I remember having to get swine flu shots in elementary school in the early 70's.

I have fished in the pond where it all started, Crofton, MD. Tons of them in the Potomac River. Guys actually fish for them. They are not the monster they are made out to be. Exactly like BigRick said, not much talk about them here where it all began. A guide here used to do a comedy routine during his seminars. First they're going to eat all of the bait fish. Then they are going to eat all the game fish, including the bass. Then they will start coming out of the water and eating pets. Then your children while they are waiting at the school bus....

The bibs will also not allow the water to run off the jacket and down the back of your pants.

Go to YOU TUBE and watch Mumbles (edbassmaster - BR member) and learn to talk the talk.

Sometimes. I am at work for about 11 hours a day and get to share with my coworkers often. I once made a guy in a car with us, throw up. ;D

It is hard to sell the unions on concessions when there are so many 6 and 7 figure salaries being paid to executives.

My wife and 19 year old daughter call it fishfacebook.

I use all 12# Hybrid.

I keep telling myself I am. I never end up believing it.

I'm not saying that he isn't a legend, and yes I have learned some techniques from him and he is a great ambassador for the sport. I just would like to see him fish more "real" bodies of water. Just about anyone can catch huge fish if that is pretty much the only thing swimming in the water. I would rather watch Bill over Charlie any day of the week. I've noticed it seems like he has switched to salt water fishing too. Does he still have a bass fishing show? Summary: Bill Dance is a legend. Look at his tournament history. Bill is TEACHING, not trying to impress anyone. In order to teach, he must CATCH fish. If he didn't catch fish, people would ask, "why should I do that, Bill didn't catch anything doing it. That is what Bill's show is all about. OK, I'm finished.

Four pages and no one is good at drinking beer? I'm very disappointed in some of you. :

Has anyone read this book? Read it on a plane this past week. 6 hours straight (I usually can't read more that an hour before needing to put a book down. Couldn't put this one down. Best theology lesson I have ever read. Phenomenal book. You won't be disappointed.

Go to the Reel Mechanics website. Caps and glue.

Impressive, yes but, I parous the members section from time to time to see names I used to see years ago. I have been around since Dec. 2004. Is there a chance that the names of members who have never been on line (except to join) or haven't been online in years, to be placed in an inactive folder. Saying we have 20,000 members is one thing, knowing how many are active is another. I know that not all participate in the forum. Some just like to watch. (avoid the temptation, you know who you are) I am talking about members again, who haven't been even logged in for years or logged in to join and never came back. Maybe some have passed away. It would be an interesting number to see.

Make sure your filler spool let line out from the top and not the bottom. Maybe line is on upside down?

Rods and reels should always be rinsed after salt water use. I don't see why this is any worse than that. They weren't submerged for any period of time.

Started by Muddy?... Must be bad.

It's because he's an idiot. Just ask BUCKEYEone :

We have a pawn shop close by. The owner fishes and is a St. Croix dealer. When new models come out, he sells the old ones at half price.

Mine here in MD doesn't have them at all.

From Janurary to the beginning of March, here in Maryland up to southern PA, there are at least a half dozen or so flea markets. From dealers to tournament anglers and regular guys selling their stuff. Over the past two weeks, I have picked up: 2 pair of Solar Bat sunglasses, brand new retailing for $180 and $120 each, $10 each. Gator custom rod 7'6" MH Fast, retail $215 (actual more because it was originally custom built for FLW Pro Aaron Hastings, a Maryland resident whom I purchased it from personally) paid $30 A 2008 ABU Garcia 5600 EXT like new paid $45 (from Aaron again) Shimano Castaic 200SF like new $100 Shimano Chronarch 100 (pearl white model) brand new with box originally $194, paid $80 The flea markets are big deals here and guys come from all around. Are there any flea markets that are looked forward to in your respective parts of the country?

To ebay it will go.

It is new with the original box.

No, it is the old Legend series from a number of years ago but, it is still new. SCIV graphite, burgundy wraps, charcoal blank. If it had been a Legend Elite, I would be fondling it right now instead of typing.
