Here's a 7+ pounder Before you call me a liar please consider that pic is 6 years old 😁

A little ol'gal at the church up the road was coming in every Sunday going on and on about how many crappie her and her husband was catching....."Oh her hands were so sore from cleaning all of them that she could barely play the organ, and they were running out of freezer space to keep them all, and boy they really had figured out a way to catch'em". Well somebody hotlined her and a MDC agent along with a deputy stormed their house, searching her fridge, freezer, and even searched the coolers in her garage. They found 7 crappie fillets soaking in a bowl......and that's it. When asked where all the fish were at she admitted that she had lied about their success, and stopped attending church. 😂 I guess she didn't believe she'd go to hell for lying. And now she's doomed 😈

Even though I grew up in a fairly small to mediocre sized town I remember in the early-mid '70s there was trash EVERYWHERE. Old stoves, washing machines, and refrigerator's littered the creeks and ditches. Tires, old cars, rolls of fencing, busted farm implements, piles of shingles..... I'm talking BIG trash. The scattered smattering of lightweight paper and plastic you see nowadays can't even hold a candle to how trashed this country was back then.

What caused them to search his freezer ?

It probably is, as many are, but rejetting to 15hp HSjets doesn't make it a 15hp motor. Gotta swap venturi's and advance timing to increase HP. Increasing HSjet size and going to hotter spark plugs is done to cure the plug fouling on motors run at mid-throttle range alot. It also helps the motor run a little cooler.

Supreme's are awesome. But if you decide that you specifically want a jet then I'd recommend an aluminum rig. But then again, if you like a Supreme there's nothing wrong with mounting a jet on it. It just might be a tad sluggish. Props are better, if the water is deep enough, because they allow better control overall, and more efficient use of available horsepower.

Supreme's are a pretty heavy boat. A jet will scoot one but they were originally built/designed as a prop boat.

Everybody has this perception that graphite fibers transmit signals like fiber-optic cable. It doesn't work that way. That is not what makes a rod "sensitive". Weight/balance/stiffness is what makes rods transmit subtle bites better. A one piece rod is no more "sensitive" than a 4 piece rod if weight/balance/stiffness is the same. By stiffness I mean....how quickly the blank recovers from a bend.

Yeah you'll benefit from a jack plate.

Transom height ?

You can "jerk-strip" a streamer in sub-zero temps. The constant rod whipping keeps the guides clear.

Now you're talking ! You're not supposed to use split rings between the blade and head though. So say the chatterbait experts.

Back in my die-hard bowhunting days a buddy and I stood in tree stands from before daylight until 3:pm when the high temp for the day was 16° I'll never forget it because it was the coldest I have ever been, and it was totally stupid because even if a deer had came into one of my shooting lanes there's no way I could have drawn the bow and pulled off a decent shot. Neither one of us wanted to be the first one to puss out.....so we both stayed until finally I couldn't take it anymore. I was afraid if I stayed a minute longer I wouldn't be able to climb out of the tree.

Although I don't remember fly-fishing when the temps were in the teens, I'm sure that I have. I'm also sure that there's a reason why I have no desire to do it now.

I'm not sure that it works like that. It's like a relationship where in the beginning they are all sweet, kind, and proper, but as time goes on the transformation back to reality is inevitable. First they openly burp and start leaving things lay around, then they start farting freely ..... and eventually they are walking in during your shower to take a poop, and kicking your cat. You either love them unconditionally and keep them forever, or you kick them to the curb and start that whole process over again with a different face and name.

The Asians there are actually kinda pretty compared to the Mucinex Boogers with fins that are in the Osage.

Heck yeah !! Good job, dudes. 👍 No fake news going on down there !

Really? What would they do? Shoot him in the back of the head? Chase him down and tackle him.....then cuff and stuff him ? Press #1 for English or stay on the line ?

She's a beaut, Clark ! 🤣

Bring us back some Fake News ! If you need a few pics to solidify the report, just holler, I have a few that nobody has seen yet. 😉

I got to watch an incident like that once. Quite a few people were fishing under a bridge during the white bass run, there was a half dozen vehicles parked along the road by the bridge. A young MDC agent came strutting down the hill and started checking permits until he got to one Mexican dude that either couldn't understand or speak English....or he was pretending not to be able to. There was a lot of confusion between the two of them until finally the Mexican dude just turned around and walked off downstream in a manner that said "I don't know who this weirdo is, or what he wants, but I want away from him". 🤣 The agent just stood there in disbelief, then shrugged his shoulders and went on to check someone else. I mean what else could he do? Shoot him? After checking one more person he just left and didn't bother checking me and another dude and his girlfriend. So I guess if you don't wanna be bothered with a fishing license check, just pretend that you don't understand what they are saying and calmly walk away. It's as easy as that. 😅

It truly is Major League. Only dipshit amatuers should feel the need to transplant fish miles from where they call home.

Well I wouldn't accuse you of lying about THAT dink. 😄

I thought you were a C&R guy.

Yeah Zach doesn't do it all that well actually. But I'm not making a TC video so..... 😋
