That's the same way I do mine.. I've lost so many flippers it ain't even funny. lost a 22" one during a tournament once that BROKE my heart.! Bad words were heard all over the land ....and water. lol.

it was good seeing you at the tournament yesterday bro, and congratulations!!

Yes sirrr.! I love that night bite.. Fishing dock lights at night on lake Sinclair produces some big ones.. and it cuts way down on trying to decide where to cast.. I always position my kayak out on the edge of the dock, in the dark and fan cast, starting out deep and fan casting from the edge of the light all the way to up under the light.. love it..!

Chris, enter the TRF free online monthlong tournaments. they have them every month. sometimes it's your one biggest bass, sometimes it's your 3 biggest, sometimes it's your 5.. there's only a 1st place award but atleast it keeps you fresh ..and you can see where you stand among other anglers..TRF (Tyler's Reel Fishing) on fishing chaos.

Chris, I met you at the awards at Clarks Hill last month.. Well, I didn't formally meet you, but I was standing there talking to Marvin Santana, Doug King, Eric Hawks.. when you came over and was talking to them.. I fish with SEGKBF and GAKFL, not Bass Nation tho.. (2 clubs fishing together deal)

What area were you fishing and what bait..? ha ha, I'm just kidding, don't tell me. Good luck this weekend, I'll probably see u at the awards..

Brian Latimer I'm fishing the same tournament at Sinclair this Saturday... I've seen plenty of bait balls, and fry balls, but actually haven't gotten there early enough to see any shad spawning. It's gonna be hard for me to catch a limit there this weekend.. Only caught 3 yesterday and it took me 11 hours to catch those 3..(altho one was 20.25"!)

OK.. Adding that to my notes....: Turpentine for wet farts.. Got it. Thanks.!!

WoW.!! I've caught shoal, spots, althama, largemouth, stripers, .... never had the opportunity to catch a small mouth.. it's on my bucket list.!! that's a nice one !!
