Texas Flood

Most of my reels are from JDM accounts on Ebay. I havent had any issues and they actually get to my home faster than TW orders sometimes.

Ive been having some good luck this year throwing a T-Rig 5.5" RI Pocket Rocket in Summer Craw with a closed eye 1/4oz tungsten drop shot weight(Free Rig)

Always weighted because I have zero patience and I like the fall presentation better. I actually started using a tokyo rig for my wacky setup. It's done pretty well so far.

Very jealous

I got the 3/8 rigs and lost both back to back on the same rock pile. Follow me for more in depth reviews..

The hard truth about anxiety and depression is there is no miracle pill or advice that will work for everyone. It's a chemical unbalance in your brain and while meds/weight loss/etc will help most people to different levels, dont feel discouraged if one or all doesnt work for you. Keep it up and stay positive. It's not easy but there are tons of people willing to talk/help or have the same struggles.

I take meds for anxiety and they do help but not all the time. I will say that taking edibles or smoking weed has helped me out so much. My doctor is even ok with it because he says he can tell a difference just talking to me. But like @The1Fist said, CBD oil can help out alot too without getting the high.

Was it a bump or did that lil guy just fart on your bait?

I have a used JDM Daiwa Steez A in 6.3 I got for $225 on Ebay. I love this reel and it casts like a dream.

Fishing a plastic stick bait on the free rig. I started throwing the FR around last year and thought it’d be fun to try it on a senko. I’ve done quite well so far this year. We’ll see how it does in the fall.

Caught a nice size channel cat last weekend using a tokyo rig with a beaver on. That thing stunk!

Looks like something my dog chewed up @TOXIC

If im on the boat with my gear than I'll stay out there regardless. Now if im bank fishing, you aint ever gonna see this fat boy run faster to the truck.

Lews Speed Spool LFS. Best reel Ive used under $100. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lews_Speed_Spool_LFS_Casting_Reel/descpage-LSSCS.html

I actually like gators(my parents had a Caiman when I was a kid) but I prefer to have a 10 finger option instead of 5 for picking my nose.

It's a great photo until you realize there's 47 gators underneath.

I smoke both. Ohhhhh you were talking about the underwater ones.

All their baits seem to tear easier than before. Fished a tournament both days this weekend and I went through 3 bags of sweet beavers. I love RI baits but it might be time to find something more durable.

I haven’t had issues from the guides but I just switched brands because I started getting fray lines by the knot(even lost a fish) I was using FC Sniper but I’m using Tatsu. It’s expensive but I fished a two day tournament this weekend and was getting nervous.

I always thought The Carpenters cover of “Thong Song” by Sisqo was awesome.

Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver. I’ve been using them for the last 15 years even though I hate how they only last after a couple fish. The plus side to them shredding like cheese is they make great jig trailers. I started using the Berkley Maxscent Creature Hawg and I’m liking it so far. I don’t know if the scent stuff works but it does seem like the bass hold on a little bit longer. Colors would be black/red(dirty) green pumpkin/chart(stained) sprayed grass(clear)

Best - roll cast accuracy. I’ve been practicing for a long time Worst - patience. I haven’t been practicing for a long time

I use the Stealth Feider for casting at or around grass and brush piles. Then it’s the Cage Feider for flipping around docks and wood.

My favorite jigs. Tungsten, smaller/slimmer head and they have the best bait keeper. I can live with the price but I usually try to wait until someone has them on sale.
