Took the Ranger Fishing again yesterday. went to Galax, Virginia up on the New River to fish. I knew as soon as i got there it was gonna be tough. The water was DINGY! evidentally a hard rain had it muddied up, when its like that, the fish are very hard to catch. also, the water was up which makes the current harder, and on top of that, the wind was blowing. However, it was a beautiful day and was jsut be glad to be out in the on the water. You know what they say, . Anyways i caught one smallmouth on a red crawdad cranknait. he hit it hard! had to take some pics of the Ranger! Also, got a few pics of the river and such, i just love the place!

PS...the Danger Ranger hit 50,000 on the clock yesterday, forgot to take picture



The Alcoas look so sexy on the truck! they just look better and better to me everyday!

 

nice smally. hey, even though its small, it fights like its 3 times the size. i love smallmouth, best fight you can get.

 

i know it! he hit hard! thats my favorite fish to catch

 

Looks great man!

 

aint nothin like fishin when its cold out, cept huntin

 

i gotta mod something, i really need tint, might ask for it for xmas!

 

That is a beautiful pond, I would love to fish it! Anyways I haven't done much fishing this year, I am really starting to miss it. All these nice ponds here in NC.

 

Its actually a river lol. I need to get back out there, I've only gone like twice in the last few months lol

 

yeah its a LONG river, not sure where it starts, i think its stretches across a few states! it only has one dam on it too; claytor lake

 

Yeah I know it goes through NC and VA. I've been down one 10 mile stretch of it in a canoe, its really nice. I need to head back up there next spring when it gets warmer

 

Looks like a great trip, and the smally is nice too!

We need to coordinate a meet and fish meet sometime!

 

sounds like a plan! i got a boat, lets do it

 

That would be a blast. Lets do it when its warmer though, the kayaks kind of suck to fish out of when its cold lol

 

ill tell ya'll waht, the smallies hit crankbaits like crazy in December on the Rnew River! and ALL big ones. last december, i caught 7 one day 2 1/2 pounds and bigger, on top of the 8 that fiance's daddy caught that were all 2 1/2 lbs and bigger. it might be cold, but well worth it!

 

Looks good, you hit 50K time to sell it lol... I just hit 51k and forgot to take a picture...

 

Good looking truck and purty pictures.

 

Damn man. Looks like a great time! I could, and SHOULD have been there. But there is always next time.

 

Well I had camera eady the whole time on my way there, then when I got there I was at 49,997. I was like damn....

Well I was in deep thought on my way back I forgot to snap a pic. I'm kinda bummed though, I've put way too many miles on it in a year and 1 month---23,000 miles.

Yeah David, u better get ur *** up here next time...j/k...lol

 

Wow. Well I can't really talk, I've put almost 10,000 on mine in 5 months

 

Yeah really. I have only put 30,000 on mine in the 3.5 years Ive had it. Granted I got my truck when I was 14 though. lol

 

I love fishing! I'm only 5.5 hours away thats possible for a meet. Maybe Summertime.

 

so when is the jon boat getting the paint job?? haha glad you caught something!!!! haha... it was raining and heavy snow today so i hid in the shop had a beer and worked on the mower.

 

yeah clayton, get ur *** down here too! i have family up in cleveland man.

im starting on the paint within the next few weeks. gonna do the rustoleum special. im going do it right by prepping boat good, priming it, wetsanding it, then painting it with rustoleum's camo green

 

That will look sweet, make sure to post pics :). Id love to fish that river looks really nice.

 

Mmmm, Rangers and river smallys. Sounds like we got us a meet to plan!
