Had fun catching a few white bass yesterday. I think this fella really liked me.

How would you compare the new Mojo Bass Trigon casting rods with a Dobyns Champion?
How good is the new Mojo compared to the old model? A once affordable price point of $130-150 is now pushing $200 and wondering if it isn’t worth simply upgrading?

This is everything I keep in my small bank fishing bag + everything to rig up some Texas rigs and soft plastics. Anything else I should add?

With today’s braided super lines, should bass reels even come with drag systems?
A lot of bass fishermen now used braided line in the 30-50 pound range. On top of that, a lot use MH rods. Even the strongest bass are no match for this combination. Drag systems have come a long way in past 20 or 30 years, but most bass gear now outclasses the very fish it’s made for. It surprises me they haven’t started developing dragless reels as an option. They would be less complicated and require less maintenance. Just a thought.

Has some of the excitement this hobby gave you early on faded a bit?
The first 3 years I was so addicted, I floated every chance I got, explored new rivers and creeks and spent every last second of my free time fishing.
Now I still love it but it’s just not quite as exciting, and I’m finding myself less motivated than in the past. Some days I don’t even feel like messing with the hassle of loading/unloading and eating up an entire day floating.
Another part of it aside from the work involved is the increase in pressure has not only worsened the fishing it has created this stress element that often makes it not worth it.

Always wanted to do this 😂
Just bought a house and have a sun room wife said I can use as a man cave. And this is my first addition lol. Threw some things on this rack out of a storage bin, and I’m loving it! Always wanted to post some of my lures and stuff up here, and finally have a “good” reason too. What’s the next addition boys? TIGHT LINES!

Accidentally caught a tiny largemouth while fishing for bluegill
First fish I caught since I starting fishing consistently. Was originally going for bluegill but more than happy with this. Caught it on a trout magnet on a $35 Shakespeare trout rod at Mile Square park in California right before sunset.

Fishing tournament polygraph???
I saw there is a strike king online fishing tournament that looks like fun. For the month of May. I read the rules though and it says participants may need to take a polygraph test or be disqualified. Does that sound right for an online tournament? I wouldn’t mind trying to win something but not interested in a polygraph test for a prize worth a few hundred bucks haha.
