Thanks for everything Brian appreciate all you do for the fishing community I haven’t been as active lately been working a lot.. heading out in the morning for the Carolina lunker seekers 2024 finals.. I hope all is good your way.. remember if you can’t find a good person be the good person..

Jig bite was good

I have bought a lot of frogs because of this reason went and bought a dedicated frog setup aswell.. my best hookup ratio is on the ish Monroe phat frog and the booyah frog. 3rd is the scum frog.. I’ve tried probably 20 different frog brands..

Mark Jonas the gator gaurd to me is too thin won’t last that long .08 kydex I don’t think you will ever wear through it..

I molded kydex to the front of my pdl106 and it’s so much better I run it up on concrete boat ramps all the time.. if it was my kayak I wouldn’t worry about plati welding it it’s not that bad just get a keel guard it’s not hard to do.. use 3m double sided tape after molding and then use goop Marine sealant around the edges

It’s just a overall better built reel.. I use the hs150 for a frog reel and a dobyns 735 it’s the best reel under 200 by a long shot.. it’s hard to really describe unless you use one.. I have 2 slx’s and a inception g2 .. this blows them both out the water

lol it happens got all tied up with questions

I’m going to try my best I live in the boonies Internet is dsl

Ned rig drop shot maybe a football jig

I’ve caught some of these local they have red eyes which I I thought was weird .. they don’t seem to get as big as black bass 3lb max.. what are they Brian Latimer
