out of action

[ike]

The past 2 weeks I haven't do anything on the saw, My back has been bothering so yesterday I went out and worked a couple of hours and my back was getting tired so I went into the house picked up a fishing magazine and then My back felt ok so I went fishing Well I will have to take a couple of days off again. The onlly good thing tat happened was I caught a 20 inch Large mouth Bass weighing 4 lbs on 8 dlb line It was a good fight adnd well worth a couple of days off the saw. No pictures I didn't have my phone the baaattery was dead.

Nice catch Ike. A great and exciting way to relax. Good luck with your back. Not a good place to  have problems.

Sorry about your back, but  time off is good

Now about that 20 inch bass and the dead phone, that sounds a little bit fishy

Where were you fishing in south Texas, that my be the one that got away from me, RJ

[ike]

There was a 6 lb bass caught 3 years ago and that was what I was fishing for. I did change to 12 lb. test line today. The 4 lb one gave me a good fight on * lb line.The nice thing about the phone being dead is that your wife can't bother you. you just fish as long as you wish.

Where did you catch that monster? 

[ike]

I caught it in a farm pound outside Pleasant Plain  There is several pounds around tat area that have good fish but as the farms are being sold it gets harder to get into some of the pounds.

The saw will still be there waiting for you when your back is felling better Ike, you take it easy and rest up.

I just took a little vacation from work with grand ideas of spending a majority of my time on my saw... Well the wife wanted to go camping, so that's what we did. I caught 12 largemouth and I would be giving myself credit if I said they all totaled up the weight of your one fish. Good Catch!

Envy you guys.  I'm one of those fishermen that buys a license every year but never goes  Been so long since I have gone, I no longer know of the hundreds of rules nor were to go.  Way back when I did fish the yearly fishing and hunting pamphlet was around 3 pages with all the hunting and fishing laws.  Now there is a book size pamphlet for hunt and one for fishing.  Also a additional card/fee for each species you want to catch.

You guys make me feel guilty. I keep an 18 foot (2004) Trophy walk around (designed for fishing) in a slip all summer great fishing all around me, yet I haven't fished for over 20 years. 

Like some of you I will also be sidelined by surgery May 11. We are all falling apart
