I bought one of those Waffle House mugs for home use. I like the thick walls that seem to hold the warmth longer.

Glad to see you are still braving the heat. Jumping overboard would help if it wasn't so darn hard to get back in the boat.

Good report Mr. Bruce! Can't help but wonder if that little bass would have actually been able to eat that shiner if he'd caught it without a hook!? I've seen a video of a small catfish eating a bream and ending up with a huge bulging belly, but with scales, that may not be an option for bass.

Hope you and Ms. Didi are doing well these days. I haven't been able to go fishing for a while, but I still read through the posts for inspiration! :)

It takes a certain level of skill to catch a fish that small.....only people with that skill level can wear such an awesome shirt.

I would've mounted that Bass. The way they charge now so much per inch, is the only way I could afford one. Get a real close up picture and he could be any weight you want it to be. 10 pounder caught in Henderson.

Happened to me and Jlaughlin once at bundicks. We were both in separate boats and then my brother was across the lake from us and sunk his little 2 man bass boat. And it was cold! Thank God there Happened to be a guy at his camp that saw them and went out and got them. I didn't know anything about it until my brother called me later that night.
