I have the roll up traveling board, it's a pain beating the banks and catching one and having to dig it out of my back pack then trying to get a picture. Usually don't have to much of a problem of them jumping around, but so much finding a good flat surface so they don't slide around/off the board.

The coloration on that largemourh is gorgeous! Great looking replicas, I'll have to check him out!

So is there an actual way to tell if the bass is Florida or northern strain by looking at he scales? Nice fish though!!!

True about the story part because I caught a catfish and I wouldn't consider it mouth worthy but the fact it ate an 6 magdraft and was albino just made it soo epic. Something I'll remember for the rest of my life that's forsure.

Just wanna here some opinions on what y'all consider a mount worthy fish for largemouth smallmouth and spotted bass. I'm from Ohio and haven't seen giant bass, that others have in there part of the country. I know Ohio has some but they're tuff to get. But for me I'd have to say for largemourh has to be 9 poind if a northern strain but anything else gotta be at least 10 pounds. Smallmouth bass 7 pounds and not very familiar with spotted bass but I'd probably have to say 7 pounds as well. If yah got any giants mouth replica or skins let's see em too!

Been on the egde about possibly getting one of these bad boys for the new fishing season next year but would like to here y'all opions on them. Seem like there in hot demand. Most likely would try to get a billed or non billed floating one so some feedback on those in specific would be great!

Show me y'all's belly boat setups, i have one but don't really have the confidence yet to go out on the water with it. Also wondering how it is throwing a swimbait from it and how you'd rig a rod holders to the side of it. Seen some pictures on the internet but can't see good enough to get an idea on how to make one.

As much as I'd like to get some type of megabass little bit over my budget. Definitely goals though heard good things about their rods might have to give the irod Jr a try. Thanks for the feedback y'all.

Looking to get a small swimbait setup over the winter to try and tackle some of my local Creek smallmouths on next year. Only probably is I'm having a hard time picking out a good rod for the application. The biggest swimbait I'd throw would probably only weight about an ounce and a half maybe. Give you and idea I'd be throwing 5 inch floater bullshad, 5 line through rising son, islide 135, deps 145 and maybe a light A-rigs. I was looking at a dobyns fury 764 or maybe a dobyns champion 794 but just would like some feedback if anyone has used those for such applications or have a better rod option. Currently was using a jig rod and heavier cranking stick which both worked out fine just wanted a dedicated rod.

Been in a little bit of a slump with the swimbait bite lately but was finally able to hook up with a decent 4.3. Don't know why I haven't been able to get anything bigger than that ha, almost all my swimbait fish this year have weighed 4.3 on the dot. Its like there clones of each other.
