I don't have a link, but they are all on youtube. Just type in bassmaster classic. I especially liked the very first classic, I believe it in 1972. It was won by Bobby Murray, Lake Mead Nevada. It is narrated by the old Green Acres character, Eb Dawson. Enjoy..... Hootie

I've lately been watching the old Bassmaster Classics. Like looking at the ancient, (for now) tackle they were using. Hootie

By that time I don't much care. I just wanna get out. After a winter like having, so far....."I WANNA GO FISHING "!!!!!!! Hootie

These are some carvings I did last winter. I posted them last year, but may have since deleted them. Hootie

I've noticed that this year some of the pros have jumped ship and are pushing different rods and reels. Remember with the pros, the best rods are made by the company that writes the biggest check. Hootie

LOL!!! I've been thinking about trying an elephant. Been looking at lots of pictures from different angles. Looks like it could be very complicated, but I wont know if I don't try....lol. Hootie

Not yet, trying to decide what to do next. Hootie

Of course, no reason not to.....lol. Hootie

Kirk Douglas celebrates his 101st. birthday today. Hootie

Fishing season over, time to break out the pocket knife. Hootie

You might wonder why I did this. Having worked at this BPS for a few years, black Friday was never like this. One hour, or hour and a half, then it was pretty much over. I don't do black Friday shopping ever. I have never liked crowds. Now that even excludes BPS. The first and ONLY sporting event I ever attended, was the first Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran fight, June 20, 1980. NEVER ANOTHER ONE! Took me 2 hours to exit the parking lot after the fight. Hate crowds! Hootie

I hear that. Never again. I wasn't even picking up anything on sale. Could have waited. Yesterday , it seemed everyone was buying jeans and flannel shirts . Hootie

With all that leftover thanksgiving dinner? Oh I'm sure I'll find something to do later this afternoon.....lol. Hootie

Just got back from Cincinnati Bass Pro Shops. Since they opened at 6:00 am, I assumed the store would be cleared out by 8:00 am....WRONG!...That place was crazy. Checkout lines were stretched all the way back to the escalator. All I wanted was a spool of line, some bobber stops, and a pack of jig trailers. Not standing in line for that. Then I happened to notice the line in the fishing department had about 5 people in it. Got my stuff and got the heck out of there. I think everyone in Cincinnati is at BPS today. Hootie
