It was Western Kentucky.... : Can't wait until Flordia beats them 63 - 7.

Whining over the Hokies getting whipped. ;D They had no business be ranked that high up... Washington is giving LSU a scare.

Ok I have been very fortunate in the past few years to really see and test all the big boats in big water. I'm talking each companies gem in tough 3-6 foot stuff on Champlain. It is a great thing about having to be a non-boater as a poor college student... Bass Cat Puma/Cougar: Great boats but you pay for it. They are fast, handle the brutal stuff well but every time you come down off a big wave you feel your spine compress and the sound of the boat wanting to crack in half. Their seats are almost as bad as Tritons and are not comfy at all. But they are very fast and up until about the 4 footers they give a great ride. My favorite feature is the net compartment in the front deck. But it seems all of them have livewell issues after a couple years. Champion: A lot like the Cat's but the seats are comfortable. I feel like there isn't much space in the between the seats and console and that was my only real issue. The reason I will never own one is because of the crappy Champion dealers around here. My favorite thing about them is their look. They look stealthy and mean. Nitro 929CDC: My least favorite boat. Good in the real stuff from 4-6 foot waves but in the slick water it is a sled compared to a Cat or Skeeter. Love the storage and the room, but just not enough coconuts for me. In the flat calm stuff, with 2 guys, a tank of gas, and a 250 Pro XS we hit 64 mph on the gps WOT. He had a Tempest on the dam thing for a prop as well. Ranger 21z: Are the second best boats I have been in in rough stuff but they really seem to lack in that 0-30mph excelleration area. I love compartment hatches and storage. They are laid out better than any boat around. Skeeter ZX250: The best boat I have been in in rough water and the fastest. These things are 78-80mph air craft carriers. Not the best with storage but they make up for it with all cool little things like the handle that pops up from the middle seat to hang on to. Stratos 201 pro or whatever the big 21' one is: Very fast out of the hole until it peaks in the mid 70's and good in the big water. But....it seems like as soon as these things see big aves they fall apart. The shocks and springs that hold the copartments open love to break and their idea of storage organization is just awful. Plus....I have seen a lot of twisted hulls on these things. Triton 21x2/3: An aircraft carrier like the ZX250 but as slow as the Nitro. With a full tank and two guys with a 225 Pro XS it is a low 60's boat. With the 250 you are looking at 66-68 tops. Super stable but you are paying for the Triton name and it is like sitting on a milk crate. So their is my 2 cents on all the "great ones" in rough water....

Where's Scott.....

Glenn your Seahawks might be cutting Dion Branch, he is worth almost 4 mill this year and is their number three reciever. Pretty sad what has happened with him since he was greedy and left the Pats. They should trade him and see what they can get for picks or defensive help.

Octopus hooks that are not circle hooks are the best for wacky rigging imo. They require a hookset but every time that hook is usually buried in the roof of the mouth. Octopus circles are a whole other issue and I can't stand them.

So is this why braid is so sensitive? :-? And I find it hard to believe that flouro stretches more than mono. After fishing with flouro for so long, if I go to mono it feels like fishing with a rubber band.

I just read it too... >

So I'm going to look into it now. So hopefully if I go nuts at the gym it could get me looking like Burley and not Jared before Subway..

The doctor and a few others all said it makes you basically unable to stop eating and you are always hungry. You also retain a lot more water. (I know school is back in, you drinking?I know you're smarter than that)

Well the doctor put me on them today (prednisone) to help with the Crohn's disease now my question is how do I avoid blowing up like a wood-tick on them? Anyone had to go on them or anything? I called a few friends that were on them for cancer and various things but I'm going to be on them for a while. All of them also gained any where from 30-70 pounds in just a few months on them. I have dropped about 80 pounds since high school 2 years ago and don't want to get chunky again. The tracker only goes about 35mph as it is and I don't want to go any slower than that.

It is nice and simple around here in fall. Fish your typical ppe-spawn spots with the same baits and any green grass that is left on the lake.... ;D

Couldn't resist....

Those keggers down at Penn State must be getting pretty nuts. Or do you have a room mate who keeps stealing your Natty Ice?

x2, they are both amazing motors but the local dealerships reputation would determine which way I go.

Bassnleo : The reason I'm going with the 4.3l is because it is a v6. I don't have a 21 foot glass boat so I really don't need a v8.

Hey Dave; Screw this exclusive crap. PM me your address, I have some cranks for you, no strings and no rules. Passin it Forward mmmm...between this and the Elite Member of the month I have zero self-confidence now. Anyone have any Prozac?

and in the National League... :-/ :-X :-/ There is a reason why Smoltz was so good there... ;D

Nice fish on the swimbait and rockin' the Sox hat...good deal. ;D

Sorry. "Unc" is what D3 and I call bassnajr. My grammar skills are not what they usually are tonight. I still have anesthesia in my system, cut me some slack. ;D

Almost as much as blue....nevermind.

Nice seats Mr. Mike. Those would actually look amazing in your Procraft Unc.

We have Ben and Jerry's up here...nothing quite like Magic Raspberry Brownie.

Just go all in...you will be really happy or get a free room for the night.

Wishing you the best Frogtog. Get well soon.
