Long live Bruce. Well, only because he got away.

I remember when you had 12k subs. But now you got 25k, well done and we'll deserved Spencer. I know I had a conversation with you a long time ago about how I thought you deserved more followers and you said you didn't care how many subs you had, cause you were having fun. And I dig that. But you deserve every sub you have. Great job brother.

Spencer need your opinion man. when Im shore hoping I use a rigged cooler like you for my bait fish. So i bought a bigger boat( a toon) before buying a bait tank, I got a 56q old Coleman. Think it would be just as good live well for 10-12 gills if did like the small one, only with 2x aerators. We usually go mid day through the night. so maybe 12-13 hours max with them in the tank.

@RiverCertified
