I use 15lb braid to 12lb leader.. is this overkill or acceptable? And I use 50lb braid on my frog rod..

Yes..! Daniel has been a huge mentor to me in learning how to tournament fish.. I joined his club (SEGKBF) 2 years ago and haven't missed a single one of them.. even managed to win one on lake julliette, and win a Derby on the Canoochie river..! Thanks for always being there for me Daniel... Our friendship means a lot to me..!

Thanks Christopher.. it's not something I really talk about to my circle of friends now, xause it's not something I'm proud of at all.. but it us my past, not my present, and dang sure not my future...! Thanks.!!

Thanks Destiny... I almost took it down, wasn't sure if I should be opening myself up like that... but it is my past, and I'm excited about my future...Thanks..!

Thanks Tom..I'm a believe now..!

I stay in the rivers in the summertime ..!! Fish bite better and it's easier to cool off.!!

I see you knocked me down into 7th place...! Long as I stay in top 10 we cool.. ha ha.. just kidding, awesome job man..!!

It's a small pond near the oconee river.. actually, the huge gator *there's a small one there also) that lives there goes back and forth between the river and a pond, thru a creek.. I'm supposed to keep quiet about the pond, but I've never been a good gatekeeper..last year I caught a 23.50" and several 21 and 22's... if u go, and run into anyone just don't tell them I told u..lol... it's public tho.. called Georgia pond number 9..right across from central state boatramp..

Thanks guys.. and yes, it was an awesome find.. It looked like to me, cause three of them in one tree were all tangled up together.. looks like they got one hung up, then we're casting the other ones trying to free it.. lol. Just my guess, but on a big tree, with no way to get to it unless you were in a kayak and they obviously weren't.. maybe that happened.. but yeah, I even tied the popping frog on and 5 casts later caught a 3.38lb bass..lol

I've never seen a lure that you can hook a fluke onto like that.. cool idea..!
