Tomorrow I go to have a bone marrow draw and stem cell injection into my spine, so today I went out for about four hours to feed the addiction . Caught 7 lost 2, biggest was 19 1/2 inches and the fish were pulling harder than normal, I mean they were fighting hard. The biggest jumped 4 times and fought like a bulldog. Had one that was about 16" that fought like four pounder, think someone dumped some steroids in the lake the way the fish were fighting. Guess the cooler water 46* has got them really cranked up.
Caught all on a tight line rig 5/32 jig head and a Roboworm Alive Shad in Prism Shad color 4 pound test line.

I’ve heard of that procedure in trials in Texas. Is health insurance paying for it? What diagnosis are you expecting to cure. I’m hoping it works for you. I hope my back can hold up long enough for the process to be common.

Oh yeah. Great fish!!!

I did that a few years ago, cataracts had to come out but I almost wish I hadn't done the lens replacement. I ended up with bad dry eye that still bothers me but I do see some better. Driving after dark is the worst part, glair is bad. Hope yours turns out great.

We are all thinking about you Ivey. Just keep the Fleetwood Mac going in your mind during the bad part. Nice fish. I’m glad you got out and hooked some.

It's been around for some time now, I had the first probably 10 years ago and it's carried me until now. Hope this will carry me another 10 years. I have a degenerative disk disease and a spinal injury and it helps with the pain and allows me to live a normal life. Before the first it was just pain 24-7 hard to do much of anything strenuous.
It's very expensive and Insurance does not cover this procedure and for the life of me I can't understand why. Before the first I was in and out of Dr's offices and surgeries it had to cost the insurance 10 times more than paying for this procedure. I hope you don't have any serious back problems cause if you do, brother I feel your pain.
