felons as cops
i heard funkhauser make the quote and although i dont agree with it, the full story is the mayor was brainstorming about the high crime/murder rate in kc,mo and thought that black police would relate better with the black community. hes probably right on the last part. as far as the felons funkhauser was talking about he outlined that as ppl who made a mistake young in life and are now older and more mature. kc, mo is only the highest murder rate city for blacks, at least hes trying to fix it.

You might be a Fishaholic if...
.....you buy your wife and your mother-in-law a weekend spa on your wedding anniversary so you can run to Table Rock Lake with your brother and fish

BR Lure Fun?
this is a great idea. we should have a map with pin-points showing where the baits been and a way to link the pics to the pin points.

What's the strangest thing you've caught on the end of your line?
2 things a casting net, which was a blessing due to the fact it was full of crank baits. i cut out the baits and took the rest to the boat ramp. my father in the back while fishing out of a small boat. we (he mostly) were lucky it was a small hook and the barb went in and out when i was casting. seems to me he tied on the biggest crank bait he had after that.......

Registration Req'd?
better safe than sorry. my old 14' boat was only like $14 a year. one week of packing a lunch instead of eating out is how i see it

How big of boat do i need
if youre planning on having the boat on a trailer youre real wide open on what you can get. you could be looking at a few V-bottoms as well. that all changes if youre planning on taking the boat to the lake in the back of your truck.

Stupid Sonar question
there are no "rules" for doing this other than red goes to (+) and black goes to (-). you have to decide how you want the wires attached. can crimp on a spade that can sit under the wing bolt that makes for easy removal or you do something that will be there forever. try something and if you dont like it change it.

New Member, New Boat, A Few Questions
that is an impressive speed with that boat. i have a 18 1/2 foot nitro with a 175 hp motor that runs 62-64 mpg gps on a perfect day. the first bass boat i had was a 17 1/2 foot nitro w/115 hp motor and it was all it could do to run 50 mph gps. as far as props go, im not an expert but the trained tech ive talked to say the prop you run should have the boats rpm's maxed or just over at WOT. anything other than that is not whats best for the boat. finaly, if you can get the boat, get it and fish a lot.

What's you favorite
when my thumb is in the fishes mouth and i know its mine. a great hook set is nice but when the fish is mine and in the boat thats it for me.

any puter geeks out there?
its the CD-ROM, and what i mean by not reading the blank disk, when i put a blank disk in the drive the CD-ROM doesnt know theres a cd in there. after messing with the thing im wondering if some part of the disk drive has not failed.....or the unit doesnt know its a writable unit.

any puter geeks out there?
last night i got to re-format my computer (not by my own choice) and now that i have everything re-installed and all the up-dates done the disk drive will not read blank disks. this is odd to me since the same drive reads data disks as well and music disks. any ideas?

Stuff You Bought , recommended here, that you didn't like
Zoom horny toads.........nothing. Browning Citori rod.........at the time i thought i was getting a good rod cheap. i even liked the rod for a while when using it but after a while i noticed that the rod always felt too heavy in my hands.

Shaky Head ?
we have been using bite me jig heads and zoom finesse worms. green pumpkin was the hot color all year long. i also was dipping the jig heads in black fingernail polish, not sure if that helps.
