I hope a big fat one takes a squat in y'all's eye before you can draw a bead on him!

I've been wondering where you went to Kevin!... lemme guess... it involved a cute little female I'll bet!!! Welcome Back!!!

There's only one way to deal with an unruly fish! ... the only good fish, is a dead fish!!!

I won't be able to make it, for obvious reasons. But congratulations on getting hitched!!! ... now y'all will be just as miserable as the rest of us married folks!!!

Good to see you got out and terrorized the skinny water Salmoonoids Feedell!!! I suspected some camera angle enhancement in the first pic! ... not that there's anything wrong with that.

That was a great report and pics!!! If you think the sun is hot in the Spring down here in the South... you should try it in July, August, and September!!!

Try an epic manuevre on your keyboard and click the back button twice or press the end button once when you come across something you don't like in a thread! ... it's the same thing I do when someone posts on their brothers fight or a day of fishing with their "ghetto gangsta" wanna be friends... that is if I even open the thread.

A large plastic garbage bag would be a good thing to take when shore fishing to lay the fish on if they're not going to be kept.

Na, just being a 1/2 ton I'd say it's the 3:55 because it's 4WD. I'd hate to have to feed that 3:92 gas hawg!!!

Yes, central Alabama. The water has warmed up nicely, no longer freezing cold when you wash the Catfish slime off of your hands. The Crappie should be "doing the nasty" in anothe week or two, they usually spawn down here when the water hits the 62*F range.

Such a beautiful fish!!! What a shame it was wasted!!! ... maybe someone should explain to the populous that gaffs are for sissy's and transexuals... real men aren't afraid to use their hands to land a fish!!!

Any boat with a name like Smokercraft has got to be good!!! Y'all just wait 'til I catch my 57x33 Crappie!!!

I personally... wouldn't have it!!!... there's too many good Shimano spinning reels out there for half the price!!!

Great catfish/bullhead chum!!!

The rod, reel, and line are consequential!!!... just as long as you have the 6 treble quick strike rig!!!!!!!

You done good Matt! What size engine and what ratio rear end did you get?... got any pics of her??? Going to to a new car/truck dealership to buy, is kinda like going into a room full of beautiful women... picking out the one you like and saying "You're coming home with me!"

They usually cover their by stating somewhere in the Ad that Quantities Are Limited!!! ... did you ask for a "rain check"?

That's a real nice slimer you got the Dirk!!! Whenever I get home from a good day of fishin' and Ol' Yeller asks me if I caught anything, I like to hold my fish holding hand over her nose and mouth and say "smell"!!!... she usually screams and comes out with a round house right! , I know exactly when to duck and weave now!!!

Minnows are cheaper down here Jacques, $1.25 a dozen and they don't count them out. They use a small can to dip them out of the net with and it's usually 18 or 20 to the can.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Crappie offspring!!!... nom nom nom!!! The lake I fish most of the time (Neely Henry) has a 3 rod limit, the lake right above it (Lake Weiss) on the same river chain also has a 3 rod limit. These are the only 2 lakes in the State of Alabama that have a limit on the number of rods you can fish with. You can use as many rods as you want on all the other lakes... you could use 100 or more if you wanted to!!! I really like the 3 rod limit on lake Henry! It reduces traffic and fishing pressure from the Spider Rig Crappie fishermen! They rig their boats with 10-15 rods per person and do the slow troll method. Here's a guy that fishes 16 rods by himself: This is completely leagal down here except for the 2 lakes I mentioned.

Very nice report and pics Jacques!!! You can't beat quality fishing time with family!

Do like Mike the Pike does and beat the hell out of the fish with the net until it comes off the hook... after a couple times of that they won't be bothering you!!!

If you didn't catch any fish... it was because you don't deserve any!!! I didn't deserve any for about 6 weeks!, but I kept making sacrifices to the fishing gods of time, minnows, and tackle! I have just now begun to be rewarded with fish again... you must appease the fishing gods!!!

What's yer point???... yer already a sore thumb!!!

A live bait circle hook will hook the fish without setting the hook, the circle hook "sets" when the fish swims away from the rod. When you see the rod bowed, just start reeling! And you don't have to worry about deep or gut hooked fish either, the circle hook will dig into the corner of the fishes mouth as he swims away 95% of the time. These are my favorite Circle Hooks, and I prefer the 3/0 size.
