Okay, I'm going to go try an Axe Blade today. We'll see if Maine bass really, really want it. If they truly do, they'll bust through the ice to reach it.

I have wasted plenty of money on lures I have never fished, but $12 seems like a lot

for a blade bait...I guess I will just buy two...

I'm so excited to fish that bog. I'm going to spend a night on one of those islands so that I can fish deep into the dark and then begin again in the dark.  

 

Alex, I'm so glad you feel supported by your peers/pals at Bass Resource, but if you keep catching more and bigger fish, you won't have any fishing peers anymore!

Pretty tough to hang with the Alabamaslamma. The man boats five fish limits with two casts for cryin out loud.

I've caught a lot of fish on an A rig, and a lot of doubles, but I've never caught a double on an A-rig, let alone a triple, that's pretty crazy. I've heard they're changing the law here from 2 hooks on the rig, to the full 5 this year

We aren't allowed to have more than one with a single hook here in MN on an A-rig.  So catching more than one fish is literally impossible, because it's illegal.

 

The other minnows can be there on the rig, they just can't have any hooks.  "Decoys" if you want to call them that.

"Alabamaslamma."

 

I like that, All-knowing Giver of Nicknames.

LOL. Alex started it with that Braided Wonder business. ? Not that it's not appropriate. I have three baitcasters with mono on them, and another dozen and a half or so spooled with braid. 

[Swamp Girl]

21 baitcasters??? Whoa! And 18 with braid? You are the Braided Wonder. 

 

Seriously impressed,

P. S. - However, you are not this braided Wonder and thank goodness for that:

LOL. Sorry, that was a gross underestimate. Your comment prompted me to go count. I have 35 baitcasters, 32 with braid. 9 spinning reels. Like 55-60 rods, I'm not counting all those, some are in storage up in the rafters of the garage. 

 And yes, thank The Lord, I'm not THAT braided wonder!!! ?

Even on this very cold day,

you just made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside of myself. 

Thank You my friend.

Tim stacks deep on only the essentials, guns and tackle.  When I grow up I'm going to have collections just like his ?

 

"That sonofagun, braided wonder" was the first thing that went through my mind when he went on his recent epic big Musky tear, and I was like yeah I'd fish braid too ?

You and me both Katie, that's one of the coolest fishing holes I've seen!

Nice video Alex your enthusiasm really shines when you hook up. 

Thanks so much for that Dwight, that's a real compliment coming from a hammer such as yourself!

Talk about taking a bait that puts the advantage in the angler's corner squarely to a bait that puts the angler at a huge disadvantage.

 

Must be an artform trying to get the fish to key in on one specific bait with 4+ baits surrounding it.

Honestly, I've never even tried one.  Given that I'm restricted to one single hook, there are better options to fish with IMO.

Took my papaw’s old 1957 boat out today, still floats. No trolling motor, just anchored up with the right wind and dragged a tube. Got a smallie just under 18” and a beautiful sunset , not bad for 4-6 pm. Going upstream for some big LM in standing timber tomorrow evening, that’s why I brought the stump jumper boat

A nice fish and a beautiful sunset in a retro ride...not bad. Good luck on the bucket mouth hunt.

Thanks buddy, here’s a look at the area I scouted earlier this week. I think it’s better in the spring but I’m going to make sure, never been there. It was 22 degrees this morning so that swift water was cold but it’s warming quickly with 50 degree sunny afternoons

Yes sir

Been away for a while, but I got some nice 5+lber smallies last time I was out pre-winter.

I bought three Damiki Axe Blades.

I love this thread.   Beautiful pics, incredibly cool boat and connection, and good luck tomorrow with the LM!
