My fishing buddy/best friend is 81 now, I am 67. he is a retired Marine. He can bass fish all day, even though I out catch him, most of the time, when we are fishing. Never complains about much at all. When we fish it is generally 4 days straight, 8 to 10 hours a day. He will run the trolling motor generally more than me also.
No Problemo. Josh Jones has 2, but he also caught 4 more I believe over 10 lbs but not to the 13lb mark. You are right O H Ivie has been on fire this year. Down here we will get a run 1 year on Fork, another run on Choke Canyon, then 1 on Falcon, or Lake Austin, Rayburn, etc. One of our lakes always does really well each year for the Share A Lunker program.
Ya if sub species is a problem, then why has Texas - OH Ivie produced at least 3 Share a Lunkers, which is over 13 lb fish Black Bass, this year.
They did do a DNA verification Because it is the Largest Smally/Largemouth cross that has ever been caught period. Texas Parks and Wildlife, test all Black bass and all fish that are certified. They also have an unbelievable restocking program for the state. What say you Missouri, what does your conservation department do with your money, when it comes to lake developments and restocking programs. Not nearly enough.

And they said they couldn't cross

Yellow Mustard for white bass, helps take the fishy fishy taste out of the white bass. Friend showed me this years ago when I moved to Texas. Works on Stripers also.
Cottonseed Oil for the best deep frying of fish, a whole lot less grease sticks to the fish and breading.
Shoreside beer batter or McCormicks Beer Batter mix, wife likes it better than cornmeal. The beer batter mix makes a super great Onion Ring dip also.
Is there a restaurant in Kimberly City Bridge area that serves Prime Rib on Friday or Saturday nights?
Or where would the closest place be to get some good Prime Rib?
What is not working on it?
Ours just quit on the speed control. remote still will change the speed but Garmin has my order and says it will be a month till new pedal is shipped.
I would keep the boat and trailer it to where I wanted to fish. Much more freedom this way. Never like the thought of slipping my boat in 1 lake when there are always other lakes I want to fish. Plus I know my boat is much safer at home in the garage and Home Protection, along with the sign that says there is nothing here worth dyeing for.
Well I am back, Jerkbait worked well as did a rock crawler. A few on a jig and craw, for bass. Got a limit of crappie 12 to 14'' one day and 8 really nice big crappie another day with one being 18''. Now I have a few crappie for food. I was dropping a jig tipped with a minnow about 10 to 12' over brush.
Thanks
