Had some ground meat and cabbage. What else but cabbage rolls and mashed potatoes. Hmm Hmm Good! Eat and watch the Shmenges. Just need some coffee 🤣

Be sure to post a report and photos. @liphunter likes them... at least that's what @snagged in outlet 3says

I've passed a few times headed to Thomas Hill but know little about the facility. Sorry. At one time they used to advertise with billboards around Columbia. Had phone number but don't know if those billboards are still up.

Dan what size jig head were you using?

I too had a good chuckle. Love dad humor. I can just envision Livie rolling her eyes 🤣.

Common green bass (aka sunfish or Micropterus salmoides and Micropterus punctulatus) can and should be lumped in the stinkin' category. True or temperate bass of the Morone genus should not be stinkin'.😅

I enjoy learning their species names but am not obsessed either. Accurate common names...🙄 I am more obsessed about those names.

Thought that I was done🙄. 8 pages of the same rhetoric on this thread just like every other thread about masks. False bravado, pleas for humanity, data vs no data, trolls, blah blah blah... glad that I didn't read through it all. I did see @Devan S. post. Sounds like your company has a weak COVID policy or enforcement. That guy would have quarantined for at least 10 to 14 days. Have fun boys, I'm out

Congrats @Quillback! Even with the cold you guys did pretty well for a relatively short trip.

I had a few years that all I used were slip bobber rigs. Then got into fishing trout magnets below weighted floats and stopped using the slip rigs. Need to get back to using a slip rig again.

If I remember correctly it was the gill cover that gave me the cut. As an FYI this was a Missouri fishing trip.

Not sure if this fits here or the What's cooking thread 😅.

If we are going Musky, then here are photos from the greatest musky fishing trip that I have ever been on. Early October and overcast, three of us in the boat. 13 musky encountered. The photos cover just about all you need to know about this trip. 38.5 inches 41.5 inches 38.5 inches 39 inches 41.5 inches. All were measured on a board before being resuscitated and released. Lost a big fish from these tree tops. I jumped like a tarpon with a full body extension above the water.

If you can't feel the thump on a jig, or see the wake then splash and pull on a top water, a dissapearing cork is the next best thing for a visceral response to the fish taking your bait.

Some toads for sure!

I will only admit to about 50 to 60 by species name . I'm not any where near a Leo Cheng level. I simply don't put enough time in memorizing the species names for those uncommon species.

Personally this is a moot point for most of the US. Here in MD and at my work place we have been wearing face coverings or masks for most of 2020 and now all of 2021. In the work place if you are in a room with another person you are wearing a mask. If you are alone, no mask is needed. Early on we pushed the distances between people until there was a sufficient supply of masks. Lots of disinfectant supplies and hand sanitizer throughout the buildings (we used locally distilled alcohol when there was not enough hand sanitizer early on). There have been only a handful of COVID cases out of the 150 + staff that have been working in close quarters throughout the pandemic. Also hardly anyone has had a cold or the flu so far either. All stores, dine-in restaurants, salons, barbershops, etc. you wear a face covering or mask. We have lost a few businesses, but many remain open at some capacity.

Good advice can often pay off😉! Congrats on a new Esox species!

I've got no photos so it didn't happen🙄. Took a charter with a group of guys some were quite well off. We were heading out of Port Aransas TX. Tropical storm Alberto was in the gulf. Waves were 2 to 4 as we headed out. By the time we got up to the first oil rig they were 4 to 6. Only about 8 of us started fishing. The rest were chumming both over the rail and in the salon. We were using old fish and squid baits plus the smell from the rigs made for an olfactory challenge. Then fighting off sea sickness due to waves added to the keep it down challenge. I caught about 5 or 6 red snapper. A few other guys caught about the same. By the time we were in 6 to 8 foot swells one to the really rich guys threatened the captain that he would buy the boat and fire him if we didn't head back in, which we did. Always amazed how quickly you can get over sea sickness. Next day we had a fish fry. So it was all good.

Thats awesome! Congrats!

Nice king mackerel!

Lived with my MIL for years....

I haven't been there nor NFL HOF. One trip we looked at going to NFL HOF but ended up in Cleveland at Rock HOF instead.

Tampa Bay is better coached than GB. The biggest reason that Rodgers may be on another team next year.
