Impossible to pick a favorite. Can you??

Do you think these caught any fish?🧐
And more importantly, would YOU fish them? Or hang them up?

They were still as soft (if not softer) than the day they were made and sure have a ton of action!

Found a handful of packs at a goodwill and just had to grab them. What an experience finding such an ancient piece of bass fishing history!

Fall is in the air🍂

Those nights have gotten cold in a hurry! The fish are still moving around but it’s been tricky to track the better ones down.

Northern Strain fish LOVE the jig🫣

@dirtyjigstackle Tour Level Football paired with a @yamamoto_fishing Flappin Hog is a sure way to get bit around rock💰

Never ceases to amaze me how these northern fish are built. Praying I run into one of these in a 23+ inch frame someday soon.

“Should I swing it?”

Spinning rods are my worst nightmare but I’m slowly learning how to use them more and more. Still doubt it’ll ever be a permanent staple in my arsenal but the fish sure do fight a lot harder on light gear!

@fishboy_rice also informed me while we were out there that I need to make it known that I don’t “just catch big fish” so here’s proof🤣

Top water blow ups never get old😮‍💨

Early morning fog socked the river in so we got to work with the walking baits and got into em!

I’m freaking out I’ve gotta call my wife🫨

Couldn’t contain my excitement with this one.

A fish I’ve spent so many hours learning without success…Finally paid off.

Did it on one of my favorite ways to catch em too, the ole cranking stick:
Shimano Antares HG x Megabass Orochi XX “EMTF” keeps them pinned!

6.87x21.5

A spotted bass that sets the benchmark.

Kept this one mostly to myself for a bit, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to stick a fish of this caliber, and even more motivated to do it again.

Gear/C2C coming in the near future.

One of my recent projects.

The mundane fixes and maintenance that keeps us on the water rarely gets posted on IG so I try to incorporate as much as I can.

Bunk ended up rotting out but thankfully had enough juice left to get the boat in the water one more time without causing any damage to replace it with some new DIY ones🫣

Dog-X gets munched🐷

One of the coolest, most obnoxious walking baits out there.

Rifle season opened today so naturally we went fishing instead 🎣
