Shallow running crankbaits when there is grass for me to run it thru puts a smile on my face. 

Same for me, barb was just past my skin so I just worked it back and forth with pliers until the hole was big enough to get it out. Lots of blood, wiped it off, got bandaged to continue to fish 😀

Recently, I got a treble hook in my finger. BLAT- what are some of your injuries that occurred while fishing?

I fished one in NC this past weekend. It did pretty good going thru the grass. Even when you felt it hook grass , you could pull it free and most of the time it was grass free. It has good action. I caught one 16 inch largemouth bass on it. 

Sounds good. Yes, I caught fish on Roanoke Rapids Lake in NC. 

I’m happy to join if you can catch me not fishing. 😀

I’ll take one of those this weekend. 😀

I can make it now.

I know you have promoted to be a co-angler for the professional tournaments that have the openings. I have read stories that they are not filling all the co-anglers spots due to a lack of people signing up. Some say it’s because of forward facing sonar and there is nothing for the co-anglers to do all day. 

I want to participate next year and may just choose places that are less conducive for FFS. What are your thoughts about this trend?
