Caught this 4 pounder out at Pomme De Terre, during the club tourney classic.  Was our only keeper that day.  Won some money for big bass day.  Caught 3 keepers the next day, but ended the day in last place out of 4 boats.

No, no, no!  You're young so you haven't learned how to use words.*

It should be: "ended the day in 4th place."

 

(* = one of my managers wanted a weekly status report from each of his employees.  We all learned how to be creative, yet truthful.)

It rained a lot, so I took my shoes off, which were soaking wet.  I was wet all day long.

 

 

What's really sad happened at the tournament that was going on at the same time.  People were weighing in and then would come up the boat ramp and just dump their fish, no helping 'em or nothing.  One guy went right up to the dock and dumped his fish and left 'em, all but one died.  I spent 10 minutes on the boat ramp trying to get a two pounder to swim away with out going belly up, he ended up dying too.  Really ticked me off that people wouldn't take care of/respect the fish that won them some money, just left 'em to die. ?  All of the fish from our four boats swam away healthy.

Good job young man. Hopefully some of the others will follow your example. ????

That's very commendable of you..good to see you young guys respecting the resource. Sadly some people never learn this and abuse everything with this crazy sense of entitlement. Don't let them influence you in any way...your on the right track keep doing your thing.

I don't see how you spend all that money, and go out for hours to kill all of your fish.  If there is a fish in my box, it's getting checked on and baby every second.  Thank you!

One of my favorite ways to catch em is by burning a spinnerbait. The bite is hard to explain, it’s like running into a wall! This river smallie was a hair over 4#. 

Also, my apologies for the awkward moustache! Just experimenting a bit ?

She a beauty. But I have to ask about your favorite way to fish burning spinnerbaits with a handle like Finessegenics. ??

To be honest, I have no idea how I came up with the name and why I stuck with it. It’s kinda ugly lol! But I do have a ML rod with a 1/16 oz ballhead and various plastics tied on 75% of the time ?

Nothing special from me, but still some fish. Better than nothing, it's a struggle to go fishing anymore. Got a promotion yay, only 4 days a month off boo. Two tiny bass caught on bass color strike king ocho 5 inch dipped in chartreuse jjs magic, next small bass caught on a duo apex ghost firetiger squarebill, lost a 15-17

One when it came to the surface and did it's beautiful upside down head shake. I knew that was coming when it came to the surface. The last one was caught on a pop r in red eye perch color, not too bad. Well good luck to everyone who is still at it, have a good one.

Get a promotion and have to work more? That seems like the opposite of a promotion to me.

We took a spur of the moment trip that had us crossing most of the rivers in Alabama...but no time to fish. When we got home yesterday my wife asked me run to the store to get some milk. I was itching to fish so I heard, "You have about 30 minutes of daylight left. Do you want to go fishing? Grab a gallon of milk on your way home." ?

 

I hit a fishing spot "on the way" to the store. I caught a couple on a red bug worm before dark. I did remember to get milk on the way home so all is well. ?

More spinnerbait bass (Accent) on mono from the local reservoir yesterday...and I was able to crop out the holey jeans so I don't offend anyone  Cold front coming through over the next 24 hours should make the bite better once water cools a bit more.

Yesterday we were running 66-67, down from the low 70s the week before. We have had very little cold weather, so we are running above normal for this time of year.

Right on. We have had cold weather here...I'd guess we are mid 50s.

I get paid more money and can move up to a supervisor position from it lol. I also get double time on Sunday.

Fair enough. I'm starting a new position on November 1st. Moving up from plant tech 3 to lead plant technician and will be working directly with the day shift supervisors. My current schedule is I work 36 hours one week and 48 the next...12 hour shifts. My new hours will be Mon-Fri 7-330. I will have less overall days off but it will be nice to fish 7 days a week or mow after work instead of getting home at 730. To offset the loss of overtime they also threw some money at me. And they told me my hours are flexible so if I wanna come in early and leave early or work 4 10s sometimes and take a 3 day weekend that's cool. Couldn't really say no to it. Beats having to be there weekends, holidays and 15 hours on shutdowns.

Congratulations, yeah I have heard that a lot of people like the 12 hour shift schedule like that.

I didn't mind it as it gave me alot of days off. But after 8 years of working holidays weekends and 65-75 hour weeks over shutdown it ran its course. I'm thankful to be back to 8 hr shifts.

Congrats to you as well..hope it works out good for you.

I can relate.  I just went back to working weekends only after busting my hump in the ER during the pandemic.
