Once caught two young-uns and their mama in the same trap, so I have you beat. I would've registered it at the Guiness World Records deal, but I just had to much going on that day to have the time to mess with it.

The flood warnings have been issued.

Saw this on TackleTour. Relatively inexpensive glide bait that gets a good review from them: Molix GlideBait 140 SS Product Review #molixglidebait140ss #molixswimbait (tackletour.com)

Might end up with old fridges and hay bales floating in the lake like a few years ago. Should have a good picnic table bite too.

I have fished them only a bit, I think I remember catching a 12" spotted bass on one. Guess I should give it a try, but it is hard for me to put down the Keitechs for those deep fish. I have heard people say you can put those frog type 2 hook deals on them and that will reduce hangups. I got mine at Lureparts. Get some white Krylon spray paint to paint them if you want white ones.

Weather guy last night was calling for 2-4 inches in NWA.

The little bit that I read about it, there is some sort of genetic threshold or parameters that have to be met to qualify as a different species. I'm certainly not educated enough on the subject to make a call on it.

OK species dudes, you've got more work. According to my latest issue of Outdoor Oklahoma, there are now 3 different longear species. There are potentially 3 more. Plains Longear Redstripe Longear Caddoan Longear You can do a search on Bruce Bauer Longear for some detailed info, that I didn't read because it was DNA analysis heavy, too heavy for me.

Going to be hard to get those blue cats under control. They are tasty, maybe some kind of all out commercial and recreational fishing effort with no limits might hammer the numbers down, but I doubt they'll ever get rid of them.

UConn has that guy Sanogo playing for them, reminds me of Kobe Brown from a physical standpoint, except he's an inch taller, but has that same linebacker physique. I don't think Sanogo has the outside shooting range that Brown has, but he is a beast inside. I'm thinking Arkansas is going to take the ball inside and try and get him in foul trouble.

We may get another shot at dirty water fishing if the forecast for Thursday night comes to fruition.

I wear a life jacket, people can call me a wuss, I don't care.

Arkansas is set to play UCONN, televised Thursday 6:15 PM on CBS.

Just saw some news about a couple of kayakers that are missing since Thursday. Somewhere around the Lost Bridge South area from what I could tell. They did find their kayaks and a shirt floating in the water, but no sign of the missing men. It is a father and son. Search continues for missing kayakers on Beaver Lake (4029tv.com)

No fishing for me lately either. Just too darn cold and windy. I am waiting for the March "goes out like a lamb" thing to kick in.

Taking off the shirt and calling the Hogs was great! It is kind of goofy, but he had the fans worked up. Don't know if you guys saw the post game on court interview, but Coach Muss put his arm around Devo and told him he loved him like a son, it had Devo in tears. Don't forget Council IV, he was the one draining those end of game free throws. I'll be watching UCONN play St. Mary's today, I'm rooting for St. Mary's, I believe the Hogs can beat St. Mary's, maybe not UCONN. Gonzaga blew out St. Mary's in the WCC championship game, St. Mary's is over seeded at a 5 in my opinion.

Wow, the Hawgs beat them Jayhawks.

That's one thing I would like to do someday is fish for Atlantics. Probably would have to be Maine for it to be affordable.

Atlantic salmon - do they run up any of the rivers in Ireland. I have actually caught one. Caught it in the Skykomish river while steelhead fishing. It was a net pin escapee, all of it's fins were worn down, it weighed 4 lbs. or so, but no fight.

I think they have stopped making them, I picked up a few on the Berkley site, they have them on sale. Limited colors. TW is out of them. I know there are some folks on here that fish them, they are a good wake bait. If you like them, you might want to pick a few up.

There was talk that they might go back into production, but doesn't look like they will.

I was curious how they tasted. Ditch walleye, that's a good one. Are they getting numerous in Arkansas?

Snakehead - Did you eat it?
