What if they find out that chicken chit the farmers are putting on the land is killing the drum or the cell phones.Or,stress, maybe the little rock they have in the head is busting knowing someone is going to throw them on the bank lol.

But wow the first 10 seconds is fun.Quote:

Nimrod,
In the summer, I bet I throw 50-60 a day on the bank. Them soft mouthed suckers can strip a line of all the shad before ya can get to the last hook on a long line.
The lock master at #6 calls me "goo-killa". LA piles 'em high and won't think twice about. Ain't no shame in my game.
Dog my garden is so full of fish , I'm afraid it will smell terriable come planting time.:eek::D
I dug so many holes in the garden for catfish guts and bones when I was a kid, we had to fillet our tomatoes.Quote:

I hate fishing the on the river during the summer month due to the number of drum i catch, i always try to go into the back waters to catch my bass. Them ole drum have ruined more of my tournament wins that i care to count. But i have ruined way more of them drums day than they have of my tournament days.Quote:

10 sec....lol your still catching little ones,the thump and the fight the LARGER drum gives a faller they should be rated number one in line breakers.Chopped up drum makes good long line bait too,,,so does 1 1/2lb crappie and small channel cats.
Turtle bait, when you are fishing with 7'6'' heavy action bass rods with twenty pound test, and a half ounce bass jig and one of those 25 pound drum hits, i set the hook so hard that it cause that little rock in their head to break, it makes gravel, they dont have alot of fight when you set the hook hard enuff to rip thier head off and thier lips get loose to.Quote:

I dont have a boat seat, I stand up to bass fish, try again. Them ole bass are more fun to catch than any other fresh water species i have caught. We them big ole flatheads i have caught were alot of fun. I may just have me a bumper sticker made that sayQuote:

My way of thinking the lg mouth should be beat over head with boat paddle and left for turtlebait or throwed on the bank with the rest of the trash fish.
The Ky and smallie in the 2 lb range are worth their wt. in gold for the dinner table..
I've caught 2lb drum and bon'fin that fight harder than a 6lb lg mouth bass,I hope thier blood line doesn't mix in with other breeds of fish.
Hey turtlebait I have seen crappie fisherman do that before. Now turtlebait, why would someone knock a bass in the head and leave it for you to pick up, now you can go catch them with out having someone leave them for you.Quote:

I aint never been bit by a ole cottom mouth but if they strike like a angry bass does you can count me out. Them ole bass have a tendancy to try and hurt ya when they strike.:DQuote:

Drum strike harder, Gar can out jump , German Carp can fight longer, and Grinnel can out pull. Guess Green Carp (Bass) don't even compete these days as trash fish. LOL LOL LOLQuote:

If ya'll really have such a dislike for Bass, You should get out of fishing totally, Bass rule, crappie dreul, and bream, well they make good flathead bait. Any other fish is just a trash fish.Quote:

Once deer season is basicly over I can do with out he cold winter weather.I am ready for the mid 60s during the day and the mid 40s at night for temps.
If we gona talk about a fish putting up a fight it proly shouldnt be on a crappie forum.
Who ain't?:confused:Quote:

When you fry old bucket mouth you can smell his sicking stink for miles,the smell gets inbeded in your cloths and hair.You can tell the differents in a panfisherman and a bass fisherman by looking at his grin and the look in his eyes.
I dont fry ole bucketmouth, they are the most fun to catch, so I support catch and release. I only eat panfish and flathead catfish.Quote:

Y'all keep on and Crappie.com is gonna ruin your drum holes and we'll have folks griping about bumper boats on the river...
Bumper boats on the river would be ok with me, catch all them drum y'all want, just be sure to thro them on the bank, for a raccoon buffet.Quote:
