Everything school.

Vols gonna prove haters wrong and win it all in March, Vols basketball gonna repeat, then football gonna win it all with just a single loss @ Florida

Yup, never fails.

Always wanted a pic of big, bronze Red with purple tail. Landed one on crab imitation, back in 19. Guide said was second biggest he'd had landed on his boat, on fly.

Guide grabbed him, got him with the jaw clamp. Measured, handed to me for photo. 39.5 inches. I'd estimate 22-25 lbs in that range, maybe bigger.

I grab him by the tail. Lift up for the camera, one shake of his massive head. Gone.

No photo. Just video, I think this is same fish.

Video taken by Capt Rob at Green Heron Adventures. Great guide, out of Beaufort. Correction, video was taken in Oct 2021.View attachment 723951

Charted another flood tide outing two late Spring's ago. Reds were scattered. Using floatilla as cover. Picking something off top of water. Difference is, tails up, snouts down. Crabbing gets them excited. Sipping gives their eyes more to work.

Had a double eye infection that week. That 'cleared up' in time for late week fishing. Over the counter polarized fitovers. I nailed em when I could see em.

Getting that hookset on topwater is much tougher than it looks. Hooked 4 fish, one larger than the one in that video. Worst day fishing is better than best day not.

Catching reds and specks are good fishing!

My guy in Titusville is David Roberson. Not sure if he's still able to guide. Grizzled, as the Marlboro man. A savant.

'You keepin' any fish.'

'Weellll, we dont want..:'

'Great, ill clean it.'

I call that a redneck slam. Red, speck, and flounder (in far right). Whatever its called, ir was fish tacos.

Mosquito Lagoon gets hit, hard. And often. Its a shame, used to be a great place.

You want a gator trout, that's your place.

Hook us up with your catch, Sarge.

Btw, always hesitate to show pics. Because I know @TheBigOne10 is lurking.

You want smallie pix, ugh. Its sick.

A&M and LSU have both taken losses this weekend. Diamond Vols impressed with the sweep over a solid Samford squad.

We’ll see how the new polls look soon.

 

[gordonr24]

College basketball officiating is atrocious at all levels.

 

[MarcoVol]

Caleb Love also didn’t get fouled on that drive

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Who was UT's starting QB your senior year in HS?

Um, Holloway, I think. That -- '72/73 -- was a long time ago.

 

[peaygolf]

If this is true........It's one of the coolest "stats" I've ever seen.............

It is. But based on the way the game is called, I’m not even sure the first one is a foul. So, it was basically a net even for Arizona.

One thing that I don’t understand is why they let these guys continue doing back to backs. Shows and Chuck Jones did the Memphis game today at 1:00. Shows was in Nashville yesterday (much easier than some I’ve seen), but his game yesterday didn’t end until probably 5:00. Jones did our game in College Station. I’ve seen quicker turn arounds than that. I’m sure they will be doing Tuesday games. Toward the end of the season at age 45, I would be tired.

ESPN+ the add on for suckers

Im a sucker btw.

Same

why he isnt in Cooperstown ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is beyond me.

Saying his numbers were below other FB is another way of saying he wasnt on steroids.

There's nothing like catching reds. That's my addiction when it comes to fishing. I only get two weeks out of the year to go after them and I make the most of it. I only fish artificials and it's fun to find new lures that I know nobody else is using in that area...I halfway think my good fortune comes from presenting lures they never see. Topwater reds are a ton of fun too. Here's a beautiful red I landed the last time out.
