WWM

My whole trip with him happened because he couldn’t get in with y’all on Thursday! Did you get him dialed in? He was having one issue...

My take for these guys and MLF overall is they all like catching bass big (duh) or small if needed ($). It’s more the pieces of the puzzle for them... They would go target big bass all day if they needed too but with the given format and a lake like our beast it’s a numbers game to $100k. Too much moving around equals elimination in most cases. Will be interesting to see if they change minimums next year up or down for certain lakes...

Short update: got a call last week from Dustin Connell. He had just finished a MLF cup event in Arkansas and wanted to know if u wanted to go fishing. Well of course I do DC... We went out last Thursday and flat out caught them up all the way up the James. You could say I learned a ton about electronics and how he approaches different types of situations. After weeding through several schools of mostly spotted bass we (he) spotted a school of largemouth on the electronics and we went to town! It was crazy how he called them out as big largemouth and then caught a 5lber on his first cast. We were on the water from 11am until dark then I treated him to one last harter house filet before he headed out north Friday morning... Memories that will change the way I fish moving forward and last a lifetime, hopefully!

This video is from stage 6 the first round here at TRL that Martins won. They stayed at our place for stage 7. Jacobs camera man does a pretty good job editing these videos considering he’s going off 3 GoPro’s and not allowed on the boat during tournaments hours.

Through a series of fortunate events I got the opportunity to put up 4 guys for the last MLF event when it was changed from Grand... We had Jacob Wheeler, Dustin Connell, Mark Daniels, and Adrian Avena at our lake cabin for 9 nights. These guys couldn’t have been nicer! They treated our place with the upmost respect, left it basically just how they found it, and are definitely welcome back anytime! They welcomed me to hang out on a few occasions at the house and even took me along for the (mini) party on Wednesday night... All 4 guys made the cut to get into the money and took home almost $150k between the 4 of them. I have a feeling our paths will cross again. Thanks for the gear DC, Jacob, Mark, and Adrian! truly became once in a lifetime when Jacob won that $100k

The outlet is LOADED with electronics of all 3 brands right now. Wish I had an extra $1500 laying around. They have big mix of lowrance units (live, carbon, ti2), mostly helix for birds, and a few garmin over by the taxidermy. Lots of good deals. Personally I have a original Ti unit with the big transducer. I really like fish reveal for trees. Also, being able to use an iPad to mirror and control the unit works out well for me with the WiFi in the unit. The graph is mounted on the deck and I use an iPad mounted at drivers seat to scan when idling. *If I won the lottery would probably switch to solix and ultrex. Seems like the best right now. Until I-cast that is...

The weight series on YouTube that they are doing on googan squads channel is some great stuff! For anyone that hasn’t seen it I would definitely suggest.

Really appreciate all the feedback. Sounds like I’ll start with calling century link to complain about the service and ask for the cat 5 wiring before I cancel and go with new company. Thanks skeeter!

Can anyone point me towards an internet service provider around the Baxter area that is worth paying for. The Century Link we pay $45 a month for is a absolute joke it be called high speed. ATT LTE is usually 3-4 times faster on my phone. Any advice would be much appreciated.

My brother is a millennial, golfer, and a captain for a regional airline...lol

No, I just come here to read and talk fishin like most...

Oh boy, here we go WAY off topic again! Moderator should probably go ahead and suspend.

They’ve been there since I started fishing Piney over 25 years ago.

Fishing is fishing. I threw a red rock crawler probably 100 times and got zero in 2 days. But I did cash a check last hour on a flying lure head with a Banjo minnow on it... congrats to the winner and a great tournament! Will be back next year for sure

Thanks, I'll try extreme since its on my way...

Looking for some minnows to night fish off the dock with and have tried Baxter and Kimberling marina with no luck. Anyone know where I can purchase minnows this time of year?

Caught a boat load yesterday using the ned and this is one of the fish we brought in... I've seen pictures of bass that have slight bends in them but that S in the back looks like it might hurt...We called it the scoliosis bass.

I left a hose on the dock last week after Labor Day weekend and found this when I got down to my boat Sunday afternoon. I was lucky since I left 2 spinning reels up front on the deck and they didn't get touched... Everything else on the dock was untouched. Has anyone ever used a fitting and some clamps to repair the gas line that they cut? Or will I have to replace the whole thing?...
