Got another stupid question

Is a circle hook and a kahle hook the same thing?

I think they are different. Some call kahle ,circle hooks. I use kahles. Most of the time get hooked in corner of mouth or where u can reach them easy. We don't keep catfish most of the time, so like to be able to release easy.

Kahles have a similar bend but a longer shank. They work also.

Well, I learned something again here. Hoping the wind isn’t too bad. I’ll find some protected coves if so but might be a bit rough getting back from there.

You got a 20ft Xpress correct? If so you shouldn't have a problem bud. I run a 20ft Xpress center console and it will handle it. I crossed Conroe in 3 fters in mine. Just take it slow and easy. It's not ideal conditions for sure but Conroe stays choppy pretty much all the time.

Somewhere, a bass fisherman just lost their ****

They gone hate me lol

I'd rather see a liver guy catching 3 to my one than have liver in my boat

Duh chicken livers are my consumption. Fried of course

Yessir, 20ft Xpress. It’ll be fine for sure, just know Conroe gets choppy on a calm day. Thanks guys.

That xpress gonna be wet. Especially in a cross wind. But it's doable. I don't miss mine at all

I have never noticed getting wet when the fish are biting good.

There was a day I speared a 5 footer on Conroe and absolutely filled the boat with 20 inches of water. You can’t help but notice that.

I don't know what hull you had but mine does extremely well in choppy water. I have had mine for 7 years now and absolutely love it.

I had a buddy that said “trim it down and plow” waves. He sunk his boat on Livingston doing just that.

I had the hyper lift bay hull
same design as they have now with a 90 on it. Drug it all over the coast and texas.

I'm not in a huge hurry to get around so I'll take it slow. Might not venture too far, see how it goes. That looks a lot like mine Quackerbox. I was actually shopping new boats a few weeks ago but mines paid for and does what I need. Work is up in the air right now and will be all year for me until they decide who's getting laid off. That coupled with the sticker shock and my ol Xpress will be fighting a couple more summers for me.
