Today’s Top 5
Caught yesterday from LA’s Poverty Point Rez, guy who nailed it didn’t want to say jack but apparently was caught on a “plastic worm.” Specs: 14.08 lbs, 23.5″ length, 24.75″ girth!
Fatter than it was long…almost makes it square.
Otherwise known as an impression of “the spinnerbait kid,” but whatever — it’s good!
“Come visit us sometime.” That fo sho is Guy, good people.
Check it:
Could tell him that you don’t have to be in a boat to fly a kite, but…nah.
Terry Scroggins cooks up some pizgetty and meaty balls, and here’s what it looks like all done:
That’s a Golden Corral portion / sleeping pill — maybe Scroggins served that to Oregon before the game last night??

9. TX: Higher gar limits coming to Falcon.
May help basses? Btw, don’t get a gar toof in your hand: #nasty
Interview bassin’ pioneers, ask them questions. Love it. Had a similar idea some years back, never pursued it, glad for the Bass Fishing Archives, which might be who db needs….
11. Ranger’s new MyDreamRig.com.
12. MI wants bass derby system used.
My opinion: waste of time and money. They’ve already spent $8 million [!!] trying to keep milfoil out of Lake George. Biological pollution is the hardest type of pollution to get rid of.
> “I just see how much money we’re spending on one of our lakes. If we’re spending $400,000 just to control one invasive in one of our three lakes, how are we ever going to deal with five or 10 invasives in all three lakes?”
Wait…money doesn’t solve everything?? Then why do we need gummints….
14. Lake Michigan ice boulders.
Maybe because…
15. …Ice fishing/bowling league??
> …Lake of the Woods… “There must be some huge Wii bowling league up there in ice houses because everybody wants a big, wide open [ice] house with a TV in front for Wii bowling….”
Who knew you could bowl and fish at the same time?
Tip of the Day
Zona: Unpack your rig.
From a story I did with Z for Bass Quest mag, which let me assure you is unlike any story ever done in the history o’ bassin’ so y’all better git it!
> Empty out your boat two or three times a year. Empty everything out. I do it probably 15 times a year.
> I take everything out of the boat and put everything back in. Weights, hooks, lures, soft-plastics, hard baits, safety things like flares and throw cushions, props, trolling motor pins. When I do it, it doesn’t take an hour, it takes days.
> I can’t stand when I get in somebody’s boat and something happens mechanically or fishing-wise, and I’m like, “Dude where is this?” and they look at me like, “I don’t know.” No. That’s unaccep.
Quote of the Day
Referring to him as “The Squirrel,” Kevin preyed on Kriet’s nervous nature. It worked, too. Kriet eventually folded under the pressure.
– Bernie Schultz writin’ ’bout KVD’s intimidation tactics. Another:
> During an event on Lake Guntersville, I watched as Kevin VanDam approached tournament leader, Kelly Jordon, just prior to takeoff on the final day of competition. At first, I thought he was going to wish Kelly good luck. Instead, he delivered a very stern warning — telling Kelly he better not slip up, otherwise he would bury him at the scales that afternoon.
Dang son! Here’s another way of expressing the same thang:
