Justification. Maybe? The Bible is immoral in more than one way. Like Slavery, for starters.

Depending on the rules of the specific derby it may have been a legal catch. Anyone who fishes an A-rig or jerkbait much has caught plenty outside the mouth.

Religion is not the pathway to morality. 😊

You can't plan anything this season.

Look at it this way.... If Bash Boy had caught it legitimately the the fish was gonna die and be turtle food. So how can you get mad at the other guy ? Not sure, honestly, how I would have handled that situation. 100k is a lot of money, the bash is an AMATEUR EVENT that I am not a fan of, and a caught fish is a CAUGHT FISH. I've done shadier things for LESS money. I'll just go right ahead and admit that in front of everyone. 😉 This is of course assuming that the fish was not snagged in the back, or the tail....but somewhere close to its mouth. 🤷‍♂️

Pop's Shad.....in the sauce.

I've got a bunch more if needed. 😊

100$ says it's in his freezer, waiting to be mounted.

The liquor store. Tincup whiskey cork. 😋

Where are you coming into contact with "lots of guys" that are looking for Red Wigglers ?

This stuff here is kinda stiff and doesn't act right if you trim it much shorter. If it doesn't catch fish, the NEXT BATCH will have googly-eyes! 😉

Couldn't remember if we discussed Crease fly's or not, but this one acts really sexy in the swimming pool. Can't wait to introduce it to some big 'ol bass. 😊

You can't go by the digital overlay. It is not entirely accurate.....and that is obvious. Surveys beginning at the nearest cornerstone are still required.

They are connected to a lucrative family, but they weren't handed anything freely. Joe has worked his @$$ off.....and still does, everyday. Also treats his help very well. 👍

It's pretty interesting the way it happened here around Lake O. When they began clearing for the lake beginning in the late '20's, people were basically booted off the land where they lived, and a lot of those families just moved up into the hills and started fencing off parcels of land. If nobody threw a fit and told them to stop it then they would just expand their land by moving the fences further out and clearing the timber. This behavior went on until the late '50's early '60's. After doing this for a period of time, with nobody officially objecting, the land just legally became theirs. They couldn't sell it..... because they had no actual recorded deed, and it hadn't been surveyed. But nobody could take it from them.....And for some reason the state didn't ever seek to foreclose on behalf of back taxes accrued. 4 of those families, that I know of, still hold HUGE parcels of land. I'm talking about SQUARE MILES of it. And somehow they've figured out a way to settle the tax debt & start selling some of it. I took possession of a 1 3/4 acre piece myself after the tornado, that bordered my property, but there was no record of it being deeded to anyone, it was initially marked as a road easement. But I just cleared it off and fenced it in. And on the last digital survey since 2014 it shows it being owned by ME. I never paid a dime for it.

Buried somewhere underneath wireless servo's that control shifting, throttle setting, trim angle, and steering. You can drive it with your phone. Just plot your course on a GPS map and go take a nap. Even the winch on the trailer is wireless and Bluetooth compatible. I'm sure you'd love it.

Things are changing here in Gravois too. Coconut's has sold. And several other pieces of property that generous offers have been ignored/turned down, for many years.....are suddenly being sold off at stupid low prices. Alot of acreage was taken by "adverse possession" back in the 1930's-1950's and the state has apparently decided to forgive the long-overdue tax debt. 🤷‍♂️

Way cooler than the day I had yesterday, with this big ugly bastard. 🙄 What a miserable piece of machinery! 🤮

I haven't seen a single one here on my property that didn't ride in on a boat, but just over the hill, in every direction, they are thick. Maybe the tornado in '06 wiped them out along this path. 🤷‍♂️

I can't remember a time when there wasn't something to portage around on that stretch.

I don't think they "sold out". They paid off their lien, and own it free & clear now. It's not changing hands.

You're retarded !

Just to be clear..... I'm not among the ad whiners this time. But for whatever it's worth I appear to be ad free.

I crank the reel with my right hand regardless of whether it's a baitcaster, spinning rig, or fly rod. In my mind that means that the REEL is a right-handed reel. But Noooooo 🤷‍♂️ Just to keep this ON TOPIC.....if you have Bone Cancer it is probably because you fished right-handed all of your life....with a LEFT HANDED reel. So you probably have brain cancer too.
