Hey somebody has to pay for those diamond studded earrings?

There is a beautiful poem that related Baseball to the changing seasons..... Something like when Baseball season starts, it coincides with all the beauty emerging from winter in nature, and when Baseball finally ends, the darkness of winter descends upon us, and everything dies back for the winter. I remember reading it right after the Braves won last year and can't remember a poem hitting home as well as that one. Dang I wish I could find it.

Just watched a crazy video about an epic Bass cheater of recent history....dude actually didn't officially cheat while cheating to the Nth degree. He used the rules to hide behind. Apparently, his truck and boat were still shot up though. He held fish in a kiddie pool with a small cut in the lid.....would flip a jig into the hole to fish that haven't ate in a week, and pull out a 20lb bag on a single dock lol

Ol Jonnie boy ?

Felt like two teams going in opposite directions.....magic is everything when the air gets snappy, could Braves catch it again, I'm ready for another magical ride that's for sure.

Tag....we have a similar setup, and I really love this 9sv unit. I purchased it solely on recommendations here. The lake I was buying it for is several hundred acres, but is private, not going to show up on a maps package. Perfect unit for me in a Jon boat. Had to upgrade to a real smartphone recently that is the size of a footlong sub, but now I want to do this stuff with my unit.

Only time I've backlashed my new Zillion SV TW is ironically when I don't have a lure on at all. If I just cut a bait off and barely pull that naked line.....that reel will backlash every time. First set and forget reel I've owned, I couldn't grasp the concept growing up using the drop test until it stops without backlashing. That said, it's brillantly simple in execution. Works just like that.....set, forget it, and use the dial for any adjustments besides a thumb

CALIFORNIA SAYS THAT CAUSES CANCER....REEEeeeeeee ?

This game is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a Bass eater is all I know, but one angler should always respect another angler

This makes me sad, and @WRB has done a fantastic job of laying out why the lake/s of my childhood dreams are not what they were. I'd still love to fish Pine Flat Lake, but it sounds pretty slow, and not the same as it was either. Still a DD Spot is only second to a WR LGM in my book. I can't even fathom a 10lb Alabama Spot. It would seemingly pull the boat around.

I just paid $234 total for a Zillion SV TW 1000. I'd be buying another one tom if I didn't have other big holes I wanted to fill with the JDM steal-athon. Seriously, everything is a steal. The most high end stuff is the biggest discounted stuff. Daiwa's flagship spinning real is like 550 JDM.....same real is 900+ USDM

That is crazy, never seen a Spot that looked like that. Caught some largemouths with rough patches on tongues that made me think they were a hybrid though. @TnRiver46 Is the man on birds, got that big Pelican type beak

Lol, don't lie, you stuffed weights down the throat of the measured fish ? Awesome fish, great job!

Lol, I knew the story went viral when it was being posted on my gun forums....dudes are finished and rightfully so. I just hope they have to pay some type of restitution to the victims, of which there are many.

Imho, major Bass fishing circuits like the MLF and BASS will never have a format besides weight. It's like if MLB decided to change how they measure homeruns or something. When you don't account for girth in Bass fishing, you are truly only getting half the story and size of the fish.

Goes to show you how nationally important and viewed this series is. Big Fox Saturday Baseball game, and now the ESPN Sunday night Baseball game. I hope my thoughts in a few replies earlier don't play out that way, but Bassett has shown to be the only stopper in the rotation the last month. On the other hand, it's not a day game which improves the Braves chances by 50% in general. Morton just got paid $20 million two days ago, and if he can command the slider.....Braves might just put a stake through their hearts tonight.

They win today is all but over, and the Mets will have out Met's themselves ? Fish are sitting Sandy A for the rest of the year too.....imagine how mad that must make the Mets

You got to hand it to modern day elite (same type of money these two crooks swindled folks and sponsors out of) Bass tourney circuits. It's not easy to cheat in a major Bass tourney anymore I'd imagine with lie detectors, monitors, many times camera crews.....just way more eyes and scrutiny it seems on Bass fishing tourneys. I read in the early days of Bass folks were caught stuffing weights though. I'm not a tourney guy and this is just based on TV observations.

Bingo on it all. The first point is exactly what I ended up doing, and actually appreciate having it that way now. My main group of 27 for the TM has to come out each time to charge, but I can go a bunch of times before the group of 24 running the 9sv even drops to 12.8v on the screen. The idea of the backup battery is really big for me on an electric only lake that is border line too big for at least one 50lb TM . Hoping for a new decked boat with front mounted TM, and then a rear TM for long hauls. LOL.....I'm one lazy first world fisherman

It'll turn around pal, it always does knowing you even if I said one month from now, you couldn't wait....you're like a kid in a candy shop but instead of candy it's super dark lunkerheads ?

The whole dead fish weigh in thing certainly allows for it.....one would assume every fish would get cut open by an official, but I'm wrong obviously

That first one is for sure the Debil....and the last one you posted is quite curious. Has some Spot qualities to it, but overall looks like a Smallie. Beautiful fish as always! I caught a nice Debil right at dusk, and caught several more Bass, but the bite has been brutal the last two days since we got a bump in low pressure, and increase in heat. I got a double crown with a Crappie cherry on top......can I play?? Downsizing big time is the only way I've gotten fish the last two days. Mini Max took the nice Spot along with another chunk Spot, and a Flashback mini took the LGM and another small Spot. 4 fish all on Chatterbait types. The chatterbait is the only other lure that competes with a 6" Roboworm when it comes to keeping that skunk out of the boat for me. Look at how small of a profile this Mini Max makes with a 3" Armor Shad, and dipped chartruese tail.....able to throw a 1/2oz bait with a profile that size. Looks just like that baby bream size.

Congrats on the pig, but you know it would have been a bigger fish had you used mono/fluorocarbon....say it with me, "no serious Bass fisherman only use braid" ?

That's crazy, this is the most ridiculously bold case of cheating in fishing I've seen
