good idea.

You make me Face Palm.

No sir.Even if the drive was kept alive by bad calls and that drive resulted in a TD, it was not the bad call for a TD that decided the game. You can say what if they had of those terrible calls that kept that drive alive were called correctly and GB never scored that TD? their gameplay would have changed. They wouldnt have called the same plays they did if they were losing. Anything could have happened. All you want to do is talk about how the refs helped GB and Seattle played better and I am agreeing with you 100%. But the FACT is that, that last play WAS NOT a TD and WAS an INT and that 1 single call directly decided the game. And it was wrong. Those bad calls that kept the drive alive did not end the game. Again I dont disagree with you man. Seattle did great. But they didnt earn the W. Plain and simple IMO. And thats all I was getting at. Either way it was an incorrect call and it needs to change. If the real refs were officiating then they would have called the Offensive pass interferance on Golden Taint and the game would have been over and all of this controversy would have been ovoided........The NFL is losing integrity.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the final call that decided the game. Sure they played better than expected. Thats awesome and all BUT thats not what won them the game. You dont win a game by simply playing great. You win a game by scorin more points than the opposing team. The final call was without a doubt 100% undeniably WRONG. Anyone who honestly thinks that was a catch needs to go watch soccer or volleyball. Sure you can say in the end in the books Seattle has a W. To me its a L. How can anyone be happy winning a game that way? I think its pathetic watching Golden taint celebrate like he actually caught the ball knowing d**n well he did not. I just dont get it. Regardless everyone has their own opinion and if you are comfortable taking a W that way then more power to you. I would rather earn something then have it handed to me undeservingly.

Some of these refs were let go by the Lingerie football league for bad calls.......And the NFL decides to hire them? Amazing!

Pitching into heavy cover calls for pit boss. I like the compact profile to glide through easier. otherwise I use a rage Hawg. Honestly I don't use much plastics anymore. I have moved to jigs. But when and if I do, that's how I do it.

Black, blue, gp, brown, orange. Those 5 colors in any variation. color selection can drive me insane so I keep it simple with those 5.

Congratulations. I brought home one of the blankets my son and daughter slept with the first couple of days in the hospital before we brought them home and laid it on the couch next to my dog. She sniffed it for a while and carried on. When we finally made it home she greeted us at the door and like she had known them forever. She now stands in front of either of my kids when the doorbell rings or someone she is unsure of is in the home or around them. Not in a mean way, just a precautionary way. Animals and kids can share an amazing bond if done correctly. My kids and our cat and dog are best friends. Good luck and again, congratulations! -JP

WHAT.THE.HECK One of the worst calls I have ever seen in sports history. Clearly offensive pass interference and a INT. That was almost impossible to mess up and they did. Get ready for the NFL to explode tomorrow!

to each their own. You have you're priorities in order. Keep it up brutha. The fish ain't doing anything but getting bigger! They will be there when you are. Get out there with your pops if you can so you won't have to be wishing that you had.

The size of fish one man catches vs another has nothing to do with hook sharpness, unless of course your using a completely dull and rusted crappie hook. Location and presentation determines size. Ask Alton Jones or KVD or any Pro Angler if they sharpen their hooks prior to fishing a tourney. I bet my house and car payments their answer is no. They seem to do just fine, right?

I checked Tackle Wrhse .com and they have the Denny Brauer 3x chunks available. But not the large craw version. Try googling it and looking around. Maybe Ebay?

To give a little more definition to a square bill. They are shallow water cranks. most run from 0-5 ft. The square bill helps the crank dig into the bottom and deflect off of cover better than a traditional round billed crankbait. They can be thrown near brush and trees and rocks and not get hung up like a most other treble hook lures would. I am most successful throwing mine near the shore early in the morning when fish are actively feeding in the shallows. I hooked up with 6 fish on my first 10 casts this morning throwing a KVD 1.5 in Gizzard Shad and letting it dig into and deflect off of the rocky bottom in about 4 ft of water. These are lures you cant be afraid to throw into a place where any other treble hook would get hung up. Good luck! -JP

If its free then I love netbait!

I really couldnt care less about rattles. I dont buy jigs based on rattles. If it has some, thats fine. If not then thats fine too. I will however NOT buy a jig because of rattles if they look worthless or dont really work. I dislike a couple of brands for this reason.

Rage craw. Best action of any soft plastic.

For something a bit more subtle I REEEEALLLYY like the SK 3X Craw. Claws stand up very well.

For light jigs in open water I use 12# Yo Zuri. For flipping/skipping docks, boathouses and trees/brush I have went back to Berkley 100% FC. I tried it a while ago and didnt really like it. After trying a few others I went back to Berkley and am liking it more and more. The Vicious Pro Elite is supposed not bad from what I hear. Big-O uses it and swears by it from what I remember. BPS XPS flouro Is highly recommended by alot of members too. I can NEVER find it in stock though. -JP

durability is not an issue with me. 6 or 7 fish is on average per craw is not bad IMO. Plus no plastic can match rage tail's actions. Were you fishing the rage tail and yum plastics under the same conditions at the same time? If it worked for you then more power to you! Not trying to come off as an a hole honestly. rage tail craws are flawless in every single way in my opinion. no need to change what's not broken.

Buy some kvd 1.5 & 2.5 square bills. You will instantly become addicted. They're incredible.

Strike king tour grade spinnerbaits is all I fish. White and white/chartreuse in 1/4 or 3/8 oz.

I fish sk amost exclusively now. Not because I am brand loyal but because I always have success with sk products.Like RW said, just the way you are fishing them. they are hard to fish wrong. Just let the fish tell you.

I'm not worried about price. I understand swimbaits are pricey. I don't mind paying for quality baits if they will last a few fish or atleast a big fish. I want to start out with a couple so 50$ would be fine. The heaviest rod I own is a mh rated up to 1 1/2 oz. if I can find something within this weight range that about be awesome. If not I can buy a heavy stick.

Yeah the pond in my pic is the one I'm talking about. It has super thick vegetation at one end. The deepest part though is a little less congested with just some weeds at the bottom. Water is clear.. The only thing that even resembles bait in their is the baby bass. I haven't seen anything else yet that would be pray. do bass actively feed off of the young bass year around or would there have to be another form of food in there I just haven't seen yet?
