I am gonna keep it simple: Yellowfin/Bigeye tuna. I still want to do other fishing, but that for sure.

That weekend I am putting my toes in some saltwater...just not sure where yet. Maybe later in the month???

I did not make my goal of floating 100 miles in a kayak. Life happened but I got probably 50 miles in. I still consider it a success. I went offshore in MS, inshore in MS, Surf fished and inshore fished in Texas. I floated the South Fork, bryant creek, and NFoW, and did some great trout fishing. Goals for 2020?? Simple:yellowfin/bigeye tuna!

If you need a second or third for a venice trip I am only a text away 😂

we can fix that

you should, heck you dont even need trout tackle right @Seth

the shitshow started early thats for sure

My buddy told me today he cant go fishing new years for our Grand Isle trip but I am wanting to go pretty bad still. I am leaving new years night, and coming back jan 5(sunday). I am either going to take kayaks or my modified jon boat. Lots of people have mentioned wanting to go but???

They were both 5+lb Rather than be upset that they got away, It is going to make me focus on hunting them even more.

Well it wont let me upload any more pictures!

Saturday I hooked up with @Seth and @Daryk Campbell Sr went to Norfork to due to the lower releases. Welcome to the monkey dodo show! I caught a bow on my first cast and within 30 minutes had a white river slam. After that I committed to fishing for big browns, as numbers just didn't matter to me at that point. I was throwing big jerkbaits and catching decent fish, when I decided to do some creek bassfishing with a wiggle wart. Almost immediately I start catching 20" browns, then hook a BIG one that refused to stay in the water. It kept jumping, and at one point I had the rod tip down in the water to keep the fish in. @Daryk Campbell Sr went to net the fish but @JestersHK cursed net did not co operate. At that point @Seth said "just boat flip it" and I had a serious lapse of judgement and tried it.....and snapped 12lb test line. We spent the next 20 minutes solid laughing, probably so I didn't cry. It was honestly an awesome day, and I cannot wait for next year #crankfest2020!

Jigfest 2019 was probably my favorite of all the years. Thursday night's dinner was amazing. @N9BOW pulled pork was great, the sauce was killer. My wings and mac n cheese were well received also...and that cheesecake @JestersHK brought was stupid good, along with Les's stuffed mushrooms...I thought I was gonna pop! Friday I started off with @LittleRedFisherman for an hour or so until his buddy nick showed up. Fishing was hard at the mouth of the buffalo. I caught one and I think Brett had two before we went back to the ramp so I could hop in with @ZigJigman and make the run up to the mouth of Crooked creek. Fishing was hard, I caught two at the mouth of CC with a white custom "gotmuddy" jig and a brown trout countdown. After we left there we decided to drift down and fish seams/eddy's/pockets hoping for big browns on jerkbaits. Just below CC I hooked a big brown but he spit out the hooks about 15ft from the boat. That was my last fish.

I am supposed to be in Grand Aisle, LA that weekend.

Thats a great strategy, just dont let it become a "job"

Thats what I'm talkin about! I love weber kettles. I have two I use myself. I need to get a couple foil pans, I forgot my skillet this morning.

lol you said there was "plenty of room" for wings and mac n cheese. You firing up another weber? or are we doing the wings/mac after the butts are done?

Sounds great

No problem. What time yall want to eat tomorrow night? I've got 4lb of wings and mac n cheese to smoke.

@WoundedOne are you bringing some of that fancy smoked cheese?

I will bring a sweet onion, and maybe some jalapenos!

Looks terrible, we will likely have to throw it out.🤣😂 What does everyone like in their chili? i prefer fritos, but I can get saltines, oyster crackers, or whatever. Also getting sour cream. Maybe we can get some of that fancy smoked cheese for it???

I love the upstream ramp, the rileys also have a ramp thats a good angle, but its gravel(need 4wd)

I am going thru my crankbaits/jerkbaits today. I am probably going to have a rod with each.

Even if the White is super high, you can get out of the current and catch tons of fish.
