Didn't know about that click and zoom feature, thanks Bill for pointing that out. Works for Wrench's pic too.

Dunno, that's one of those things I'll figure out if the day comes where I trap one.

Those thieving rascals! Had a problem one year with coons getting into the tomato plants, got one of those live traps, and baited it with the half eaten tomatoes they left behind. Got 2 young'uns the first night, then their mama the next. Mama was a tad ticked off. I'd run a long rope to the trap just in case you get a skunk.

I have never stayed at Bill's White River Lodge, (it's on my to do list), but it sure looks like a great place to stay. Bill could certainly give you some recommendations as far as getting the boat in the water. Anyway check out their website, show it to the wife to see what she thinks. https://www.whiteriverlodgebb.com/

Always wondered what the chuck and duck deal was, now I know. Used to use a similar rig except on a bait caster for steelhead fishing, with eggs clusters.

"Rental boats operated by idiots" - that cracks me up! But glad to hear you got your friends into some good fishing.

Great fish, congrats!

Son of a gun, they are sold out except for one color, Shad Scales. I ordered one, I like the color.

Hope so too, I have a whole collection of non-waking wake baits.

I think it was on here, or maybe another forum, that people were talking about the no longer produced Strike King Wake Shad. Just got an email from 6th Sense and they are introducing what they call the 'Speed Wake'. Thought some of you might be interested, you can get it direct from them at 6thsensefishing.com.

Got this from AGFC: Today, May 22 at 1:00 pm, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers opened the floodgates on Norfork Lake. Please use caution while on or around Norfork Lake. High water can lead to an increase of floating logs and debris. For more information, please visit the Corp of Engineers

Skies are dark here, wind blowing, thunder rumbling, I am expecting it to start pouring down any minute.

Don't poke the bear!

OK, looking forward to it.

Well you caught a goggle eye, one of the tougher species to catch on the Rock.

Evergreen SB 125. Usually I'll do a little bass fishing after the striper bite ends, but today with the fish to clean I decided to roll once the striper bite ended.

I think that's a good bet, didn't see any guides around point 5 today.
