Under the Bobber 2

Here's my cartoons for the week. Enjoy!

Get away from the Big screen and get on a big stream!

Do you want to be the best FISHERMAN?

Do you want to be the best fisher-man or woman? If you do, then you must have the very best gear. Here's my top gear choices to make you the very best. First, you must dress like a fisherman and the very best company for that is Fishionista Outfitters (pronounced fish-ion-knee-sta-us, like in Fashionista),. Their motto is simple, "Don't just wade, wade in suede." Click on this ad and read, you will see what I mean!  

Next, you must have superb flies. Here's a company that will not disappoint. Believe it or not, they grow their own feathers. Read their ad and I think you will agree!  

Lastly, you need a quality boat. This company makes the finest kayaks on the water. I bet they will be the most comfortable kayak you ever sat your butt in. Take a look at this ad.

Okay, you have likely figured out that this is all humor, in fact this is the Baitrageous Cartoons of the week. I am planning on improving the graphics of these and putting them on my web site, LeoLakes.com for folks who want a little fish humor in their life. I hope you enjoyed and remember: Get away from the big screen and get on a big stream!!!!!!!!

Philosophy Under the Bobber

You probably never thought of what happens under the bobber, but now you know.

Fishing on the river of.........OZ ?

Ok, here's my fishing cartoons of the week. I got real creative this week and went fantasy fishing on the river of oz. Actually it turned out better than my last real fishing trip when I had a flat at 5:15am. Anyway,  I have learned a lot about the river of oz as you will see in coming weeks.....he...he...he. Wait till you see the really bad wicked witch jig.   

I just couldn't pass up more about the Mayan Fishing Calender. I do wonder if the Mayan fisherman had a real fishing calender?

The "Oh man, bob" cartoon is from a worm's prospective.

Hope you enjoyed and remember "Life is short, get away from the big screen and get on a big screen."

Fishing Hole

This post is not so much about a fishing hole, than it is about a hole in my tire on the way to the fishing hole. It all happened at 5:17am on a Saturday morning two weeks ago on my way to Old Hickory Lake in Goldilocks (my SUV). The plan was to meet up with Greasy Ham (That's my fishing buddy) and kayak fish. All of a sudden, I heard the RAP RAP RAP noise coming from the right rear tire as I drove on the interstate. At this point, I realized that my plans had suddenly changed. In the back of my mind, I thought "Dang these tires are only 8 months old, how did this happen."

Anyway, here's a picture of the RAP STAR that ruined my fishing trip. 

The weekly cartoon has been finished. Enjoy!

I should have waited until Halloween for this one, but I was too anxious. Eye of newt must be some good bait. 

It's obvious,...... a hook job. One of my favorite cartoons.

Hey, I wonder what the Mayan fishing calender looked like? Probably the best time to go fishing was on sacrifice day! D'hat be my plan!

Bait Relations, & Bait Makeover

Ok, what does Bait Relations, & Bait Makeover have to do with my blog? They're the cartoons for the week. My favorite is bait makeover. Also, the temp has finally dropped back to normal here in Tennessee. 

Hey, get away from the big screen and get on a big stream.

J. Percy Priest Lake Fishing

My fishing buddy "Buttermilk" went fishing last Friday on J. Percy Priest Lake which is near Nashville TN. The temperature was 103 degrees, but that didn't stop the fish from biting. He texted me these pictures of some bass that he caught on a yellow & blue Bomber.

So far here in Nashville, our average high temperature for the past 10 days straight has been 104 and...... we are still fishing. We went fishing on Saturday to a different lake, however this fishing trip turned out to be an adventure for me. I will post this adventure at a later date. Remember: "Get away from the big screen and get on a big stream."

It's TOO HOT TO FISH here in Music City. A record 109 degrees yesterday, so I did a few more Baitrageous cartoons in front of the big screen today. Check out Bob's new secret fish sauce for a little more heat. Enjoy!

One earring short of a full lobe!

A story about women, fishing and earrings, yep earrings. I did this blog over a year ago and even got a reader approved award from the Outdoor Blogger Network. Read on my friend and we will see you at the end.  

IT ALL STARTED the other day when I could swear my wife was wearing a pair of my spoon fishing lures. At that moment I had an epiphany or I think that is what it was, but it could have been that chilli-burger yesterday. I digress and hopefully digest, too. This got me to thinking about how much women’s earrings resemble fishing lures. In fact, I think some of my wife’s earrings could be hanging in Bass Pro, if only they had a treble hook. Ah, you don’t think the earring manufactures have infiltrated the lure industry and are now making lures do you? If this is true, I’m not sure who will be more embarrassed, me who would be fishing with women’s jewelry or her wearing fishing tackle. Wait a minute, I could save lots of money because she would wear it for a while and then I could fish with it, cool, dual purpose and environmentally friendly. 


I think I just invented a new product, Earring Tackle. Think about what a great Birthday gift this would be for your wife. You just drop by Bass Pro, go to the Earring Tackle, pick out that perfect earring lure, have it wrapped, and present it to her on her birthday. I bet she would say" Holy Crappie" and would love it!!!!!! Later as she grows tired of them, you will end up with a new lure and you might be able to say "Hey Babe, I caught a 3 lb. Crappie with your birthday present." How bout dat? 


To make life short, I decided that I had to test this earring tackle concept to determine if fish can actually be caught on jewelry, so snuck in to my wife’s jewelry box to see what I might find. Wow, a jewelry box and a tackle box are nearly the same. Who said men are from mars and women are from Venus. Anyway, I noticed that nice spoon I spoke about earlier that I have been eyeing. I wondered, will she allow me to add a treble hook? You never know until you ask, right? I realized that trying to talk her out of her spoon earrings would be like trying to talk me out of my rooster tail, no way. Surprise, Surprise, she allowed me to take her spoon jewelry and turn it into Earring Tackle. Here's a photo of my future tackle just need a treble hook. Not bad, eh.
I wondered what kind of fish enjoys women’s earrings. My next step is to fish with it. Fast forward a week and here I am, on the river, sitting in my kayak with my fishing pole in hand and earring tackle knotted on my line. The first cast was good, nice weight, easy hitting target, runs about 2 inches below water, and shiny, but very little action. That could be an issue. However, it looks like a fish could confuse it for last months, 13 year cicada with those big orange eyes. Cast 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…..15 and I’m starting to get a little concerned, 34, 35, 36 and bang, I get a bite. I start to reel and notice that the fish seems to be small but a fighter. Could it be a Largemouth, Smallmouth, Rock Bass or Catfish? Here it is my first fish catch on jewelry tackle.


I have answered the question; you can catch fish on your wife’s jewelry. Now I find myself staring at women and thinking, WOW I wonder what I could catch with those earrings. I have found that you don’t stare too long or the women run off. Did you know that there’s a store called Clarie’s where you can buy 10 earrings for 10 bucks, 20 lures for .50 cents each? Dang, this could be big, imagine Claire’s Earring Tackle Fishing Tournament. I can see it now, the winner of the Earring Tackle Fishing Tournament caught the winning fish, a 9 pound largemouth, on a pair of his wife’s danglers.
In closing I would like to say-- Hi, I’m Larry and I like women’s jewelry......... to fish with. Sometimes it’s good to be one earring short of a full lobe. I hope you enjoyed the humor!
