That is a drum for sure…they get big in the south…and croke like a catfish

Would really love to hang and fish with y’all at Hartwell…no vacation for me till May this year. The retreat is on my bucket list though!

The life of a professional fisherman…Jimmy was a fishing icon in my youth…I’m sure he will be at the TSC annual sales meeting trade show Monday in the Shell booth. It’s fascinating to me to see the pros balancing fishing success with popularity…at the end of the day…we all love bass fishing!!!

And blade color… Silver versus gold versus painted… does it matter with different skirt colors or is it about water clarity?

Love it! Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the downsized chatter bait like the MiniMax too

Man…sorry to hear that Blat!

Use your experience and all your knowledge and take smart risks… success is the intersection of preparation and opportunity!

Great attitude! Sometimes our attitude is the only thing we can control in life!

And you need to flush out your motor really good after it runs in salt water… the guys I have fished with flush theirs every trip

I watched the YouTube…that reel looked a lot like a shimano SLX…but it didn’t sound like one LOL
