"Is there anything in this vessel that shouldn't be?"

The authoritative crack of a 2oz egg sinker punching through the cowling on a jetski.

Eagles are flying trash cans. They're basically turkey buzzards with better PR.

Tennesee's at the far northern end of their range, yeah.

Skunk apes crashing through the underbrush while they hunt.

Misusing the equipment begets making stupid decisions with the equipment, and vice versa, and so forth.

@ol'crickety I'm into that. Everybody here drives like they're being chased by the cops anyway.

For whatever it's worth, I can't think of a single time I've had a good catching day when I see the bait that active.

They'll never take me alive.

@TnRiver46 I gave it a mighty yeet to get it back into the water. Also I think it was illegal, cause I caught it right next to the boat ramp on Topside, near a sign that explicitly says I'm not allowed to be doing that.

Since we didn't wrap at the office until almost 11 last night, I stole a couple hours for myself this morning.

Excellent.

I hope I get bass thumb one day.

I'm fishing less because all I do right now is work. Also black goes with everything. They'll work.

I pretty much use them interchangeably. I keep a few of each in 3/0, and whatever I grab out of that compartment will do what I need it to do. If I'm fishing water with a lot of snot in it, I might look for an offset round-bend specifically to minimize the keel that the hook shank creates, in the hopes that I'd drag back fewer boogers, but that's about it. About the only way I fish with them hooks is unweighted worms or the like.

Plus it's not like anybody charges you to test a battery. So it's smart AND free.

@The Baron CDI Electronics makes pretty good charging hardware for Mercs. That's what we put on @TnRiver46's rig. If I read this right, your regulator ought to be part number 194-2115K. You can get it on Amazon straight from CDI.

It's as if you know the water you fish better than a rando on youtube.

I don't think anybody actually read the post. The saw the title and started vomiting ad copy.

Yeah. I miss fishing.

The brindle house gremlin, not content with breakfast (his actual breakfast) and second breakfast (cleaning dishes after the cats had breakfast), is on the hunt for a snack.

Just one time each. Then everybody'll be real mad.

I love the trilene knot. I still maybe have a quarter inch of tag when I'm done.
