Will keep it fun as always, but thinking of the people, families, communities and states hit by the tornadoes. don barone did a masterpiece on it, and one young man’s story is inspirational and heartbreaking at the same time.

1. World’s greenest bass boat?

No sneakin’ around a lake in that thing! Wonder what the tow vee-hicle looks like.

2. Guy suing over trolling motor.

> According to the complaint, Belleville Sports Sales sold Sweeney a Motorguide trolling motor for his boat and installed it in March 2013. The lawsuit says Sweeney was using the motor on Rend Lake in Benton on May 11, when he attempted to pull the cord on the motor to adjust it, but the motor locked in place due to a design or manufacturing defect. Sweeney says he had to cut the zip ties to pull the motor out of the water, and in the process sustained a cut to an artery on his hand.

> AW Corporation and Brunswick Corporation are involved in the design and manufacture of the product. The defendants are accused of strict product liability, negligent product liability and negligence. Sweeney is seeking more than $50,000 in damages.

It be a:

Tip of the Day

Scott Ashmore: Big Power Worms.

One of my go-to baits too, in black:

> “I always have a 10″ Power Worm tied on during the postspawn because it’s just one of those baits that the bass will eat.” [Shoot, Scotty, they eat it all the time!]

> “The big worm really starts to shine when the water temperature approaches 80…. After spawning, bass begin migrating to main lake points and ledges, and a 10″ Power Worm is the best bait that I’ve found to intercept bass during that transition period.”

> “If you can identify where they spawned, you have a starting point where you can slowly begin working towards the main lake, combing classic postspawn areas like secondary points and subtle ledges.”

> Another key underwater feature that Ashmore likes to target when searching for postspawners is ditches or creek beds running into pockets.

> “Red bug seems to work well on some of the southern fisheries like the St. Johns River, and blue fleck is probably my favorite color on Oklahoma lakes.”

> …a light wire 5/0 or 6/0 wide gap worm hook…for easier hook penetration when setting the hook at long distances, and it also gives the worm a more realistic action….
