Big Bites You Missed

[.ghoti.]

Anyone who bass fishes will experience laps of concentration that cost lost opportunities. We remember the big ones that got away more vividly than the bass we catch and the lost bass get bigger with time.

Too true, man, too true. It happens to all of us. I can't say how many times I've been distracted and missed one. Too may to count, I know. Might have been a deer coming down to the water. May have been a dear in a bikini.

One thing I take away from the experience is the thought that now I know where a big one spends at least some of her time. You can bet I'll be back there during similar conditions.

I sprained my wrist on a HAWG in the JUNK on the Big O last year. I was using 65lb braid on a hvy action All Star Big Boy rod when he hit about 40 yards away, knocked me out of commission for 3 weeks to a month.

That would of had to been one serious bite. Or maybe your just a limp wrist lol. I am just kidding though im sure your no wuss. That's one of the reason though I have really tried to step my game up using things like spinners and cranks I just love getting bites where they just smash the bait. It is more exciting to me then a little tiny tap tap on a jig or piece of plastic. Although I absolutely love jig fishing I consider it to be a highly skill full technique.

My friend swears by Adderall when he really needs to focus on something. He said it's insane the amount of work you can get done on it because it just makes you focus for hours.

This stuff is no joke.

Adderall is a brand name of amphetamine salts–based medication used for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy. It is a brand-name psychostimulant medication composed of racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate, which are all amphetamine salts. It is thought to work by increasing the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. In addition, the drug also acts as a potent dopamine reuptake inhibitor and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is available in two formulations: IR (Instant Release) and XR (Extended Release). The immediate release formulation is indicated for use in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, while the XR formulation is approved for use only with ADHD.

Like other stimulant drugs, such as methamphetamine and cocaine, Adderall directly affects the mesolimbic reward pathway in the brain. Amphetamine salts preparations are considered to have high abuse potential, and it is classified as Schedule II by the US DEA.
