    Stunting occurs when there are more predators than the forage base can support. Beaver Lake is anything but short on shad. I've read that right here. Many times.
  2. I thought maybe the knife was to cut his losses when he ditches Duke and becomes a Razorbacks fan.
  3. I'd take it to Ulrich Marine in Branson West. Period.
  4. Sounds like a really nice rig. Congrats and have fun with it.
  5. From the position of the tape measure at the nose, looks more like 11-12 inches. What a hog!
  6. Great report. Glad you guys had such a good day.
  7. Indeed, thanks for the very detailed report. Good stuff. And refreshing for someone to freely admit they didn't catch 'em. No one gets them every time. No one.
  8. We called them "titty bream" in Hot Springs coz you had to hold them against your chest to unhook 'em. Very nice report with lots of detail. Thanks for posting it.
  9. Donna and I pulled up to Old 86 ramp one day last spring and there were two kids fishing off the dock. I took a minute before launching the boat to rig up a couple of Neds for them, then went on to have a great day on the lake. So yes, I can be nice. Sometimes. Shut up, denjac. You too, abkeenan. And dtrs5kprs. And Babler ...
  10. I'm afraid you may be headed down a stony path, my friend. Gotta say, though, this is one of the best posts I've read here in a while. Right up there with 5bites' recent report from the upper end.
  11. That does it. I'm gettin' a Rocket! I'm thinking it might double as a holder for my Ned rigs while the superglue dries. And don't tell me you've never laid one down immediately after glueing and had it end up stuck to your boat carpet!
  12. Now that's funny right thar, Jerry!!!! You nailed me to a T. :XD:
  13. They just never learn, hunter. Go jersey or go home!
  14. Thanks for the report. Good to hear there's still a good bite in that area given the water conditions.
  15. Hope the fish cooperate for you guys, Tiger. Please be careful in the heat. Hopefully it won't be 100 every day you're here.
  16. Nice day, Alex. You do as good a job with a crank bait (in all seasons) as anyone I know on Table Rock. Very good work in August.
  17. Increasingly, I seem to need a RAB system when I get up in the morning.
  18. Nice! (There's an echo in here)
  19. My favorite movie ever. Honest. How about when Maverick comes out and hands Goose's locker belongings to Meg Ryan and she says, "He loved flying with you."

  21. I agree on not caring much for rattles in subsurface baits when fishing clear water but nearly all topwaters have some sort of rattles or knocker. The Redfin is full of them.
  22. Very informative post. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
  23. HLS in Rogers and Bella Vista had nine between them. I bought them all.
  24. I have both Shimano and Lew's spinning reels. No real complaints with either. Like Thumbs said, you need to spend $60 minimum to get a decent reel these days. I'd suggest staying away from the BPS Johnny Morris models. I have two of them combined into one now since they both started falling apart after far less than 100 hours of use.
  25. Not sure you'd want to go lighter than ML for bass fishing of any kind. I enjoy finesse fishing with 4-to-6-pound line and do it frequently, but a true light-action rod would seem to be just too whippy.
