22 x 15 smallie.  Weighed 7.5 lbs on my digital scale that was later confirmed with an 8lb weight back on shore.  My bro said he hadn't seen me come that unglued on a fish in over 20 years!  I wei

I think craigums' might be an older model, I've got the same one you've got sunneye, sheered my prop off on a rogue tree branch that was about a half an inch thick, the blades had been kind of cracked for a while though. The next day I took my mom to Gander, showed her the trolling motor I wanted, and showed her the price of a replacement prop, I convinced her somehow that it would be more wise to just get the new motor as an early birthday present. more pounds thrust, more durable motor for what I do overall, and still a minn kota. So she bought it.

I got a little off topic so I'll try and get this going in the right direction again.

My friend's little brother caught this nice smallie in my boat a couple of days ago, the fish was 18" but it looks a little bigger next to the little guy.

I nailed this big ol' bass last night on a plastic frog. The only fish I caught. I thought I was going to get skunked, being windy and post frontal, but I guess I was wrong! It measured 20.25" and weighed a hefty 5lbs 11oz.

My soon to be 3yr old wanted to reel in my spinnerbait. Since I took him out to a small area on a local river to let him reel fish in after I'd hook one i figure why not. I tossed it out there and gave the rod to him. He startedto reel up and I couldn't even tell if the blades were spinning. All of a sudden this fish come out of the water, didnt think it was hooked until the line zipped to the left. He reeled up as much as coulnd then I just lifted the rod tip. When it came out of the water onto land Carson dropped the pole and ran. Guys, it doesn't get any better then that. Did not weight it but stretched the tape at 20.25IMG_1490-1.jpg

Here is a Bass that was apparently pretty hungry. Had big bullhead lodged in throat but was still willing to chomp on a jig. Caught her near some deep rocks. Bass was a bit over 19 and I'm guessing by looking at the bullhead's tail it was about 9 - 11 inches long. Funny how when they get into those moods they just gorge themselves.

Calvin, what were you using when you caught that nice bass?!?!

I caught it on the Seizmic Toad plastic frog with 4/0 frog hook, although I favor the Ribbit High Floater plastic frog. It has a larger profile and churns up the water a bit more. I have been killing the big bass on frogs this year. 21", 20.25", and 19" all caught on frogs.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
