Uh oh, the baitmonkey has got ya! What sizes do those GYCB Flippin Hogs come in? Never seen or heard of them before :-? But I like them

For the most part the largie is a tough fish. I have caught them in tourneys at 7:30am and accidentley gut hooked them, they can bleed, and when I go to weigh them in at 3pm, usually the hook fallen out and it is in the livewell or they are alive and stick kickin like nothing ever happened. Now smallies, thats a whole different thing, if I ever gut hook a smallie, they are usually up-side down in the well within 2 hours :'(. If they are dead at the end of the day, sure bring them home. If they can swim, put them back because you never know.

Sweet lookin spider jigs. 3 for $5 isnt bad either. Might have to pick some up, banana breath won again.

Just remember history repeats itself and if this happens to be the NFC title game, chances are the looser of this game will win in the title game. Hopefully Green Bay looses, I want to see Farve and Brady go at it in the SuperBowl.

Did storm ever make shallow diving wiggle warts? Like a 3-6' diver?

Nice job, hopefully your buddies son gets the bass fishing bug. That way you always have a back-up fishing partner.

There is no reward for doing the right thing. You do the right thing because that is what is just and right. I even give back change when cashiers give me too much, I sleep with a clear head and their is no price on that. Yup, do it so you can sleep at night and even though it is a sweet deal now, but its only a matter of time before guilt sets in.

Introducing the all new Buzzard Bazooka 5000

Yup that was me, just lucky I guess. 3 new Croix's, 3 first casts, 3 breaks 8 inches above the cork. Said it was a LIMITED lifetime warranty.

mmmmmmm TollHouse.

Not sure, I know its another MySpace thingy though.

x2. Rhodey is still 4-5 Months till prespawn or when the ice is off > > >

Sorry Raul, generalized that. Everyone I personally know that owns a kistler, including myself when I snapped one in the tailgate of a truck. Sorry to hear of your issues with them.

Agree with Blade, if someone is asking questions about a product and you have not personally used one, just dont bother posting. I mean, dont put a product down unless you have experienced a problem with it. From my experiences I didnt experience an issue with the reel seats or anything else. But obviousley others have, and thats the great thing about a site like this, you get to see everything and everyones experiences. Flip a coin I guess.lol

Ya but he probably had you crying you were laughing so hard. Him and Swindle should start a comedy club. The last seminar I saw him at he was two hours late because of 14 inches of snow we were getting, and he just talked about how bad our weather was and told "Yankee" jokes.

Football for rocks and steep drops. Arkie for brush.

Ya, might see what DEM has to say. Dont know much about the whole LMB Virus but if its transmitted by poor water quality then this is the place. This place redifines poor water quality.

HAH! dude your not alone : i think i have the idea, but what exactly is a spider jig? is it a soft plastic w/ many "tentacles"? From what I've seen, it's a finesse size jig like a 5/16oz. and it has a wire for a weed guard instead of the traditional brush style weed guard. The skirts are also thinner and smaller. I too use twin-tail grub trailers and I have yet to catch a fish on a jig so you are not alone. My bud catches fish on a spider jig or any other finesse jig all the time. He hasn't caught any large ones but they put fish in the boat. We'll flip docks for hours. He'll catch a few, I'll catch nothing. Not even a bite for me. I've got a quality rod so I can feel the bites if I get any. I did a lot of flipping grass and brush with them and used a traditional brush weedguard and like I said the bait itself compared to the skirt and trailer of a regular jig is more compact. I think it is a lot like fishing a slim stickbait vs. a regular stick bait, it must be easier for them to take in or just a small difference like that can make all the diference in the world.

Yup, I fish a lake that is loaded with schools of 2-4" white perch, this is really rare is RI so the whole lake is just loaded with bait and rocks that hold craws. But still catch fish that should go 5 but are 3 and half or four. Have huge heads, but bolemic bodies. I would say 40% of the fish population is like this and the other 60% are all chunky. And it isnt like you find the skinny fish in one are and the chunky ones in another, they are mixed in. Cant figure it out either :-?

Same here, boat is covered, until tomorrow anyway high of 48, lol. Then a cold front and the forcast says high temps wont get out of the mid to upper 30's after Friday and possibly the first snow of the year Sunday night. It has been a colder than usuall fall this year too. The lakes that dont freeze until late December have ice on them in the morning so it isnt looking good. I need to make the deck extention, installation of the new Minn Kota, and a few other boat upgrades last until March so I wont go too crazy wondering around the house.

X2 But there aren't too many big tackle places around here besides the new BPS and Cabelas that would do that. Besides Dicks and Wal Mart there are only a few (4 or 5) small mom and pop owned tackle shops around that are worth walking into. And my mom said BPS on Black Friday wasnt crowded at all, so it seems like there isnt as much as an interest over here or something.

Sweet. Ever heard Drop-Shot like its Hot? My personal favorite.

It has the fish and everything, it is just a matter of getting lucky and hitting it on the right moon phase. We will have to figure that out Matty.

lol, Sorry Matt, couldnt resist. Just the little bluefish the fish is eating is a good time, couldnt imagine getting the bigger one.

LMAO, knock knock.
