Catfish started to bite in my lake and ended up getting my PB the other day. It’s been a sweet couple trips this week and just wanted to share. I use a 5ft6 Ugly Stik Lite Pro paired with a 2000 Abu Garcia Max Sx spooked with 8lb pline fluroclear🎣
As the title states, I’m just curious if anyone was misdiagnosed/diagnosed with GP/CVS and then later developed an eating disorder because of the constant puking and flares so you developed a fear of food and puking? I have an immense fear of food and puking after the last 3 years of my GP journey now because I never know what’s gonna trigger me or throw me into a flare and I also don’t know if anxiety will trigger a vomiting episode either. Which in turn leaves me eating maybe a meal a day (cup of minute jasmine rice & and a Campbells soup cup) if that. I currently am dealing with becoming malnourished again and my doctor doesn’t care because “I don’t have GP” after being diagnosed with it through a previous specialist. This doctor instead of re doing the test to rule out it was a misdiagnosis has now written in his notes several times that my stories and experiences are convoluted. I’m tired of surviving day by day So I’m just wondering if it’s not GP than the only other option is CVS with ARFID due to the fear of food. I don’t make myself sick I just literally know within 45-60minutes if my food is going to digest or if I’m in for a puke fest for the next week or a flare that will last atleast 4-6 weeks. So anyone else experience this?
I hooked into this branch at the bottom of my lake thinking it was a heavy fish, when I reeled in to my surprise it had a HUGE what I am thinking is an egg sack of some kind maybe? Anyone know what it is??? Whatever this is, it was HEAVY and kinda of jellylike/ gelatinous. Anyone ever come across this? I’m located in East Tennessee and I’ve never seen this, it Was about the size of a cantaloupe 🤷♂️👍🏼
I’ve had a great experience the last couple weeks with fishing. My go to ultra light rod has been getting hit a ton right now it is an Ugly Stick lite pro paired with a 2000 Abu Garcia Max Sx. The Reel is spooled with 8lb Trilene XL smooth casting. I will most likely be respooling with 8lb Pline Fluro clear as my spool is coming to an end here shortly as I spooled this last year. I use 8lb line because sometimes I manage to catch catfish on this rod and that LB test saves me a ton of breakage, Tight lines folks🎣✨🤙🏼 I do have other ultra light gear, My other ultra lights are as follows a Shimano Sienna 500 combo, Pfluger Trion combo, Pfluger Monarch combo, & an Ozark Trail 2.0 combo☺️
Today I Saw a butt load of carp at my lake when adventuring new coves and points from the bank I haven’t fished. But they are a species I have yet to catch ever both common and grass. So tonight I decided to learn a hair rig, I still have to get some supplies, corn, and bollies. I’m in unfamiliar territory. However I’m finally putting my Ugly stick Carbon & my Diawa Crossfire 3000 to work. I again haven’t used these yet so fingers crossed this combo works out for me🤙🏼🤷♂️ Tight lines folks ✨
