I've been on both sides of this 1 have to think of all the time my parents had to have unconditional love for me changing sh***ty diapers potty training comforting me when I'll. My attitude of gratitude & zero expectations of them allowed me to enjoy them. My dad is gone now & id trade a lot to have another day with him. Don't let your attitude ruin your what is & what might have been. cheers rick

Hi James, Its great to get your opinion on a variety of topics. My question for you is Hiw much if any lure modification if any do you do? Cheers Rick

Beautiful fish A-Jay & thanks for the tip ? I'll be visiting the bait monkeys. ??? this is a 51.5" beauty

I struggle to use big $$$$ baits , they get taken by toothy critters up here in the north. :-)) Rick

Welcome to B.R. & tight lines rick

Please accept my heart felt condolences on your devastating loss. Praying Rick

Have too agree & I learned to pay way more attention to the line itself on this site. cheers

Being a finess walleye guy for many years allowed me to learn that slightest tic or the light bait is even lighter than it should be. SET THE HOOK mentally really what do you have to lose but a fish. Lol my 2 cents Rick

I just wanted to post a very sincere thank you to the people of Bass Resouces . The unparalled details that are posted on a how to & results of doing so have helped me in my bass quest. I in turn don't ever take credit for using methods that I have learnt on this great forum. I recommend B.R. to the people that I fish with. i was very fortunate to win my bass club championship in 2019 & acknowledged B.R. as being my partner in fishing. Sincerely Rick

Great toads to look at ? I will pay attention & try some of the cranks mentioned in 2020 as I can see clearer now?

CLASSIC ROCK & not the candy type PoPo either Cheers

My apology I took the bait lol and said over 10 lbs in part on account of me fishing Stugeon Bay & saw 4 s.m. Over 8 lbs. Cheers Rick

Hard to believe only 7+ as Great Lake Smallmouth get over 10 pounds congrats for setting a new record cheers
