Not at all.

Any of you diabetics have any questions or need some support, just PM me. I was diagnosed Type 1 diabetes over 8 years ago. I am insulin dependent and wear a pump. Been through it all.

None, probably just a recessive trait.

Oh God, the snakes. Had one plop right on my deck, seemingly out of nowhere. The gators are no big deal. Even had one in the boat, don't ask - and yes it was intentional, LOL. Most of the time, they leave when you are fishing. We did have one follow under the boat. Pretty funny when the graph reads 1' of water, and you are in 4'. The people at Black's Camp are super. We were having trouble finding fish last spring, and they really got us in the right direction, and on some good fish - a few PBs that week as well.. Here's a canal rat:

The only fishing mod I did to my truck was attach a boat to the hitch. The rest all fell into place after that.

Sorry about the earlier post - wrong place. I've stayed here twice, great place. Clean cabins, launch, access to both lakes, docks with juice, restaurant, great service and guys that will help you find fish. Black's Camp: http://www.blackscamp.com/home.html http://g.co/maps/aczsw

If you can't hit a big, empty Folger's can, you got issues or shouldn't be out on the water, LOL.

They are smaller, but made of brass and much heavier than the aircraft aluminum stock gears. It would be easier to just get a winch.

If everyone starts off a winner, where is the satisfaction when you actually do succeed at something?

Fishing docks on Oneida in summer. I'll wager he didn't finish in the money. I bet you're glad you got a boat....

There's three branches, therefore three shadows, all with the same angle of incidence from the boat.

Pendulum effect. You can see it if you ever go to a BPS when they have a tank seminar. It's actually pretty funny when the presenter will tell you the bait is doing one thing, and it actually does another.

Lowrance counters with a drain. Seriously, looks pretty cool!

I like to bring some jerky and nuts. Lots of water. Maybe a refreshing cold soda in the middle of the day.

I think a lot of the differences may stem from those of us that know what a "jigworm" is. Going to a weedless shaky is a natural progression. When I was a kid, that was what my grampa used on tough days. I never heard him say the "finesse" though, LOL.

That's just outstanding! Pretty neat that it made it that far. Anyone that has raised fish will know, that weird color morphs often show up when the fish are pretty small - like 1/2 to 1" long. It's not a stretch to think that this happens more often than not. Just think of freshwater angelfish we keep in aquariums. In just 40 years or so, we've come a long way from the original: Wild type scalare angel: Gold Pearlscale Angel:

The last several reels from Quantums I've worked on (KVD and a couple of Smokes) did not have HS. Can anyone confirm that they've stopped using it as OE lube?

I imagine you occasionally flip these weed choked areas. Just think, that was banned by BASS years ago.

Big hat, no cattle. All show, no go. Refers to show cars that are never driven, as opposed to hot cars that are daily drivers.

As long as we all get to watch the security tapes. Lol

You realize they have shooting there as well, and are well armed, LOL.

Did you read the original post in this thread, or did you just see the words * - rig in the title, and decide to post? Ask yourself that. Every thread that has been started by those using this rig has been inundated with haters. Give us a break. We get it - you don't like the rig. I don't like Senkos. I think they are FAR more dangerous than this rig is. Talk about a zero skill bait, LMAO. I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut if he keeps searching. I see n00bs deep hooking them all the time, cut the line, and toss them back. They are doing actual damage to the fishery. Yet the Tx angler that carefully provides for the fish he takes, and releases those that go on a livewell ride gets harpooned for trying something different to gain an edge. It's legal here, and I intend to use it until it isn't legal or a tournament director says I can't. So far I haven't heard about ANY series besides the Elites that has banned, let alone some pocket change open or club circuit. BTW, apology accepted.

Ever hock a loogie on your spool bearings just to get rid of the squeal?

I can a bend out of my rod without flexing my keyboard muscles, or insulting others. To each his own.

Couple years ago. I get around, LOL.
