Man that black/blue gremlin has caught me so many bass in the Spring. 

I have a tournament coming up on a lake where rock bass are known to be a nuisance and they’re always mixed in with Smallies.  Any tips to offer to try and keep rock bass off your bait?

When pulling up to a grassy area, how do you go about breaking it down to fish the high % spots?  We have areas with surface mats to submerged weeds in 13ft of water.  

2nd question….Also how would you fish weeds in 9-13ft of water that grow right to the surface?

Is that a Tilapia? 

Why didn’t I think of that

Yeah I can’t even skip with a baitcaster to save my hide. 

Love a sim jig!  Do you ever put your goat on sideways to give it more “tail action”

After my trip down to GA for the SUF Classic, I upgraded to a heavier duty jack wheel on the trailer.  When the tow guy was putting my boat on the flat bed the jack wheel bolts snapped under the pressure of pulling it up onto the flatbed.  If it has to be towed again I’m hoping the heavier duty part will hold. 

Solid!  What’s your preferred swim jig Ken?

I can’t get the video to play.  Is it me or is anyone else having trouble?
