I lived in the Boston area in the glory days of the Big East. John Thompson, Rollie Massimino, Louie Carneseca, PJ Carlisimo, Jim Boeheim, Gary Williams, the UCONN guy whose name I can't remember - anyway, that league was crawling with great coaches and players.

Man, I guess I have never seen that side of Jimmy, but have never met him in person, just what I see on TV. I don't know how that guy has kept his face from being burned off, never have seen him with a hat on while fishing, he sure likes to show off that bowl haircut he has. Guess it's his signature thing, that haircut.

I've been watching Honey Hole Outdoors hosted by Bill Wilcox. He mostly fishes Texas lakes, fishes in ways I like to fish except that he is not a finesse guy. He has done a show on Table Rock where he didn't so very well, and is saw his name pop up in the standings on the lasted TR Big Bass deal so it would not surprise me if he filmed it. For years he had been sponsored by BPS, he'd give an overview of the show where he'd be sitting in a BPS store and he'd fish out of a Nitro. This year he's in his garage or at the ramp, and he is in a Phoenix. This weeks show he took a swim, looks like he was hung up on something so he steps in front of the graphs on the bow, loses his balance and falls right in. Fortunately it was in a warm-water powerplant lake, but the air temps were cold. He also had a cameraman to help him get back in the boat. They went back to the truck, changed into some dry clothes, and went back to fishing.

Yeah I can't eat fish every day, for every meal. I think most of us, if we wanted to, could fill the a couple of freezers with fish.

That is a great day, congrats1

Same buddy that killed them a couple of days ago had a very tough day yesterday. They would not touch a crank. Fog and no wind early.

Hey I picked the winner! Unfortunately my other 4 guys didn't do any good.

On light tackle I bet those 20 lbers would be a hoot.

Some of those hunting shows are funny. I remember one where a guy shot some kind of rare African antelope on one of those TX high fence deals. The "guide" drove the hunter down a dirt road to the pasture where the antelope were grazing in a pasture. The hunter sets up his rifle on the hood of the jeep and shoots one of the antelope. I'm guessing you'd pay at least $10,000 for that 'experience'. To each his own, but that would not be for me even if I had Bill Gates type money.

Sounds like a great vacation! Have you ever fished for tarpon? One of these days I'm going to head to FL to do some tarpon fishing.

I haven't been out to TR since Monday, but a buddy was out yesterday and had a really good day on cranks.

Never have liked the fishing shows where they fish a private lake and talk about what a great lure they are throwing. If they want to sell me a lure, film your show on Table Rock or better yet, Beaver and show me how it does on the highly pressured lakes we fish.

Little Sugar creek has quite a bit of access from the concrete bike trail that you can access off of HWY 71. Smallies, spots and panfish in the creek. You won't catch any giants, but you should find some action. Where the creek runs through the BV golf course is not accessible, but above and below there's quite a bit of access, you'll just have to get out and poke around to find it.

It's a new product. Popped up in their weekly new stuff notice for last week.

Have a drone fly it out and drop it.

Timely topic considering there is a BPS bow fishing tourney May 1 and 2 that encompasses Table Rock, Truman, and Bull Shoals.

One would think, that for $1,147, a lure would be ready to fish right out of the box and you would not have to wait for the leather to "absorb water". If the date was 4/1 then I'd call this whole thing an April's Fool prank.

For $1,147 you should get any color you want, however I think it only comes in white.

Ha! I bet if you woke up one morning and saw me "frolicking naked" in your yard, you'd be reaching for the shooting iron - not that I'd blame you..😁

I wish I would not have read this...🥵

Yep, and if you're having a bad day fishing, and someone asks you how you're doing, just say that you're doing "research". 😁

Yeah why not kill off the other fragile grasses and shoot for a yard of nothing but Kentucky crab grass? Then a guy can spend his time fishing instead of pampering some hard to grow variety of grass.

Man this thing looks deadly, I think I'll get 2 of them. NOT! Covered in leather, which needs to be "aged". Comes with operating and storage instructions. Manifold Deniro Yugo Frame 550 Glide Bait - Tackle Warehouse

Yeah, I am NOT going with Zaldain this week which probably means he'll win. I've been burned by him all year.

BPS spent $3,000 to "decontaminate" the tank after Florida Man's swim. If I was Florida Man, I'd be a little insulted.
