Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families. Here at the Kumars we go around the saying what we’re thankful for. Aside from the Big Man, basses and bird dogs, I’m thankful for these folks and others like them – toughest job in the world – seen here eating their turkey-day dinners. God bless the USA.
Today’s Top 5
As the guy who caught it said, Derda Der!
Weirdest angle ever for a big-fish shot but whatever:
> This past Thursday afternoon, angler David Roulston of Frisco was fishing a Carolina-rigged Zoom Brush Hog in about 25 feet when he hooked and landed a 13.88-lb largemouth.
> …the first in the 2014-15 season…the ShareLunker program’s 6-month “season,” set to cover the period from when female largemouths begin developing eggs though the peak of the fishes’ spring spawn, officially opens Oct. 1 and runs through April 30.
Looks like the rumor about expired Twinkies being dumped in Fork are true. Wait…Twinkies don’t expire?
Nice feesh! Ketched by dude named Brent Kegley:
> “It was sunny at first, but then it turned cloudy with winds pushing over 10 mph.”
Yep:
Case yer doubtin’ that, check this sweet vid of Elite pros talkin’ ’bout the man hisself:
Remember this largie runnin’ from the 5-0?

God bless Abby Grace. If you’ve got a few shekels, drop ’em here to support the cause.
2. New Solar Bat A-Mart shades out.
> …the new Aaron Martens designed sunglass, The Natural. Solar Bat will offer The Natural in three different frame colors including Aaron’s signature black and purple. The Natural is available in seven different performance fishing lens tints and two different lens sizes, one for low cheek bones and one for full cheek bones.
> Aaron: “I like the more shallow lens shape for all around wear and the deep lens shape for sight fishing.”
…to make the Elites. Why? My daughter is, yours could be too.
Keep forgettin’ to include this, doh! Sorry…and congrats to the wildmen at Lew’s. Cost?
That’s a lotta rods and reels yo!
Pee Dee! Monongahela!
Very cool new thang from a company called Floating Island International:
> …buoyant artificial wetlands, nearly 6,000 of which are now deployed worldwide….
> A suite of islands installed behind a museum in Durham, NC, improved total nitrogen removal by almost 30 percent. Another increased ammonia removal from a Billings, MT wastewater lagoon by 38 percent.
Here’s a shot of one, which should come with a sign that says, “Flip me:”
CA Scene
Lookit that ramp!
> “It’s designed for a very small group of very wealthy large farmers who have been trying to do this for almost 50 years. They’re putting everybody else in peril.”
What?? That never happens, man!

3. A quick glance at his Northern California Golf Association member ledger shows he’s posted six rounds in the 60s since late summer, including a sparkling 65.
– From an article about Skeet Reese’s brother’s golfing…for some reason.
