Strictly business highlight reel
« on: Apr 08, 2019, 10:31 AM »
I don’t think this comes off as a highlight reel however..the season lasted 19 weekends and I never missed one..we caught a ton of bass but the big ones eluded us for the most part..lunker smallie went 4 lbs 1 oz and lunker largemouth went 5 lbs 6 ozs..of course we had a ton of fun and spent a few mornings in the darkness due to the fact these young whipper snappers thought they could snag our spot every weekend..thanks to green shack for keeping me posted on ice conditions..see you folks on the flip side and who can ever forget that Winni derby wind.. also should mention we have another new member Rocky but unfortunately he’s not mine

































when chuck norris played golf for money, chuck marked down a hole in zero every time, the golf pro said, "chuck: you can't score zero on a hole." Chuck norris turned towards the man and said, "I'm chuck norris, the man proceeded to pour gas over his body and set himself on fire because that would be less painful than getting roundhouse kicked by chuck norris....chuck norris roundhouse kicked him in the face anyways

Nice pics and bass Jibbs. Those "young whipper snappers" can be annoying glad I wasn't like that when I was young.  ::)

Nice, sure was a great season. .that derby wind was epic, but those of us that fought through it were better men and women for it..
Nice pics.. Looks like you are ready to turn the page.

they came down the first weekend and were disappointed to see us in their so called spot...they claimed they fished there every weekend for the last 5 years which would be impossible because we have been sitting in the spot for 15 years ....anyways those fellas got up early and beat us to the area even though we head down around 5 am...took a quad ride over and told those punks its now game on...we have one member who was sleeping in the lot overnight in his truck and when someone pulled into the parking area he had his side by side all loaded up and ready to go...they gave up after a few weekends on beating us there...it was kind of cool though to have a fire early morning and few pops of the doctor to wake up however...one of the best social seasons ever...

Great Story Jibbs! Old(er) vs. Young. They still have a lot to learn. :) I would do the same myself if someone was trying to get to a spot i usually fish. I have no problem getting up at 2 am and heading out just to secure. Glad Im not the only one. Get my lines in but not baited till an hour before sunrise etc...
Thanks for posting and putting up the pics. The puppy dog is beautiful.

I look forward to seeing the highlight reels.

Have a great summer! and be safe.

great post, way to stand your ground. I know a guy who risked losing his pop up hub to high winds for the derby just to stake our claim on a cove. Camping out in the lot that's dedication. Great pics.  :tipup:

Did you draw straws to see who slept over? Doctor McGillicuddy? Intense Cherry is my pick of the litter.

Good stuff man, great pics. Was a long season for sure. Nothing wrong with sleeping at the ramp, gotta do what ya gotta do lol... I've slept in my truck at the Umbagog ramp a few times in the summer, though never to stake a claim lol, just cause its easier to drive up after work on a Friday and sleep in the truck than it is to get up at 2 in the morning for the 4 hour ride, also way safer.. I've had some real white knuckle moments along the Andro on 16, I think the moose know your half asleep at 4:00 am and walk in the road just to test us.
Good looking pup too. Good luck with this years tournie season...

Nice work Jibbs! Some nice hogs there.
Its always great to see you out and about over at the spot a couple times a season. I didn't get around quite as much this season, but you guys killed it!
Here's to a great open water season for you! Best of luck.

Thanks for the kind replies ..man it’s a lot of work to fish for fun but so worth it..I found two good bass lakes in the lakes region but I know sooner than later I need to figure out trout fishing on the big lake..I just get off on those 36 traps spreads and the constant action..enjoy the summer folks and as you know it will be winter before we know it
