Gotta have a fresh cut spidra web removal tool. I like it tight. Waters tend to rise and fall...it's amazing. I ate all them fish raw off camera. Swamp gas downstream ignited, I guess. You and my wife need to compare notes on tinctures. Thanks dude. Lotsa things better than coffee, but not much better.

@17:21 that's Roark Bluff I believe. Been up there a few of times. Good bluff action. All bushwhack. Take your manly flyrod next time and throw some streamers at them, but that was a nice "7 pounder" you reeled in. Man, you really can find the porkies out there! I've only ever seen a 3-4 total in the BNR. Maybe I will this weekend. Ditto on the MO parking...lol.

[@NoTrail]

I believe Roark bluff is directly across from Steel Creek Campground. No such thing as bushwack...just walking in the woods. No fly rod for me man. You should know that a spinning reel is king with a name like SpinningNoza. Smallmouf bass are quite dense and have a high molecular weight compared to other feesh. I have encountered many a porky and wrestled a few...all were defeated and ran away like little girls. You're doing an overnight up there this weekend, right? Have some fun. Watch out for random explosions.

[@travelingwithspinoza]

@@NoTrail I guess that bluff was farther up stream than I thought. I own 2 spin reels myself. Explosions? Like thunderstorms? Yikes.

[@NoTrail]

​@@travelingwithspinoza Yikes to thunderstorms? I love thunder and lightning. Guess you missed it at 27:20.

[@travelingwithspinoza]

​@@NoTrail oh, lol. Got it.

What is a lunker?

Your head has one inside.
