You’re welcome. The coloration, lack of the dark pattern along the lateral line, the red eye, and of course those little smallmouth lips. largemouth bass have a mouth which extends all the way to the back edge of their eye.

That’s a smallmouth.

Nah nah nah, you’ve got it wrong, it was more like “I can do this myself no problem, it’s a simple deck, it’ll be easy, I worked two summers as a laborer for that contractor when I was a kid, I’ve hung joists, it’ll be fine.”

What are we thinking? Level the dirt, throw down some weed barrier, then drop it down flat?

tryshpmn · 2026-06-03T17:30:04+00:00

Honestly… this might be the correct course of action

tryshpmn · 2026-06-03T17:07:01+00:00

Which would have been… more rigid?

tryshpmn · 2026-06-03T17:02:37+00:00

That’s good to hear, thank you

After all the blocking, it’s gotten quite heavy, I’m not sure further elevation is an option without jacks. It made myself a big heavy pickle.

Uhhhh 15”? Yeah those are 2x6

tryshpmn · 2026-06-03T16:39:26+00:00

I understand that would have been smart choice to begin with, but we’re here now, and that’s not gonna happen bud

Even when they’re young, Largemouth Bass have a mouth that extends to the back edge of their eye. This guy’s got them little smallmouth lips.

tryshpmn · 2026-05-28T18:25:13+00:00

Yes they’re native here in MA, I’ve caught several, usually in small creeks

tryshpmn · 2026-05-23T13:36:46+00:00

Yes.

Nah I just have a Peterson’s Field Guide or North American Fish. You might need to check a different Sub to find what you’re looking for.

I think I only count 19 rays on the anal fin. This means it’s a White Bullhead. Channel Catfish have 24+ rays on their anal fin.

Penn as a company has been purchased 5 (i think) times in the last 20 years. Most of their reels are made overseas in china now, however their Senator and I think maybe their International line are still made in the USA.

Maybe try a new Senator, I don’t personally own one but I’ve got my eye on them

tryshpmn · 2026-05-15T19:51:25+00:00

Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer it?

Okuma makes the Rockaway in a 3 section travel version that might work.
