    And because of punt returns, kickoff returns, ints returned for tds, two fumbles recovered for tds, and blocked punts returned for TDs, he actually scored 71  tds on 33 receptions. 

    Still, not SEC good. 

  2. Went to the Kentucky Derby this weekend, hit the bourbon tour on Friday. Stitzel-Weller distillery, now Bulleitt, sat in Pappy’s old office and enjoyed some 10 year. On to Kentucky Artisan Distillery, home to Jefferson’s, which was a fair experience, and then on to Buffalo Trace for the last tour. We encountered special Derby mid sized bottles of Blantons literally flying off the shelves but limited to one per person and no time to stand in the long checkout lines before our tour, so I hid quite a few of them around the gift shop prior to our tour, and with other members of our group following my lead, we all went thru the line multiple times after our tour to acquire more than one per person......with customers asking where we got them and clerks saying I thought we were already sold out.....

    Onward to Saturday where we were twisting off at the race all day..... before the most exciting 2 minutes in sports a vendor comes by with a tray of mint juleps and my buddy hands him a couple hundred and takes the entire damn tray of juleps (literally, the dude just took his straps and walked off) for our box....it got a little hazy after that. Damn good time.

    Getting our stuff from the ferry to Ixchel continues to be an argument between me an my wife. We’re traveling with a toddler so we’ll have a good amount of shit. 

    We will be arriving around 4pm-5pm. I was thinking there would be guys with carts or wheelbarrows waiting at the ferry to carry our bags and we’d just walk alongside them (she doesn’t want to take a cab because of the lack of car seat). Her thought is to pre-book a golf cart from an outfit close to the ferry and use that.I haven’t called Ixchel to see if they’d come pick us up with a car seat. Any suggestions? 

    Get a pedi cart guy. Get some beer at the store across the street. Walk. The guy’s gonna get ahead of you. Relax! Walk. Drink. Tip him 10 and he’ll be stoked.

    tell the wife to settle down and that you got this.

    also bring a koozie 

  4. I’ve got about a dozen Allstar medium light action Shrimptail Specials or Titaniums and a few Falcon HD lights with Shimano Stradic or Sierra 3000, spooled up with Power Pro Slick 8, I can cast a topwater a quarter mile, just like Uncle Rico spun the pigskin back in high school 

  5. Will be on the first turn, gonna be a hell of a race.

    I like Justify, Mendelssohn, Good Magic and Audible. I feel like Bolt d'Oro's gonna be in there somewhere, great jockey too, but he recently lost to Justified. Longershots: Hof and My Boy Jack.

    I'll have some boxes with the 2 or 3 favorites and one longshot. 

    It's a strong field!

    I have only been using Fins Windtamer braid.  20lb is usually pretty standard for me, although I just bought 30lb for the Chandeleur trip. 

     

    You're gonna need it. Bring plenty of topwaters. Some might not make it home.

    Out there the rule is: if you have two, you have one; if you have one, you have none. Govern yourself accordingly.

    4th- That’s a monster Red !


    Taking the wife fishing trip in POC this weekend for her bday. God bless her. True story- she is getting wading gear for as a present.


    Chandeleur trip is 3 weeks away. Can not fucking wait. I have loaded up with way too much gear.

    There are plenty more just like that one. Go to the spot I mapped out for you and I guarantee you will smoke them on topwater. 

    I am so ready to go again. 

  8. Academy 20% coupon referenced in gun thread + the Sunday 10% off got me 30% off of everything

    And that includes the delivery today of 11 topwaters (Superspooks and Pro Dogs) and a 1500 yard spool of 30/8 power pro that was already on clearance ($49)

    New lower unit........insurance accepted coverage this week.

    I'm ready.
