Just Google culprit C720-49. You should find a bunch.

There is no optimum water temp. Bass are most active between 53 and 80 degrees.

The first fish I ever caught was a Redeye. I was fishing with my dad in the Virginia Mountains.

They don't get hung up. Even in Christmas trees. I have Timber Tigers and Brush Baby's and they are fish catching machines.

Hall of Fame NFL football coach and NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs. He caught it two PB's that day on one of my homemade jigs with a Rage Tail Chunk as the trailer.

You lucky dog. From what I read it's got some pretty cool stuff. I can't wait till it goes live.

It works for people with a Google account. When Google+ goes live everything you clicked on will transfer into that. Google accounts are free. I've had mine for years and it's been great to have.

That's awesome. Congrats on your first win.

One thing that Glenn forgot to mention is that by clicking on that little button it helps BassResource. It doesn't make us money but it helps more people find us. So if you like something you are reading just click on the +1 button to help us out. It's just a little something you can do to give back to BassResource.

I don't trim mine at all. I just fan them out a little.

It's going to be something simple like the barrel isn't floating properly, or the muzzle isn't crowned properly. Take it to a gunsmith when you can. The money spent there will be well worth it.

Great question. This really got me thinking. Location and Depth - Time of year mostly dictates where they are "supposed" to be. Minor adjustment can be made due to weather, wind, current, water temp, bottom structure, bait and so on. Presentation - What is the best way to fish the location that I'm at right now? What mood are the fish in? Do they want to chase or do they want an easy, slow moving meal? Lure choice - This goes hand-in-hand with presentation. Size depends on what the bass are eating and/or how I want the lure to fall. (fast/slow) Action depends on the mood of the fish. Color choice depends on water color and clarity. Sometimes the color of the bottom or the color of the submerged weeds dictate what color I'm going to try first. My #1 rule is that if I don't have or loose confidence in a spot I move. If I loose confidence in the lure I have on the end of my line I try something else. If I loose confidence all together I go home.

If you are wondering what the fish are biting just go out on Monday and take a walk around a parking lot where the tournaments went out of that weekend.

#1 is a Rage Chunk it is the only trailer I use on my jigs. #2 is a Rage Craw. I use every size. (I can't believe I'm going to give this little secret.) I found a way to rig them that is even better than using a keel weighted hook. I found a little jighead called a Goby Sled by Buckeye Lures. It's is a killer when the bass are on the bottom. #3 is the Thumper worm. It is a great Carolina Rig worm and has been working great in this hot weather.

This is exactly how I choose a hook. I use the smallest hook possible so long is the worm isn't to thick for the gap. My Personal Best bass (9.98) came off of a 7 inch trickworm with a 1/0, thin wire, regular offset hook.

Mine would be this Jig paired with a green pumpkin rage chunk dipped in clear JJ's Magic and finished off with a little chartruse JJ's on the tips.

My record is 224 largemouth that were 2lbs or better. But I think I have a slight advantage because of the lake I fish.

To get back on track. I love 300mags, or any of the Magnum calibers for that matter. The reason is I can usually get them for pretty cheap. Guys buy them thinking they can handle the kick and then quickly find out that it's to much gun for them. (Years ago my dad picked up a Browning A-Bolt 300win mag for 400 bucks. The wood stock didn't even have a scuff mark on it.) Then we take it home and reload some soft rounds for it and make it a perfect hunting rifle. With all the different 30cal bullets available, the possible combinations of reloads are almost endless. I've shot Caribou at 500yards, and two weeks later taken a whitetail at 20yards just by changing the load and shooting a few times at the range.

The .308 is by far the most popular sniping round, and for good reason. The .308 is not punishing to shoot, has excellent terminal ballistics, behaves predictably in the wind, and perhaps most important is that it is consistent. While there are many cartridge choices that outperform the .308 in ballistics, there are few that perform as consistently as the .308 and as we know consistency is accuracy. The .30 cal bullet has long been a good performer and is very popular, which leads to more research with the .30 cal than perhaps with other calibers. While the .308 may over penetrate in some cases at shorter ranges (especially with FMJ styles bullets such as the old M118) the .308 is still used in by a majority of Law Enforcement agencies. It is accepted that if you do your job and put the bullet where it counts, you can count on the .308 to do its job and incapacitate the target. The US Army preaches an 800 meter maximum effective range for the .308, the USMC preaches a 1000 yard (915 meter) max effective range. While we have made hits at 1000+ meters with the .308, we tend to agree with the Army and indicate that 800 meters is about the max limit for RELIABLE hits in all but extreme weather conditions. After that the .308 is dropping like a rock and can become inconsistent. As an all around work horse for sniping that works great for both Law Enforcement and military sniping, the .308 is hard to beat. The only way a .308 will preform the way you describe is if you load a small 95gr projectile with the maximum powder. The bullet will start to tumble almost as soon as it leaves the barrel resulting in the obvious drop in performance. If you are having trouble holding a good group with any gun you need to find the weight bullet that the gun is most happy with. If you reload you can even go as far as finding the exact load of powder and bullet combination. Most .308s love a 125gr bullet. As the bullet gets heavier you will notice an increase in the inconsistency of the groups. There is always an exception to this but it's few and far between.

If you've never eaten carp you are missing out. It's a great tasting fish. You just need to know how to prepare it.

Here in Georgia we have several different peak dates depending on what part of the country the deer were transplanted from back in the 50's. Here in Augusta, Ga it peaks out around the 15th of Oct because of our close proximity to you in South Carolina. I have a hunting club 1 hour towards Atlanta that peaks out during the first week in November. My dad's property is 2 hours away and it peaks around the 15th of November.

I said .308 because it's my favorite 30cal round. But really any 30cal round is great for deer and most other big game.

I got a chance to shoot a 28ga for the first time a few months ago. Granted it was a Holland & Holland side by side but despite the gun I was very impressed with the round. It was a pleasure to shoot and patterned very well. It's a great load for kids.

I use a Chatillon 6lb scale and a 15lb scale. The 6lb one measures to the ounce and the 15lb one measures by 2oz. They are certifiable. And you can find them cheeper than some of popular digital fishing scales.

No I don't have one but I do get to shoot one from time to time and it is my favorite. My wife won't let me sell my house, my boat, and all our cars so I can get one. Sometimes I just don't understand women.
