Yikes, those results I posted were for last year. Sorry. Here it is from this year: Kelly Greer of Harrison and Jeff Epley of Berryville weighed five bass totaling 17 pounds even on Saturday to win the annual Polar Bear bass tournament held on Beaver Lake. They won $1,000. Couple of big smallies.

I didn't even think about going fishing today, it was way, way, way too cold for me. Beaver lake Polar Bear was yesterday, I wouldn't have fished that either with the rain and then that front coming in, but the winners did well. Paul Williams of Rogers and Casey Odle of Siloam Springs teamed up on Friday to win the annual New Year's Day Polar Bear bass tournament at Beaver Lake with five largemouth bass totaling 19.48 pounds. The pair used crank baits and jigs with twin-tailed trailers along the face of bluffs, the ends of bluffs and along chunk-rock banks.

I was in favor of the playoff system, but now, not so much. I'm starting to miss the days of the bowl traditions like having the Rose Bowl between the top Big 10 team and the top PAC 8 or 10 or 12 (whatever it is). There was always some controversy about the who ended up being ranked #1, but that was kind of fun too. Besides the playoff games, the only bowl I was watched this year was the Hogs.

No concrete goals for myself except to get out and fish. Might do a little more bream fishing this year. Ham, make sure you have some time to come on over here for some bream fishing this spring/summer. Maybe we can get that Zigjig guy to join us.

You guys have launched a shock and awe attack, I don't know if I can recover from this.

Sure thing, hang in there buddy!

Back at ya JF..

Fall is tough for fishing, September is always a tough month for me. Seems like winter hasn't started yet, but that will change tomorrow. But heck we're only 2 months away from March!

I hear ya, someone needs to start a 1st fish of 2022 thread.

Put in the water about 10 AM and fished until 3:30. Started off really slow, threw the Rock Crawler for an hour without a bite. Went back into Indian and fished the trees with a Ned rig and finally started picking up some fish, but most were dinky 10-11 inch smallmouth. Caught a couple that were close to the 15" mark, but not quite. For the most part they were fairly shallow 5-15 feet. Decided to throw the Crawler again out in the main basin, picked up a couple of keeper sized largemouth, which is unusual, it is usually pretty much a smallmouth show once you get away from the trees and docks, but I'll take them especially on a slow day like today. This will be my last day of fishing in 2021, Happy New Year! WT 54

I would like to fish it one of these years, but not this Saturday.

Yeah Dutch, lets us know what you think of the Mega Live. I don't know anyone who has used it.

Anyone going to fish it? Looks to be some challenging weather conditions. Of course, it is not a real Polar Bear without adverse weather.

I like lead wire myself. BPS carries it in different sizes. Round Lead Wire Spools | Bass Pro Shops

Dude, you are killing me!

A JF meme if I ever saw one. @Johnsfolly

Watched many a game where he was in the booth, sorry to see him go. Didn't realize he was 85, thought he was in his 70's.

One of these days I would like to get down there and fish, but not this year.

That is a bunch of fish. I caught fish today on the Ned rig, but little doinkers in the 10-14 inch range. Nice day to be fishing.

That is a fantastic day, family and fish! In other news, Rock Crawlers in Missouri Craw color have sold out in all the local tackle shops. 😄

Yeah but who would want to watch a nekkid Marty?

I get some scantily clad ladies, or at least used to.

Nope, PC.
