We also need to start building new Oil Refineries, to be able to process all that extra oil.

Looks like a solid 5 pounder. Nice catch.

Im sure he is fine. I have had bass slam into the side of the boat during a fight. Only to be caught again another day.

You should be fine, just make sure to strap down your equipment in case you do flip. Oh and wear your PFDs as well. Dont take any chances anything can happen.

That is horrible. I couldnt even began to imagine how the father must have felt. One minute your enjoying life doing some fishing, the next you find your son dead. :'(

Very nice fish, I need to pick up a few of those spro frogs. Also what will be happening to your pond in 28 days?

I was just stating from personal experience. I fish two lakes on a regular basis. One lake is gin clear with almost zero vegatation, and the fish are almost a solid gold color with very little markings at all. The other lake is loaded with hydrilla and weeds, and the water is always dark and murky. the fish that come out of there are very dark in coloration with very distinguished markings. Heavily Vegitated lake/ dark water Clear Lake/ no vegatation

I think alot of it has to do with water clarity. Clear water will give a fish a more golden color with less visible markings. Where as a fish from murky/ heavily Vegitated water the fish will appear darker with more pronounced markings.

That is an awesome boat! I have seen some other posts about it. I couldnt think of a more perfect boat for fishing South Florida salt water Shallows and inland freshwater lakes.

I think the picture in your avatar is the better choice.

This is a tough question to answer. When speaking for the general population, one might agree to just make the patient comfortable and let nature take its course. But when its ones family member or them self the scenario changes quickly.

Those are some of the most Ignorant laws I have ever heard of! :-?

Was the other guy breakdancing or fighting!

Beautiful fish Paul! Its tough making changes in your fishing style. Especially during the blistering months of summer.

Its March Madness!!!

But i guess it doesnt matter, because he is superhuman anyways. ;D

Swim for hours a day and then do weight training and you can eat whatever you want and still not gain weight. He spends more time excercising in a day than many of us do working. I wasnt refereing to gaining weight. I was refering to building lean muscle mass, which could be better supplemented by eating large amounts of chicken, fish and Lean red meat.

How does he build a strong lean body eating a diet like that?

Thats funny ;D ;D

I have also heard a few stories from people losing there props while out on the lake.

Minn Kota, is a quality product. I would never buy anything else.

Thats a hella of a deal, good luck.

Thats insane!! BTW Welcome to the forums

You have every right to brag about your son. Most kids 18 wouldnt run into a fire if you paid them. Your son is doing it for free. That really says alot about a person.
