Merry Christmas!

Thanks for your service!

Tournament fishing is simply the biggest adrenaline rush that I have ever experienced. To me there is nothing like not being able to sleep the night before a tournament and when you do finally doze off your alarm goes off at 0330 when the other two alarms go off because your freaked out by thought that you might one day sleep through the alarm and miss your fix of tournament fishing, although you know youll never sleep deep enough for that to really happen then you recheck everything that has already been ready to go for hours. You then head to the ramp drinking coffee, pop, energy drink ect. knowing that your going to have to pee as soon as you actually start fishing. take-off is an adrenaline rush in itself with that sweet smell of outboard exhuast and the chirps of new merc pro xs that make me so jealous sometimes, and then 0-60 in a few seconds when they finally call boat 112. I've only been tournament fishing for two years but I still get the trembles the first fish I catch each tournament, because I know I'm getting dialed in. If I ever lose this Ill stop tournament fishing, but thats not likely. If you never tried it go for it. P.S. Roadwarrior your smallmouth make me sick to my stomach.

Yep. I work 7pm to 7 am 3-4 days a week, so my sleep is all messed up. On top of that durning tournament season I'm up at 3-5am to fish every day off. I usually go about a week with only a few hours of sleep a night or day, then will sleep really well for a night.

Thats nice looking. The skirt has a real nice color and pattern to it. I fish a lot of gold colored spinnerbaits. Let us know if it catches fish! ;D

soup or sex joke. too funny ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ive fished as a co in the BFL the past two years and have done alright, but more importantly I've learned a lot. I used to switch between say a jig and a t-rig every few cast, but I think that hurt me. Stick with what your confident in and give it a chance. Also you have to follow the speed of the boater , if there spinnerbaiting or cranking you have to fish fast also. I think the best thing a co can do is stay positive, a couple fish can usually go along way on the co-angler side and practice casting, very accurate casting can catch fish some boaters may miss, stay focused, relax, and bump every piece of cover you can and the fish will come.

Wicked!

very funny ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Another excuse to fish even more the next 4 years. ;D And with global warming maybe higher water temps will grow bigger bass for me up here in ohio, just a thought as i await 8 inches of snow coming today.

Good Luck Basspro48, sounds like you got the stuff to make it happen.

Multiple catfish on cranks every year. A bunch of carp on rebel craw cranks and in-line spiners (this one smallie creek I fish Is loaded with carp)

slow down. get a mojo rig with a straight shank worm hook and a 4 inch finesse worm (Zoom). crawl it across the bottom as slow as you possibly can on spinning gear, bites will generally feel like a rubber band stretching.

Beam. Beam and coke.

Hey everyone! Been reading around awhile and seems like an awesome site! I was wondering if anyone here fishs the opens or will be? I am fishing the three southerns as a co-angler. Just wonder of any advice or thoughts of what I got myself into. I have experience as a BFL co-angler, but thats it other than club and local stuff. Any thoughts will be gladly accepted.
