I have it right now.I haven't been fishing since spring.I've fished so much the last few years that it doesn't excite me like it used to get me.I'm gonna take off a while and deer hunt.Hopefully,next spring I'll be ready to go again.

Saw a guy fill a burlap bag with black walnuts fresh off the tree.He tied up one end and crushed them with a hammer.He then tossed the bag into the water.As the bass started jumping out of the water(from all the acid from the crushed walnuts) he scooped them up with a landing net!

I caught my biggest bass at 6:35 AM on July 5th,2002 on a floating minnow bait(Rouge).I caught my 2nd biggest at around 6:25 AM the next morning on the same bait(different color).

I quit several years ago,but I used to LOVE Guiness Stout.

If there is money or prestige involved,cheating can happen.Some crooks have devious minds when it comes to finding a way to steal.

I've been a Red Wings fan a long time,and I will surely be rooting for them.I think they have a good chance of winning it.

During spring and early summer,I like a white spinnerbait w/ a gold willowleaf blade over a smaller chrome Colorado blade.In the late summer and fall I go with a shad crankbait.Winter is for jigs and trailers and/or Carolina rigs.

I wouldn't want to fish with a pro.I'd like to fish with my father-in law and brother-in-law who are both great bassmen.I'd like to fish at Lake Notchee just outside of Natchez,MS.

I use mono because I want enough stretch to keep from ripping the hook loose when setting the hook.

We've had one here for a year now,and although it's no BPS it's got a pretty big selection of baits that I only hear about.Price is not that bad considering I'm buying baits that were totally unavailable before.Their Senko series is actually $1.00 cheaper than anywhere I've ever bought them before.

Although there are a few with better numbers,I honestly think KVD is the best bass angler to ever wet a hook.

I'll be 50 on May 24.

For me it's because at 50 I can still fish,but I can't block 21 year old 6'5,305 D-linemen anymore!

I like fishing the grass best.I'll go with humps,wind-blown points,and creek channels tied for 2nd.

I'm sure each listed would do fine,but I'd vote for RW.He seems to be a guy with lots of wisdom and common sense.He always takes the time to explain,clarify,motivate,and even apologize if called for.

Don't know how funny it is but on a tough day I always say there's gotta be one dumb bass in this lake,and I'm gonna catch him.

i ALWAYS SAY come to daddy,so I voted come to papa.

They both found it so it's a matter of who gets there first.Paul backed off that 1st day and gave it to Monroe,but he didn't get the same respect the next day.Make your own conclusions.I live about 30 miles from Paul so I'm always gonna fall on the side of my fellow Mississippian.I think I'm right on this one ,though.Besides,it doesn't really matter now...chalk that up as a Paul Elias win!

'Bout time considering all the attention that she has gotten.She proved that she belongs,though,and I congradulate her!

I pretty much fish within 30 miles or so of my home,so I'm good.Also I fish smaller(500 or less) lakes,and I use a 25 HP Yamamha.Gas is not a problem with me...yet.

In the heat of the summer,I enjoy fishing in a afternoon summer shower(just so there's no lightning).

I've been using Strike King buzzz\baits for several years and have caught lots of bass on them.

I'd say CA,TX,and FL have the biggest bass as a whole.TX and FL probably have the most.There are numerous other states that could claim that title.This is just my opinion.I really have no idea on most bass.

As for Ffinders,I love mine,but I caught a whole lot before I used one.As for hooks or any other equipment,people use what they think is best for them and no amount of arguing about it will change that.I've used expensive hooks,but currently use what some call"cheap"(the difference is about 50 cents).I use 'em cause I like 'em not because of that extra quarter or two.

I have a boat but sometimes because of time constraints,I'll fish from the bank.It is really refreshing to do it that way from time to time.I had my best day fishing last year bassin' on the bank(I had a doctor's appointment and wouldn't have time to fool with the boat).I fish a bait that is in sync with conditions,time of year,ability to cast from the bank,etc.I usually end up fishing a Texas rigged plastic of some kind although I've used topwaters,cbaits,jbaits,jig-n-pig,etc.
