If you'd cheat this extensively in a fishing tournament, I don't think anything is off the table for such a vile person. He deserves to spend at least a decade with men exactly like himself, except meaner, and tougher.

Yeah I don't either, and I don't think it should be banned on this level.....however at some of the smaller levels where every angler can't afford 10k in electronics, I think it should be banned just to level the playing field in small events.

100%....said this a few times now in different threads....if Livescope gets banned in Bass fishing, it will be because it's just too boring to watch the Northern Smallmouth events where every angler is doing the same thing, staring at the same pod of big offshore Smallies on the scope. Top 10 brings in a 20lb bag each day. ETA: Merged replies/separate reply I grew up going to Bassmaster Classic weigh ins at the Birimingham BJCC.....it was epic at least in my memory, always sold old, big dog and pony show. They'd wheel those beautiful Comanches around the court and then stop at the weigh in stage. It was very professional. Very cool as a kid to watch those things.

Wow, that's just incredible! Absolute eye candy. Agreed with you when I'm picking them out of all the Yaupons, and various other bushes ? Not to mention having to pressure wash in the spring from all the staining the leaves do on the driveway.

Man those are some gorgeous trees, for not being a tree hugger, I love me some trees ?

Would have taken everything in my power to not give that guy a piece of my mind. I don't understand why folks don't understand giving others a wide birth when in nature. I go well out of my way to avoid fishing near others, even when they are fishing a place I had pre planned too. Hope he got skunked, and lost a bunch of Japanese baits lol

Awesome, I know we got some teal on the lake, but never seen such a huge flock of ducks on the lake like this. The other day a couple of Ducks very similar to these were going underneath the water for 3-5secs, and then popping up 10-15 yds away seemingly. Very cool, and again they wouldn't let me get close enough for a shot. Really appreciate your help as always. Nice to know what critters are out there.

Mommy, make the Chatterbait monkey stop.....please mommy!!!!!!!!!! The Keitech 4" are a big no go on MiniMaxs FWIW. 3" Paddletails work, but a swim tail is best I'm finding. Anybody ever bother sending a single bait back to TW? The CFL Football head model arrived with it's head chipped in 4 or 5 different places. Not sure I want to go through the hassle for $5. One other thing, finally got around to getting a few JackHammers and to my surprise just like every other Chatterbait branded product I've bought which is seemingly all of them.....Made in China appears on the back. China can make quality stuff, but I want USA or Japan for the price these commanded. Oh well, if they work 3x better than the other models I currently use, I'll keep buying them.

I suspected today was going to be slow with low pressure and strong storms having just passed by, and so I willed it to be so ? Caught 4 and it was a beautiful day, still a winning scratcher in my book. That poor Spot had some kind of crazy sore on it's tongue, wasn't anything lodged in there as I tried to pull it out.....I'm sure it hated me extra at that point lol. Tried a Crank, and Jerkbait, but only the 7" Roboworm and a Minimax in 1/2oz Gizzard Shad produced. ETA: Saw a Blue Heron eat a 8-10" fish which I strongly suspect was a little Spot. I've seen the ones that got away, many in fact, but never one that got eaten. This bird took it down in one clean swallow. Impressive birds. @TnRiver46 Can I get an ID on this flock of small Ducks.....couldn't get any closer. They were flying and swimming as a single flock. Looked to be mostly brown, and again small in size.

Skills, you got them. This is why I'm buying a decked pond boat.....I don't have these skills.

Excellent gents, I will check him and these 3.2 models out. Thanks for the info. It's well packaged stuff, which we all know is critical to the Tackle Monkey...it has to catch the monkey before it can catch a Bass ?

Never heard of that company before, but that mule minnow 3.2 sounds fantastic for a MiniMax trailer.

Knew you would, just seems like a place you'd love. I'm already looking at getting another Bass boat so I can fish these bigger lakes. I just miss being on a Bass boat.

LOL.....I can't be the only one that hates putting on new baits, and then putting baits back into storage, can I???? If I'm changing lots of baits, I'm having a bad day. As a kid I remember throwing literally everything in the tacklebox ? I mean I want to be like you, but I also think you need to seek help immediately ?

Never fished it personally, but always heard it was a bigger Crappie lake than Bass lake. A guy like you would crush it on the Coosa River impoundments down here in central AL.

Haha, I wish I smuggled all those Guntersville hogs ? We're blessed in terms of Bass fishing in Alabama, not the best state, but I'd say it's in the top 5 easily. Alabama has also contributed heavily to Bass fishing history, and where it's currently at today. We are likely close in age then, I grew up dreaming of that lake, reading everything I could about it in the Bass rags. It's tragic, but I'm far from surprised given where those once magical lakes are located. That state has a tragic history of handling it's natural resources, including modern day.

KNOCK, KNOCK ?

The whole world hates the Astros outside of a few people in Houston ? I'll take Strider over a known Charlie at this point. Strider destroys the Philles. Man I hope he's healthy, and his stache game in on point

Lol, I wanted to grab that color at TW with my recent order....no bueno, my local shop today, no bueno. Anyways I've done some trial and error with trailers, and unlike bigger ones, these are very temperamental to get on plane if you are using something longer than 3" I've found, and if it has a strong action like most paddletails, that equally messes up the action I've found. The Armor Shad 3" is dynamite I've found. Won't look like much, but that's the mission with these after all. Big fish will still blow up such a tiny bait. Caught a fattie on the gizzard shad with 3" Armor Shad a few days back Damiki Armor Shad Soft Jerkbaits - Tackle Warehouse

Thanks pal, wonder if our drought that only ended today contributed to that. You are right though odd how ours are changing at the same time.

great win.....on to philly

AYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S GET IT MATTY ICE That's what up brother, putting that ball in play. Contact wins in October eta: wow they are breaking it open like a pipe that had built up pressure for hours, and then just burst 2 out Braves as usual

He's always epic in big games.....absolutely incredible catch. He makes it look easy. PAY THAT MAN! If Acuna is hurt, Harper gets it next inning!!!!!!!!??

100%.....been their Achilles heel all year....the K and not being able to hit for contact and work counts. Wright is getting stronger knock on wood

I thought it was gone off the bat. At this rate Wheeler could pitch a complete game. I think Wright is going to have come out after the 7th
