Just to be a troll I might leave some small bait hooks with dough bait or red worm residue 😂. @Jthawks keep posting. Can't wait to see some new water photos.

Boy do I feel like a sucker now! 🤣

@FishnDaveKilling it on those koi and goldies! I haven't tried the Baltimore ponds yet. I have some leads on a different blenny and banded sunfish to try first. Work kept me from trying yesterday for those guys. Koi may end up next year if the ponds get too cold.

Nice chunky rainbows!

I tend to agree with you Rick. I do think that if you are in the keys and have time that you at least visit Key West just to say that you did.

More corny dad cartoons 👍

Congrats to @Buzz, @trythisonemv, and @ollie for a successful day fishing a tough spot when it's well past stocking! I may never make an Ollie Fest, but I hope that you guys keep it going for as long as possible. Traditions are worth keeping, especially fishing ones 😉.

Seemed obvious. Maybe not.

An 86 year old man is out fishing and he hears a voice. "Pick me up!" He looks around and hears it again. "Pick me up!" He looks towards the voice and sees a frog on a lily pad. "Are you talking to me?",He asks the frog. "Yes. Pick me up and kiss me. I will turn into the most beautiful woman and will be your bride. All of your friends will be envious of you since I will be all yours." "So Pick me up and kiss me!" The old man picks up the frog. Instead of kissing it he puts it in his front pocket. "Kiss me! Kiss me!", screams the frog. "Why won't you kiss me!" "At my age I'd rather have a talking frog!" 🤣🤣

I know folks want BPS to cater to fishing tackle on Black Friday but clothing gets the women that do the most shopping into the store. Moves a lot more product. Also the margins on clothes allows better sales prices. For years the thing that got us to stand in line at the Columbia BPS was their $10 jeans. I would and still could save $10 to $15 off per pair. Would get two pairs a year. Still wear them.

Only did a half turkey. Served with green bean casserole, sweet potato with pecans, and homemade rolls. Have fresh pumpkin pies coming soon 😁.

A man and a woman have been married for 50 years. The man has been known to be a bit of a sour curmudgeon. Even the neighbors feared what the man may do due to his temper. As the man got older he would say to his wife "when I die I will crawl out of my grave and haunt you for the rest of your life." The man died a few days later. After he was buried his wife was telling the neighbor about her husband's threat to haunt her. The neighbor being scared of the old man said "What if he does crawl out of the grave? Aren't you afraid?" The old woman said "No I'm not afraid. Let him crawl out. I buried him facing downward. There is no way that he will ask for directions."🤣🤣

That's a giant muskie! Still have to catch one above 40 inch mark.

I am watching a British TV show called Farming the wild. They are actually hunting in NH for spring turkey. The host has stated that we in the US are blessed with lots of public lands and active conservation. As we are watching the show there has been a parade of bucks through the wood lot. There was one young buck, one unknown age but bigger bodied buck, a nice size 3 yr old 8 pt, another smaller 7 pt, and a giant that was way off in the woods. All this in about 45 mins. All hunted with binos from the windows. No active shooters this morning.

Just was looking out our bedroom window and saw these guys. We see some hens from time to time and have heard gobbling in the woodlot. How fitting to see six large Tom turkeys out on Thanksgiving morning. I hope that anyone who reads this post has a great day today. Even in the times that we live in today there is still so much to thankful for this year. Enjoy the time with friends and family. Even if they may just be online friends like those here on OAF🙂.

In the Poconos we would often watch satellites crosing the sky. Saw the northern lights up there as well. Did see the space shuttle and the space station but at different time. We lucked into seeing a shuttle launch when we just happened to driving by Canaveral one weekend when we lived FL. With all those folks there I can imagine what it was like when the shuttle exploded.

Nightmarish Sea Beast With Bloody-Looking Mouth Washes Up on San Diego Beach (msn.com) I wonder if there are any deepsea subs available on Craigslist? I have to find a way to catch some of these deepsea fish 😁

Thanks @BilletHead. For a fly guy you post a lot of bait fishing videos😁. Never heard of slinky weights but will make a bunch after seeing this video. We don't have an abundance of suckers here in MD but that setup should work for lots of different native species😉.

A man was stranded on a desert island for ten years. One day a beautiful women swims up to the island. She looks at the man and asks how long has it been since he had a drink. 10 years replied the man. She pulls out a flask of fine whiskey from her bathing suit and gives it to the man. He takes a long and satisfying drink. She asks him long has it been since he has smoked a fine cigar. Ten years said the man. She pulls out a cigar case and matches. She lights then hands the cigar to the man. He takes a long draw on the cigar. "Now get ready for a great time!" She says to the man while unzipping her suit. The man says, "Oh my god... you have a Playstation in there as well!"🤣🤣

Yep you, DJ, and I were in the boat that day.

Venison steak with morel wine sauce. Sauce consisted of dried morels, minced onions, red wine, and beef stock. Seared venison and cooked until rare/medium rare. Let it rest and sliced then added into sauce. Served with roasted brussel sprouts and packaged risotto.

That's before my jigfest time you oldtimer 🤣! Remember this one?!?

Seth - I would actually think that the productivity in Truman and LOZ based upon land use surrounding the two lakes is likely higher than Beaver and Table Rock lakes. If that is correct then a higher amount or higher quality forage base would be available to the bass in LOZ.
