Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard. You stumbled upon one of the Best Bass Resource sites on the net.

Here is the easiest way to learn how to use a baitcaster: 1. Purchase a Shimano Citica 200E 2. Spool up the reel with 8lb Monofilament 3. tie on a 1/2 oz jig 4. Set all the brakes on 5. properly adjust spool tension knob 6. Go to the lake and practice After an hour or two Ill bet you become very proficient

Welcome Brent, Nice to meet you.

Welcome to the forums.

Awesome work man. Way to go. I cant wait to see this thing completed.

Here you go RW http://www.***.com/descpageRLSSHIMANO-SSCMG.html

Sweet, that sounds like heaven. I'm sitting in jury duty right now. Have fun

So if you don't have a job and borrow money from your parents, you go out and win a few local tournaments. Are you considered a Pro? At that point 100% of your income would be from the few local tournaments you have won. ;D ;D I'm messing around. To me a pro is someone that fishes year round, in national level tournaments. Making all of there money from tournament wins and sponsorships/endorsements. If you have a full time job and compete in local club tournaments I wouldn't consider you a PRO.

I have been using my E21 Carrot Stick for about 4 Months now. I Own Shimano, St. Croix, Okuma, and GLoomis. I must say that the Carrot stick is by far the lightest rod that I own. I love the foam grips, I personally like the look. I have no complaints about these rods. P.s These rods are also perfectly balanced.

Are you Kidding? This guy is a joke.

OUCH! If it only happens every 4 or 5 years id probably just live with it. Does this ever happen while driving? That could be bad.

That fish is a hawg! Im sure she was closer to 9lbs. That fish would go 10lbs for sure during the prespawn/spawn time frame. Do you plan to get a mount made?

Thats an insane video. Largemouth really do eat anything they can get there mouths on.

First of all never take a vehicle to the dealership for repairs unless its under warranty. 2nd If the repairs can not be done at home on your own. Then I recommend finding a good local Mechanic that can fix the problem for you, before you try and head out to go fishing. The last thing you want is to have the truck not start after launching your boat, and have the boat stuck in the water.

WRONG ;D

I can see this lure doing really well out in Lake Okeechobee. Imagine the topwater explosion when a 12 foot gator comes from underneath and crushes this thing. ;D

If your gonna do a comparison. At least compare equivalents one is a spincast the other is a baitcaster. While on the subject lets compare a Huffy bicycle with a Ducati. They both have two wheels, a seat and handle bars. The huffy cost about $14,000 less than the Ducati. They both get you from point A to point B on two wheels with the wind blowing thru your hair. ;D ;D ;D

Nice fish man, thats a solid 3lbs.

Awesome fish, and good luck with your upcoming tournaments. I have to say though, this thread brings up a point that really drives me nuts. People always have something stupid to say when you have the background blurred out. Whats up with this? Cant someone catch a nice fish and share it with everyone, without having to share his spot?!?!?

Very sweet rod racks. I have Berkley rod holders, but the model with the foam keepers. p.s Where are all of your reels at?? Do you not keep the rods rigged with reels ready to go?

Rading Raeding I think what you were trying to say was: Reading

The lake that the original poster is talking about matching the Hatch is actually what works best. The problem is the water temps hit 89-90 degrees on average during the summer. Locating the fish is the Key. The lake is loaded with shad. But once you find them match the hatch and you can catch them. Krzkev: Take my advice, get your self a big shad swimbait, find the fish and hold on.
