This one is called probation. I took the pic and created the title. We're gonna let the other gewber tell the story, cause he's a good story teller.

Interesting
Awesome pics, story………. :popcorn
Slab did you not catch anything? Didn’t see you with any.
C1bigocarp is a friend of mine from Manchester TN. A friend you can trust with the keys to your house kind of friend. We fished together a good bit when I lived there and made a few excellent trips catching lots of fish. The man knew his stuff and the local waters. He and I made a trip one day and as I remember, conditions were bordering on pretty tough. He was up in the front of his Stratos managing the TM and other assorted duties and I was in the back doing what I do best…..catching fish. I didn’t pay much attention to things as the day progressed and we had a pretty good box of fish. As we made our way to the ramp he informed me that we couldn’t fish together for a while as I was on probation. I had no clue what he was talking about and told him so in no uncertain terms. He said that I had trounced him soundly from the back of HIS boat and that was bad etiquette so I was on probation til further notice. And I guess he meant it cuz we didn’t share his boat for the next 15 months. We’re still friends and laugh about this whenever it comes up, but Slab received the same treatment today as luck seemed to be on my side. Skeet-5……Slab- 0. I’m guessing that this is my notification that I’m on probation again. Jeeeez!!
A great time trashin around with the boss was had even though the winds and a major front had other ideas. Thanks for the ride Boss, guess it’ll have to be my boat next time.
Gewber huh?
Slab also showed me around his live scope setup, and it’s pretty cool. It didn’t help us a bit but I see the concept and it’s value. The new/old boat is pimped out with all kinds of goodies and cut the chop much better than my flat bottom tin boat would’ve done. A tinkering man’s dreamboat.
Good stuff y’all
Great times for sure !
thanks for sharing!
Cool deal!:highfive Jealousy can sometimes yield some harsh characteristics by folks that are typically more favorably controlled.nonono The truth, imho, is that Slab, El Capitan, actually put YOU on the Feeshes! No matter the reason, I cast my vote for a Post-title change to it's antonym= OVATION!!:cheers2 Hopefully Skeet, you somehow marked those fish before doing your stereotypical C & R...that way when Slab returns to those EXACT SPOTS he will enjoy the satisfaction of "other fish"(Besides Tilapia) being in his backyard!:fish:Rofl
Was he really filming you the entire trip to hopefully explain his lack of Proud-Papa Pics!??:biggrin
Mr. Finesse pretty much caught them all on his own. One time he even used my pole to show me that it worked too! I dono, some peeps got it and some peeps don't. Billbob shows me up, William shows me up, wifey shows me up, daughter shows me up, Skeetbum shows me up. Maybe I need a new more better, more lucky for me boat, that's what I'm thinking! lol :bashQuote:

Some people are fish catchers others are trolling motor runners. I can run the heck out of a trolling motor:Rofl. Front seat boat pilot credentials I have
Not that at all Ed...shows me the GENEROUS person that you are! Now, a way to easily prove that = put a little MOOLAH wager on each fish caught!:highfive
Possible TILAPIA.com in our future?:biggrin
Saltwater too?White Flag IconQuote:

It was a good morning with the boss. He knew exactly where to go and drove right to it. He’s just busy doin other stuff and enjoying the company of the day. He did get to use mine for a while but wasn’t enamored with it. Difference of day and night but they both do the job. Nino could not believe his eyes Slab, absolutely loved it and said thank you so much. You’ll no doubt see it in future posts. Stickers in place and my Queen loved her shirt. Now I’ve got to figure out how to get him on my boat when the crazy people aren’t out in droves. Slab knows how but he’s an excellent sandbagger. Always gives his guests the upper hand.

They weren’t like that when I selected em. Help!
And for the record, he did receive a few jigs that have caught Tilapia for me so don’t be surprised what he may post in the coming days.
I may be trying to do Tims finesse thing one more time. We'll see. I did like his setup, casted a country mile with some great Varivas line in it with a jig that weighed nothing.
Spot on about the line, which I’m kinda new to. For years I’ve used Berkeley Nanofil because I couldn’t find anything that cast my little jigs any distance at all. Nanofil has no memory and cast like nothing else but it has a lot of negative aspects that I didn’t care for. Abrasion resistance being the first one and it has none. I tried some of the Varivas PE line and I no longer have any Nanofil on any of my rods. This Varivas has changed the way I look at line. It’s tough and cast a long way. Zero memory and zero stretch let’s me feel everything. I’m a happy boy but the fish…….not so much.
Or you could find someone else to fish with that catches less fish than you and that way you will be the catcherman and not the fisherman!!!!!!!!! Pretty good idea. It is all about how you look at it...Good luck.
Tndux, it’s hard to catch less fish than slab. He’s got a one fish limit!
Maybe he will take his dog on as his new partner. Maybe that Boston will not out fish him!!!!
Wowser Slab = This post(Title?) has received quite a positive view vs reply equation! Possible past/present/future Parollee membership?[emoji1787]

You can’t be fishing in Florida right now with a hoodie on .. you would have a heat stroke.

That morning with skeetbum was very cool. I actually had a long sleeve shirt on which I never wear.

Amen to that slab. Had my hoodie in the truck and said to myself that if I didn’t take it, I’d want it. In the wind and the shade it was nippy. Glad I had it. I stay cold anymore anyway.
These pictures making me anxious . July 10 I will have the nerves in my left knee burned at mayo and hope to be ready to cast that line right after . Presently rehab 3 days a week and a walker with wheels that squeak when. I try to run lol

That’s why God made oil to quiet the squeaks Linda! Give em a shot of slab sauce.
