That's some good fishing. Sorry to hear abut the shoulder.

Thanks guys for the compliments. And if you ever want to catch dinks, I can put you on them! 😃

It moved through here, it wasn't too bad, some heavy rain.

When fishing with some of my elderly fishing buddies, I have learned just to go ahead and yell when I am talking to them, because if I don't, they'll say Whut?. So it's better just to yell it out the first time instead of saying it in a normal level, and getting back "Whut?" and then having to repeat it all over again at greater volume.

Hearing aids are in my future too. Living around a lot of old folks, the worse thing is having to yell at them so that they can hear you. And everyone pushes off getting them until they are practically deaf. I'll probably do the same. The good hearing aides are expensive too, and they've got tiny batteries you have to periodically replace. 20 years ago I would come down here and visit my folks, when the TV was on they had it set incredibly loud, I'd turn it down when they weren't looking. Now I have noticed that I crank up the TV myself. A lot of us on this site are getting old, here we are talking about dental implants, dentures and hearing aids. 😀

You made me look it up - it was worse than the one I posted.

I would've called that Ross Goose somebodies pet duck that escaped from the farm. Shows how good I am at waterfowl ID.

Hey you got a good resupply on your swimbait stash. Looks like a dozen.

Found a serious leek underneath the sink.

Way to go Daryk! Just in time for spring.

I fished one of the Bella Vista lakes yesterday, fairly good number of boats out here too. It's getting to be that time of year for the fiberglass hatch.

That is a nice smalls!

Dina is bringing the jalapeno dip which some of you have mistaken for potato salad. 😃

Cool, we have missed you Sharkbait.

I'm right behind you! Another tourney this week.

I've been told by people that leave a loud radio on their docks that it keeps the otters away. There's a cove I fish in the spring that can be really good, but when fishing that cove I get to listen to country music and DJ chatter.

That is a big one.

That's some good fishing! I might stop by BPS Saturday, if I do, I'll swing by and say hi.

For sure, the world is knee deep in dermatologists.

Same here, my guys made the cut, I have Kennedy and he has a chance to win, but the rest of the guys are going to have to do really well to make it to day4.

Getting old ain't for wimps. I know a lot of old outdoorsmen, quite a few of them get stuff removed or cut out. It sucks, but not one of them that I know has developed melanoma. I've been lucky, had a few things burned off, but haven't had to get anything removed. I'm sure as heck not taking up night fishing, I can't stay awake.

Welp, I had a good day 1, but looks like my guys have spun out. Anybody have Brandon Cobb? Close to 30 lbs. today if BassTrak is correct.

Have to take a look at the local Wally.

Does it get fished pretty hard? Curious as to what it is like pressure wise. Is it a one time stocking, or do they stock it periodically?

Man, wish I had some loons up on my end of the lake showing me where the fish are at. Haven't seen a single one this winter. Congrats on a great day!
