Tigers dug a deep hole before turning it around. Big win for my Tigers.

That's the main downside of the Dorber OMT's. The limited production runs. Often the entire production run is spoken for before they are made. MY buddy who got me started on these has dibs on 4 of the next batch. One of which I will buy from him. I hope to fish with JP one of these days. He can try one of mine and make sure he likes it, but if he buys one and hates it, I'll buy it from him. I'm not at all convinced that he's gonna like it, but I LOVE them.

Lots of ways to skin that cat. I'm mighty fond of my Dorber OMT 84 UL rods. It says UL but it ain't no buggy whip. Your farming buddy does very well with a rod that I consider WORTHLESS for jig fishing. Apparently it is not complete worthless for that just worthless when I try to jig fish with it. I also use one of Richard Cross's CrossFire rods. I have a Fenwick Elite Tech River Runner headed my way alledgedly, eventually. It is a warranty replacement from Fenwick They didn't make the model I purchased anymore. I think I got the Light instead of an Ultra Light. I'm going to use it for a Ned rod though NOT a trout rod. There are several of these threads about trout jig rods. My luck using the search function varies. You might want to look at those if this thread doesn't provide the answers you seek.

I work with a young lady that spear fishes on Bull Shoals with her family. Once season starts and the thermocline sets up, they will go at least once a week. They work at it and enjoy it every bit as much as I do hook and line fishing. While I don't think it is easy, they generally get fish every time they go. Often getting their limits of walleye for everyone on board. Much like OTF, I fish for every thing. I don't consider "non game species" to be trash fish. My problem with gigging is the tendency for bad apples to gig every fish they can without worrying about what the species AND that modern gear really makes it possible for ppl to gig a LOT of fish in a night. I understand it's a local tradition and I understand that guys have a lot of money tied up in gigging gear, but I still wish it wasn't going on.

Wow. What a tough situation.

Lol. Well done.

Man, it's been really hard for me to stay out of this one.

Yep, The White River can be VERY dangerous. Especially when there is HEAVY generation. The Norfork requires even more caution.

Heck Man, LSU considers Tulane a bigger rival. It isn't about skill level so much as it is about animosity. LSU just doesn't hate the Piggies enough to make it interesting. In "the Golden Boot" era, it's been 12-6 in favor of LSU. Arkansas is often very competitive against LSU and has indeed upset them more times than I would like, but I'd believe in a Muslin Rabbi more than I would that LSU is running scared from Arky. It might be a long range recruiting deal wanting to get LSU in the minds of young TX football talent.

. Ohhhhhhhh Man, you made me laugh out loud. When you get a minute, look up the definition of delusional. The LSU vs Arky rivalry is very one sided in the level of concern. I'm a lifetime LSU fan and an LSU alum. We don't care about the piggies. I wish they moved the game to Week One every year so we could get it over with. LSU considers Alabama, Florida, and Ole Miss to be bigger rivals. There may be back room shananigans going on, but I think the swapping of TAMU for Arky is severely short sighted. TAMU is going to go back to the middle of the pack. No Johnny Football, drop off at o line, and drop off at receivers. I doubt they will finish Top 25.

My Tigers are going to have a bunch of new starters. They recruit well and are well coached. I'm looking forward to watching who steps up. Go Tigers! L-S-U!

JP hooked you up.

I don't consider 30 foot deep ANYMORE. I grew up fishing in Louisiana bayou where anything deeper than 5 foot was deep water Seriously. I don't have the equipment or the knowledge to troll effectively. I think they frequently use down riggers and get DEEP. I don't think most of those fish can be released. I try not to fish much below 35 foot because I want to be able to C&R my fish MOST of the time.

I'm pretty confident Bradford is done with the Rams and likely done in the NFL.

So what would happen if LRF added oil to his gasoline like it was a two stroke instead of a 4 stroke? Would that be enough oil to give the engine the lubrication it needs? Seems like he could drain off the oil from time to time and replace with fresh.

Again, I hope you catch em. There is a Walleye club and Striper Club that share info with each other. They stay on them trolling live bait DEEP. That's not my bag

You won't get in trouble. I'll be shocked if you come close to a limit of anything this time of the year on Norfork. I wish you all the luck in the world, but it's Norfork and the water is > 75 degrees.

I always try to give bank fisherman plenty of room. I've got the option to fish other spots and they most likely do not.

I'd want Mettenberger if TN bumps their head and decides to make someone else the backup QB. He needs to improve in the pocket (less fumbles and less sacks), but has a big time arm. Good team player. .

I have to imagine that the Rams will move on and look in a different direction at QB. They may decide to pick up someone from another team (R.Mallet) or a talented rookie that couldn't beat out an established backup. Sucks though.

That's a bad deal for Sam and the Rams. I hate it for all involved.

I would have thought so, but apparently the AOY won't be determined until the next event. I don't understand, but it's their game.

Another great finish for Kevin Short. kVD misses out on making the Classic.

Thanks for the report. I'd love to make that trip.

It can be incredibly good there. Best when it's been up for a while and is slowly falling out. I have cousins and Uncles that caught triple digits in bass.
