Way to go figuring out that bite. Too bad about the strong winds and heat.

With more videos coming out in past 24 hrs., it's looking more like something was amiss. Cops confronting him and backing down on the roof, and not firing warning shots, SS having a bead on his head but told not to fire, folks standing around screaming at local cops pointing to shooting crawling on ...

Free or SUPER EXPENSIVE!

Fisheromen told me about the digital scale from China on eBay, was like $1.99, works great. Not to own one? PRICELESS. I order 3 at a time, they get lost, break, etc., nice to have backup, just in case.

We (some posters here) usually have fun grossly underestimating weights when folks catch a ...

PPPS I would have tied a string on the fish (made a 'stringer') and kept it in the lake til someone came along w/ a scale, fish like that don't come along but once in a lifetime for most bass fishermen. In fact, very few ever get on over 6 or 7 (southern states heavier overall of course).

sweeeeet.

Thought of that last Wed. when I went, but stuck w/ top. Did get the stripe off after four hours, then got two more last hour of day.

Nice meeting you and fun fishing next to you for an hour or so. Thanks for the small popper lure. I caught a lot on it.

Also got the jerk bait working and the bootleg frog got in on the Action too.

Nice running in the double digit Kevin also. We were fishing Buster by the boat dock for an hour ...

Fun times.

Or it was a 6 inch bass that only got half the worm in his mouth. That happens too. Be careful waiting for the second tap, especially jig fishing, that’s usually the fish exhaling the bait!

Great job, as usual.

VERY cool footage of Steve Kennedy fishing day 2 of the Bassmaster Elite series at Smith Lake a couple of days ago. At 24.5 minutes he'll explain, and show, how he catches two bass in short order w/ FFS. Too cool, and glad he took the time to show us, makes worth watching, as only hear them talk ...

I know most of the field of bass fishermen w/ boats has FFS, but I don't. So I'm not used to seeing how cool it is.
It's totally new ballgame, and if you don't have it, and fish tourneys, you're just donating. One good thing, the price on them will come down, supply and demand, thank you.

Being a ...

Was slow for me too. I took over as you left. Only got three compared to 18 last week. Had an additional six hits that didn’t stick, frogs, bootleg frogs, and whoppers.

Someone just asked that a week or two ago. Here you go.

Every few years we get a few new fishermen on here that could use this knowledge.

Half of the patterns we use to catch Bass involve the bait getting swallowed. A hook is caught in the gut of the bass, making it hard to remove. If you just pull it straight out you’re killing the fish. There’s a ...

Didn’t know it got that hot. Was a little slower than normal for me and couldn’t get in as far back as I usually do, so my numbers were lower. I have honey holes that always produce! Clouds came in and made it very pretty.

Good job, glad you got the stripe off your tube...
Spook? Did someone say Spook? What's a Spook?

I pride myself with having so many various lures from the decades of fishing all over my garage, house, boat and even in my kayak...but
I have never had a flying fish type of bait or a bait with wings. Oh wait...I got it.... I guess it is called a Pompadour. That bait is crazy looking and even ...

Sweeeet, well done.
