I did some serious digging roun in the man cave ....
lookin for an old rifle I cant seem to locate ....
I saw what looked to be a piece of black pvc ...
I picked it up and THIS is what it was !
a by golly genuine VERY LONG rod
its a full 3 and a half feet longer than the ss minnow .....
I got no idea where it came from ?
I asked a few folks if it was something they left behind
no one claimed it ....I spose its mine now ....
so now it seems the transition is complete ...
I got crappie rods for any occasion ....
from 4 feet to 16.5 feet ....
I should be all set
and as always ...
KABOOM

I tried to find the rightful owner ...I even quizzed the other half
told her I know I didn't get it intentionally ....
she saw it and just shook her head ....
then she said ....the buck heart fajitas are ready ....
you hungry .....?

and of course I said .....um ....YES I am hungry .....
nevermind the LONG rod ......

Hmmm, that is the EXACT rod I need to use when fishing with Tbox, so I can reach the brush pile from my seat!!

Take a picture of the butt end of that rod...is that a built in reel?

it aint sir ....just that big ole hunk a rubber stuffed in it ....
its got that 2 prong thingee on the fat end above the grip with some heavy mono on it
and one teeeensy eyelet on that teeeensy lil rod tip .....LOL
btw ....thunk about a follow up visit to a place later
holler at me .....
aint got the ketchn kitchen pass just yet ....
but I am workin her ...
gave her sum cash an told her to go shoppin....
also takin her out to lunch later ....
it aint in the bag just yet .....
but it is in the works .....

btw I was wonderin sir crapicat ......
Tbox mentioned a lil gaspergoooo thing .....
I don't think this rod was designed for that ....
hehehehe

HEY that might be the one I loaned you to catch that six POUNDER at fork on .Oh I forgot you missed that bite.Tbox and crapicat said the were going to get her now that you missed her I gave than the area now sorry buddy they said u say kaboom buddy.

I've found that diamonds soothe the savage .

And might result in a ketchn pass.

Yea, I just got to tell that story...got to get caught up some first though...hey, we even found Stubby hanging around the Boat Ramp over on Fork, whining about following doctors orders....I think I know why...

I'll call you when I get out of the field from moving hay around...still gonna have to go looking for a 15ft'er so I can actually get the opportunity to hang up in the brush...

No really Tbox is not THAT bad...he did get to feeling sorry for me and let me hang the brush ONCE..

I am thinking that 16.5 footer is gunna get hung up somewhere in new mexico if I use it here in texas
KABOOM

Tbox was tellin me ole crapicat did in fact ketch that 6 pounder !!!!
but from what I hear it wasn't the right species ....
