Can you tell I'm regreting not getting the H instead of the MH ;D Don't get me wrong, its a great rod but those big baits don't seem so big anymore... Thanks for the quick reply Raul, Hopefully it helps the OP choose the right rod for him.

It only gets worse, 600 is nothing dude. The only way I can accomplish anything is if I;m locked in my room with no TV or anything. I'm in German class right now and supposed to be doing something. : erhalten Sie zurück zu arbeiten ;D who needs class when you have babel fish

I have a question.... I was re-reading fourbizz's article and he mentioned using the okuma 7'11" MH for the wake jr and baby bass. Also TT did a review of the rod and said it could handle the shellcracker, all of which are above the rods rating. I was wondering where this rod would really top out at. The largest lure I have thrown on this rod is the 7" slammer and baby wake and I was thinking about getting the tru gill and some of the other lures mentioned above but didn't want to max out the rod and have it snap......I'm thinking it would be fine, and that it comes down to casting comfort and distance. Any thoughts? Sorry if I'm highjacking..

I love the end of the movie Dodgeball where Ben Stiller is singing this song. ;D

Great fish, and Congrats.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. My mother just had a stone removed, I had no idea how serious it was.......

Yup. Standing on the rocks in 4-5 foot surf. Today looks to be even worse, supposed to blow 30 mph. Bring it on! Sounds like a great time. I bought a surf rod last year and have only used it once since. :'(

Great fish Matt! Were you fishing from shore?

Thanks for the comments guys, the bite seems to really be picking up. Hey, he knows what he's talking about. If you haven't read his article you need to check it out. http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/swimbait_gear.html

Did some more fishing yesterday. Landed two, lost two. I got two bites early on with the baby wake and two later on with the mission fish.

Nice fish Simon. The bite has been really good this weekend.

thats great

What kind of rod and reel? Not only do you have to think about the gear ratio, but the drag and line capacity. BBZ is a large bait, I wouldn't even throw it on my current setup.

Thanks Matt, I was going to throw them down at fountainhead tomorrow but I guess they're having the classic this weekend. :-/

You forgot the redneck swimming pool...very popular

Had some more luck today. Caught two on the slammer. no real size but I'm gaining some confidence..

ahhh I see. I guess that is a good enough reason. ;D Here's to a happy and healthy baby. We'll have to get up next season once he's all settled in.

How about our survival? The water wars are going to become the largest battle(Even more than oil) over the next 50+ years. Just glance at the current water wars going on out west and the line in the sand that has been drawn between the s. e. states. The Coosa and Tallaposa, and many other rivers in the Alabama and Georgia areas have allready been drawn down. It will be a fight to the finish that noone will win. I agree. I meant to add in my previous post that I have no idea what the environmental impact would be. I couldn't get the words out right so I deleted it altogether. I guess I thought that water was reusable and that it cycled and would eventually return to where it came from. I came across a brief article or tv report that was discussing what was going on in georgia. Applications to move the borders of states? Nasty stuff...

Great fish!

Water could be used for a lot of things. From what I understand, construction sites building from the ground up have water trucks to spray the ground to soften it for digging. In this case it becomes groundwater that sheds back into the rivers and streams.

Thanks for all the comments guys, means a lot. Kevin, I think the bigger question would be why haven't you been fishing?

;D My buddy did the same thing last weekend. He was pretty upset. ;D

WTH are those boob things that grow on the wood underwater. I see those a lot out here. I friggin love that dog. Looks like good times

Great Pics.

x2....wait what were we talking about......
