Wow amazing bass! Congrats for an awesome 2023 season!

Lift weights. 5 miles every other day on stationary bike. Kettlebell works outs. Calisthenics. Band and slamball workouts. Lots of core workouts for degenerative disc and L4 herniation. Always been super active but arthritis is creeping in pretty early at 40. Going to work on mobility and muscle imbalances for 2024 and hopefully move into a pdl kayak.

Some rules are meant to be bent or broken. When I was a meter reader we would have to go to some very remote areas without cell service. A response from the sherrif would take easily over an hour and half to two. The 9mm always went along hidden. What they don't know won't hurt them. Gun free policy is asinine.

Enjoying the cooler AZ weather and rocking the M&P 4" Compact Optics Ready. Transitioning to red dot in the near future. Probably the trijicon rmr type 2.

Such a bad feeling when you are paddling as hard as you can and gain inches. White caps coming into a kayak. Reckon I'm getting older now and the mind still writes checks the body can't cash from time to time.

New Years day I was caught in some gnarly winds in the kayak and white caps. Came in super fast. No PFD. Pucker factor 7/10. Almost lost a rod and reel setup. Couldn't paddle hard enough to beat the wind and was stationary for probably 15 minutes. I pulled a muscle in my left lat. My right forearm was cramping locking out before I finally got around the point to get to my truck. This is a good topic and will be ordering a quality pfd again. I don't know if I could have made it if I capsized. I've always had the mindset to make it home for my kiddo. Conceal carry, firearms proficiency, medical training ect. but no pfd. Seriously logic flaw. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe she's born with it? Maybe it's Maybelline?

Berkley havoc pit boss. Senko weightless. Discontinued but if you can find them or similar the jackall I shad. Honorable mention the biffle bug.

Not enough. Had to move out away from my wife. NEVER let a family member with fentanyl and meth addiction move in with you.

Large swimbait or glide bait. Skipping a jig or underspin with keitech. Drop shot if they are finicky

Local shop finally started carrying owner flashy swimmers. Wanted to try one out.

Fish more. Travel and fish new waters. Learn jigging and flutter spoons, the A-rig, and use spinning gear more.

When you die you don't want grandkids and great grandkids sorting through your gear talking about how grandpa was a Neanderthal pairing cheap rods/expensive reels or vice versa. Make them both nice 😁

Definitely worth it. Massive largemouth there. There's always a chance of a PB. I was told last year Game and Fish electro shocked a 17lb largemouth.

Digitaka actually had 7:1.1 Zillion SV in stock! It's a friggin miracle been checking for weeks 😆

Daiwa Fuego LT 59.99 paired with a Laguna will be about $100 before tax. I dislike spinning too but they are definitely a necessary skill set to utilize. A good drop shot rod will not be as good for shakey heads and small t rigs to drive the hook home. Embrace the spinning set up and have a drop shot/Ned set up a.d another for your shakey heads ect.

I have never caught a fish over 1lb on a whopper plopper or buzzbait.

I don't know but now I am going to listen to Peter Gabriel's sledgehammer song.

Bass have more rod cells in their eyes vs cone cells which detect color. Some of the most beat up lures catch fish. I think we as fishermen put too much emphasis on color.

I'm with Scott. Most rod eyes are ceramic and braid shouldn't wear them down. You would need something with a harder rockwell rating to wear against it.

Awesome Mike I will give it a try! I injured my wrist and hand about a year and a half ago and bowling with thumb fully in aggravates it. I will try a few adjustments to see if I can get it to work out.

Feel better soon and keep grinding! It's great to see people putting in work and keeping big pharma away!

Are you supplementing anything for joint health and longevity? I started collagen, glucosamine, fish oils and turmeric to help with creaking joints and pain. Awesome work and physique!

I throw right 4 step. Conventional grip with my thumb half in to get a decent hook.I actually did decent my third game yesterday and was my highest game of the night. I really need to work on consistency and study more.

Has anyone fished the SS SV103 and the Alphas SVTW 800? The SS SV is getting tired and was wondering how the Alphas would handle skipping weightless senkos spring and little jerkbaits now.
