Pete did not fair well last time he was in the NFL, his record was not that good. I wonder how he will do this time if he signs with Seattle.

All, Big O was on Strike King Pro Journal with Shaw Grigsby tonight on the Pursuit Network (aka Hunt network). I believe the show airs again at 10:30 AM tomorrow. If you have the channel you should check out the show. The two of them were catching a whole lot of bass with the Rage Tail Anaconda. Great show Big O, I really enjoyed watching it.

The Rage Tail Shad is a staple in my arsenal of baits and it has produced extremely well for me when run across the top of the hydrilla.

I like using keel weighted hooks on the 10 inch and TX rigged on the 7 inch.

Bass Wishes to all for the new year.

I go each year and I usually let the bait monkey steal about $500 from me on that trip for new reels, rods and if there is any money left, some tackle. I am looking at buying either a new Shimano Curado or a Quantum Pro Tour baitcaster and a new St Croix Mojo rod.

I use Rage Tail baits and I leave them in the plastic clam shells inside the bags. I take what ever ones I am going to use for a fishing trip and put them in the side pocket in my tacklebox. I have two big plastic storage boxes in a closet to store all of the other bags of baits that I am not using. I got a great deal at Boaters Warehouse when they went out of business and I bought approximately 150 bags of baits so I have a good supply to choose from.

I only got a handful of lures, 2 Terminator T2 spinnerbaits and 3 BPS Laser Eye Nitros. The wife and I decided to spend our Christmas money on our kids and grandson rather than ourselves this year.

Only a couple of days left.

Only a few days left for those that would like to help. These soldiers will be extremely happy to see how much we support them. Once again THANK YOU to all that participate in the Holiday Mail For Heroes. Ron DeFreitas

WTG Simon, that is one nice hawg. It must of been one heck of a fight.

The official announcement just came out, he is leaving the sport indefinately. His yacht has been loaed up and they are headed to their new home on an island near Sweeden only reachable by boat. What a shame, the PGA viewership is going to take a major nose dive.

No need to put anything on the envelopes if you are mailing them in bulk like I did. I placed all of my cards into one large envelope and mailed them. I did write a short message thanking them on inside of each of the individual cards though. Once again, thank you to all that are helping with this effort.

Welcome to a great site with all kinds of information to help make you a better angler. There are also a lot of really good people here that will help you out as well.

All, Xerox has set up a site to create and send post cards to the troops over in the Middle East. They are providing this service for free and they are covering the postage. You go to www.letssaythanks.com and then pick out the post card, enter your name and hometown then pick a thank you for the back of the post card. This is free to do so lets see how many we can send out to the troops on the front lines. You can also read the thank yous from the troops on this site. Thanks, Ron DeFreitas

I would like to see the paint job.

Please write a short personal message on each and then send them to the address in the first post. If you are sending multiple cards it may be cheaper to send them via bulk mail rather than putting stamps on each of the cards. I have placed 25 cards into individual envelopes and then I placed all of them into a large envelope because it is cheaper to send them that way. I hope this explanation helps.

Thank You to all for helping with this effort, this will make a huge impact in their lives. I can tell you that based on first hand experience. Here is a picture of just one of the many soldiers my family had the honor of spending time with at the Take A Wounded Soldier Fishing tournament. Once again, thanks Big O for letting us represent Rage Tail at this event.

WTG Paul, that is one big cat.

WTG basser89, that is an awesome looking smallie.

WTG, I would say is was one good morning for sure.

That is a nice hawg you got there.

Congrats on the hawg.

WTG Paul, that is one nice hawg you got there.
