Thrift's Hookset How-To, A PB for BP

By BassFan Staff

The Community Hole, BassFan's weekly collection of bass fishing's social media, is back for a third installment today.

Much of the attention last week focused on Smith Lake in Alabama, which hosted the second FLW Tour event of the season. The fish were biting all over the lake and there was plenty of material for us to sift through. The following aren't all from Smith, though, including a priceless clip of Bryan Thrift botching a hookset at Clear Lake.

Maybe you've seen them all or maybe you didn't see any of them – either way, the following were some of our favorites from the last week. If you feel like we missed something, feel free to drop us a note on Facebook or tweet us @BassFanNews.

How To Pick Up Chicks
> Wesley Strader said it rained so hard during the first day of practice at Smith Lake that well, we'll let him tell the story ...

Head Slapper
> Now we know how Thrift is able to be so successful on the FLW Tour. Check out his "unorthodox" hookset.

Couldn't help myself...I had to post this video of one of my favorite fisherman setting the hook! 😂 Go follow @bryanthriftfishing he's one of the best! @tacklewarehouse

They're all over the bed over here on #LakeNorman and I'm just sitting here with a camera in my hand. #iwanttofish

Group Shot
> Dave Lefebre snapped a selfie with the crowd at the final weigh-in at Smith Lake shortly before planting himself in the hot seat on Sunday.

Andy & Old Glory
> Here's some Americana for you: Blue sky, Andy Morgan and the American flag.

Jasper, AL - Every now and then, I stumble upon something that shouts "Take a picture, dummy!" Andy Morgan hangs out with the Stars and Stripes. I think this is my favorite shot of the season so far.

Boys Will Be Boys
> Let's hope FLW Tour pro Tom Redington caught some bigger ones during the tournament at Smith Lake.

No world records were harmed filming this @boyscoutsofamerica at the @flwfishing Tour kid fishing event. Lots of smiles without an iPad tho, who knew that was still possible?! #fishing #hookedonscouting
