NOPE

That's a Dang Nice Fish!

This could be your tag line. God Bless You Dave. You don't fish nearly enough and you shouldn't be able to whack them as well as you do given the long layoffs. you Da Man. You remain dialed in. Just wait until next year.

56) Black Buffalo , sight fished, Liferin

I'm Sorry for your families loss Phil. I don't know any of the details, but I'm sure the whole incident is is traumatic and upsetting. I wish it was different.

I throw a lot of different top water baits. I really like the old Allstar TWS Zell Rowland rod for 3/8 oz and down. I like a short handled Spinnerbait rod for 1/2 oz and up. I fish braid about as often as mono on my Topwater stuff. I for sure do not want extra fast.

Yeah, I needs me one of those Blue Spotted Fellars and that Muddy Sunfish too.

Yeah, Super Dave, everything was fine on the road (heavy rain) and the one that went through our area missed the house.

I'm sure it will be fine in a few day as will the White, but both are No Bueno right now.

At least, you're not planning on fishing Taneycomo

That's Great catching by the way!!! I love to catch crappie. That would be an awesome day for me just catching crappie after crappie. Let me get this 100 species thing taken care of of and I'll get back to my roots next year.

Mojo rig told me that 40% of annual Bass mortality happens in the couple of months around the spawn. Poor fish handling has to be a part of that.

I'm gonna need to get a better understanding of Coppernose Mo Mo

That Folly Crew knocking it out of the freakin park. Kudos!

Waiting for updates and fish pics

I've fished the Bryant more than the James, but I have a lot more bonus channel cat from the James

I think the James has more

She was a big girl though

I thought mine was a Black Redhorse so 🙄

55) Flier, It's possible that I caught a Flier as a child and just that it was a funny looking crappie, but I have for sure caught one now. on a fly rod no less. And then 15 minutes later, lightening struck again. These were Arkansas fish. About 1/2 the drive time required to get to Mingo Swamp.

I drive. A lot.

54) Bowfin First of three Bowfun I caught today. Switched to the flyrod and caught one on one of Marty's Clousers

Probably where and how we fished. SMB might be a week behind. Lots of Spotted Bass

That's Awesome! Time slips away from us and by the time you realize it, there aren't many of those Special trips left. I'm very glad you guys made it happen.

Fished from 0830 until 1900 in the mid lake area. Main lake had beautiful 58 degree water. As is typical , water got warmer and picked up a little more more stain as you went back up the creeks. it was my first trip on Bull this year (I should be ashamed) and it took a little bit to get some bites. We could get bit on transition banks on S L O W moved grubs and finesse Shakey heads. water was actually very clear in the back of creeks from super clear rain run off. I felt like we did better in the middle third of a creek. when we had clouds and a decent ripple on the water, Spinnerbaits and bladed jigs would get bit. When it got calm and sunny, that bite died. sunny skies put fish tighter to brush and you could flip a few out. I had a terrible hook up ratio, but I did have a decent number of bites. late in the day we even got a few fluke bites, but those Bass were smaller though. Late in the day we saw water temps as high as 63. We had good numbers of fish and a really good percentage were keepers. Zero Smallies were caught. I did lodge an official complaint with AGFC about the lack of SMB in Bull Shoals.
