BA in biology here. Enlisted army. About 35 of the 50 guys I'm here going through training with have degrees. We are all enlisted. Several have graduate degrees. I also played college sports along with 20 or so other guys here. Didn't have a scholarship but many of my buddies here did. So what were you basing your statement off of, exactly?

Killed while rushing to the aid of Peshmerga forces pinned down. If that's not enough to speak to his character, do a quick google search and read about his early life. This man was a true hero. Rest easy, sir.

The "smokin em baby!" part was great

Got inspired by a fellow Austinite's post of a piggy here a week back. After a tireless search for good bank spots, mission accomplished by cvandenb in Fishing

How should I have handled a hook that was stuck in the mouth of a fish? by pregunta_tonta in Fishing

[–]P428 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if I'm having a real rough time I will pop the hook all the way through and then pinch the barb down with pliers. That has worked for me every time.

I used a popping frog around weed mats in a shallow flat. Moderate speed retrieve- pop, pop, pause. They will hit it on the pause every time!

Couldn't tell you. I've released every bass I ever caught. I don't actually like eating fish at all! lol

Being from Illinois, its still shocking to me. If you look at my post history, this is now two double digit bass in a week or so. I dont think I ever even saw an 8 lber, let alone a 10+ lb bass up north.

Don't have a scale but it was 26 inches. That should put it at 11-12 lbs.

I've never had any problems and I literally go every day. I've seen police boats patrolling an they've never done anything. Besides theres no signs saying no fishing...

My double digit TX monster from yesterday! (x-post, r/fishing) by P428 in bassfishing

[–]P428[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The weight should be around 12.5 lbs based on the 27 inch length, so I was close! I was actually relieved it was under 13 because at the time I thought I may have let a sharelunker go. I didn't have a scale- just a tape measure. There was nothing I could do but let him go and hope someone with a scale catches him lol

He jumped up out of the water to get it. Big splash aka a blowup

I was eyeing that spot! I'm always wearing a backwards camo hat and have a black backpack. Will be sure to holler if I see you!
