Does burning baits only apply to lipless cranks?
http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10202576?cm_mmc=froogle-_-100-6-1-_--1-_-38-250-463-70&hvarAID=froogle&mr:trackingCode=BF81C692-DAF6-DD11-80C2-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA Strike King now has a burner spinnerbait with smaller blades. This is a technique I use for smallmouth in the spring. It works best if its cloudy with a breeze. I burn it just under the surface. The smallies come from 15' and slam it, ripping the rod from my hands. KVD recommended shortening the skirt to the hook, shortening the blade are 1/2 inch and downsize the blades so you can reel fast without the bait spinning. This was before The Burner which addresses these issues.

Wildlife encounters
I've had a deer swim by my boat 2 years ago. They are actually fast swimmers. Another time I was fly fishing in my waders about 3 feet deep and I looked down and there was a giant snapping turtle next to me with white leeches all over his back. It was the size of toilet seat.

How do you qualify someone as a great bass fisherman?
This describes what I feel the best. 6am with the boat in the water and 40 other boats waiting for blast off and I look around for the "uh-oh" factor. Thanks for putting into words

How do you qualify someone as a great bass fisherman?
A Lot of you set your standards pretty high and a lot of you have a very different sense of what makes someone a great bass fisherman. The top ones seem to be -catching big bass consistently -teaching others -or simply a passion for the sport

spinnerbaits
Strike King now has a burner spinnerbait with downsized blades to prevent it from spinning. I have my best results on cloudy and windy days. Keep the bait 6" below the surface and hold on. 5-15' water on flats etc. as stated by stepchild

The 25lb Bass
Thats why I'll never swim in California

Custom vs. Lucky Craft, IMA, Megabass, etc.
if I could be ignorant for a minute here... I used Rapala for many years because I didn't think there was quality in crankbaits. I thought LC was just an overpriced lure. Now I am learning that you can order a custom bait??? I didn't know that was possible. How much would one of these cost?

The 25lb Bass
WRB--can't you sue for that not only the world record was lost but the million $$$$ endorsements too. sorry my friend, that is a deep wound. Dottie got her justice when she passed, she made the top 25 list and was caught possibly weighing 25 lbs+/- she made history and will be spoken of in lore for many years. Maybe one of the only bass that everyone knows her name and won't be bothered any more---That's justice!!!!!!!!!

Classic/Muscle Cars
I just sold my '90 Corvette convertible in the fall. Since having my daughter, I never drove it. I take her everywhere I go. I figured there was a law that banned child seats in 'vettes. I just wasn't able to drive it under 100 on the highway. Same reason I never bought a crotch rocket.

Fishing Bridge Pilings
Is this for a river or lake? I assume lake with no current otherwise a senko would be downstream too fast. Also how do you pick which pilings will be more productive?

Progressive Lunker
never heard of it either I'd rather lunker at the end of each day. Instead we do an extra $5 per tourney that goes to 2nd 3rd and 4th in points.
