IYAOYAS

If you are looking for small spinnerbaits the battle baits minigun us what you want. Hard to get ahold of though as the business is literally one guy working out if his garage but his quality is unparalled.

Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment. I prefer the Spro version. I fish highland reservoirs and the faster I can get my bait down the better. The slower resin for me means it will take longer than the Spro and thus is less efficient. Now that being said I wrap my hooks with lead wire anyways so I guess the point was moot. lol What was I talking about again?🤦‍♂️

Gar is the only thing I've ever caught on a whole dead fish.

Well if you picked Welcher he'll carry your whole team!😂

Dat boy good!

Got up this morning and it was a little cold but tolerable. Sun comes out early and is shining all day. The temperature shoots up into the 60s and it is beautiful. I think to myself "Man what a beautiful day! I believe I'll go give my boat a thorough cleaning top to bottom in preparation for my first tournament of the year next week. I drag out the shop vac and the buckets and hose, turn my phone on to Bassmaster live and get ready to work my butt off. I clean all the trash out of the nooks and crannies and fire up the vacuum. The sun feels good. I get to about 80% done vacuuming and literally in about 30 seconds it gets dark and it was at that time God decided that I don't need the hose to wash out the boat today. He'll handle the water for me. It rains so hard I'm not sure if it is coming up or down. No rain in the forecast no clouds in the sky until just then. I grab my phone and make a mad dash for the front door(which in my age and shape a wandering amble is the best I got). I come in the house and look at the weather app on my phone. 100% chance of rain from 1-3 pm with thunderstorms possible. Literally 3 hours ago it said no rain at all. I think I'm cursed. Anybody else as lucky as me?

I picked Hackney and this is the third time Ive picked him and he let me down. I'm almost mad at him.😂

Fishing lake Cunningham SC in my kayak. It is a very small lake but has some really nice bass in it. 9.9 restricted city lake takes me about 30 minutes to pedal the length of it. The boat ramp is on one end and the dam is all the way at the other with no other public ramps. So it's march. I put in and pedal all the way to the dam. Just before you get to the dam it has a sharp S curve and then opens up. I came around the S curve and as soon as I cleared it into the main dam part my graph lights up with so much bait balls my screen was almost all green. It's still pretty much prespawn so I grab my Arig and begin to work my way around the bank(Its shaped pretty much like a big bowl with the dam on one end of it) Didn't take but just a few seconds before I started seeing schooling bass busting on top. I literally pedaled out to the middle of the bowl and would just wait for them to bust and cast to them. It was electric. Every cast landed a fish(sometimes two) I ended up putting 52 bass in the boat and the smallest one had to have been at least two pounds. Ended up with a 5.5 pounder being the largest and I could barely lift my arms after I was done. Thank God my kayak was a pedal kayak because I wouldn't have been able to paddle home. lol Here's a video of the first fish from that day. Now keep in mind I had just started kayak fishing way back then and I had never really caught any decent bass so I got super excited over this little 2 pounder here and then my mind was blown. Still to this day the best day of fishing ever for me.

I'm the same way.

McKinney riding the struggle bus this morning. Welcher using a crush city Bronco bug. That's one of my FAVORITE TX. Rig baits!!!! Tompkins didn't have a fish 30 minutes ago or so that's what he told Trey.

I will try to find a deal but if I can't I will still buy what I need at the cheapest I can find it.

Y'all crack me up. Worrying about if a rod is American made or not but then will drop LOADS of money on anything from the JDM market you can get your hands on.😂 (I'm guilty of it too!) You mention JDM and BFS in the same sentence and my ears perk up like a German shepherd watchin Narcos on netflix.

Lotta guys scratching their heads after today. Fothergill looks like he might have woke up and decided to make up for his dismal start the first two events. McKinney just blows me away. Don't see too many young men that age that can whack em consistently like that. Me and the wife felt sorry for the boat yard guys. They definitely have their work cut out for them tonight.

I have a tourney next month at Randleman. It's always a tough one for me. Got Norman next week and Badin the week after then the Big R. Good to hear there is some bigs in there cause I never catch anything over 3 pounds on Randleman. lol Congrats!
