Not sure about the new ones but I have an old 2006 Hemi Megacab 3/4 ton and 35's. Has 260k on it and still going strong. Only things I have don't are just typical maintenance. Just changed the original Wheel Bearing and Ball joints last month (that was a nightmare). Going to sell it soon though, just time for something new
I live in Ozark and my garage is full of them, My parents live kind over your way by Linden and my dad was complaining about his shop being full of them too
I wouldnt pigeon hole him, I now he has whacked more fish on the Rock than i may ever catch. Starting soon the only thing on my deck will be a flutter spoon and a sexy dog.
I bet Champ was out in 50ft scoping with a minner.
I went up the James all the way to McCords bend today. Mainly crappie fishing with my lil man. We did pretty good. Water temp way up the James was 59. Flatt Creek I saw 64. Water was very clean and clear above Bridgeport. Below Bridgeport water was nice stain but not muddy
It is a weird discussion, I catch so many spots between 12-15 inches. And if they say the average age of a spotted bass at 15" is 6-7 years its at the end of its life anyhow. If that's the case we should keep them at 12". Either way I don't think it will have much of an impact. I can think of many days in tourneys I wish I could have kept that 1lb rat......but the other guys would have to so it wouldn't have probably mattered
I was up there last weekend and never saw one, Went from Bridgeport to McCords Bend, and also up Flat Creek a ways. I never see the numbers in the spring like I did 7-8 years ago.
