You da MAN! Nice overview.

What a day! BTW, If I get to see 'em, they count.

My main river/lake system is about a thousand miles long and I don't like seeing any boat on MY water!

I change out my leader before every trip.

Great product and good value!

I just got mine a few weeks ago and have been waiting to post a review until I fished it extensively on the river. I have mine saddled with a Conquest 100/ #11 Sunline Armilo. In addition to the Jackhammer, this rod will be used with the Bull Shad and RES.

Just put your soft plastic on the hook for weight and that keeps the line tight. If you are tying on a lure the weight of the bait works for you.

Fished my local stocked pond once, about 20 years ago. Not my deal. However, I did catch one of the breeders and gave it to a group of little kids. I told them to draw straws and the winner should tell his mom he caught it.

What do you grow in the winter?

25 lbs is classic, 27-7 is very impressive!

Try the Pitzen Knot. It's a great knot and easy to tie:

Now you've gone too far...

I fish the buoys on the Tennessee River. These generally define the navigational channel. One one occasion I hooked up with my biggest smallmouth ever:

Hmm... I guess it can be done, but it doesn't work for me. Microfishing, a niche sport in which anglers attempt to catch some of the smallest fish possible, is in many ways an old practice by a different name. The sport has its roots in an ancient Japanese form of fishing called tanago, which targets the Tokyo bitterling (tanago in Japanese), a little fish in the carp family.
