Great new PB. Congratulations.

A man goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives him the drink he says: 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 88th birthday and it's today.' The bartender says 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.' As the man finishes his drink the person to his right says'I would like to buy you a drink, too.' The old man says 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming up' says the bartender.' As he finishes that drink, the person to his left says 'I would like to buy you one, too.' The old man says 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming right up' the bartender says. As he gives him the drink, he says, Sir, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?' The old man replies, ’Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor... Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

Sounds like you killed them.

Congrats on your new PB.

Ohio state dominated Wisconsin and the best back in college football. What should their ranking be ?

I said it once before in jest. But until you can talk to a bass it is all conjecture.

I think he got it right. Senior special

The two amigos had 150 fish the first day. No news on size yet.

Sweet. It's getting near the end .

Welcome back.

I don't think you need any advice at all. We should be asking you for advice.

My point exactly. It's all conjecture.

Did not measure her but I think the length & girth were very similar. Caught on a NorthStar hidden head spinner bait.

Chris take a hard look at St Croix Avid X for $200 and or Kistler Helium 3 Series at $249.99. Both on sale at 20% off until the 5th at TW.

Until someone learns how to communicate with a bass we will never know the answer. Heck I can't even get my dog to talk to me.

15 lb smackdown is smaller dia than 10 lb 832. 10 lb smackdown is even smaller yet. Take a look at it.

I can tell you the Mexican bass like them. Fished with a mag fluke or big sluggo.

Yea but Webster wasn't a fisherman.

Speedy recovery & best wishes going forward.

Hope you get better soon.

Houses are like boats except they don't go anywhere. They love bleeding you dry. At least you still got your toilet & shower.

When I was in high school a buddy and I supplied the biology lab with all the frogs they needed for dissection. We used rod & reel with a bare hook & attached a strip of red cloth to the hook Walked a river bank & dangled the cloth strip in front of them as we walked down the bank behind them. Worked really well.

My biggest ski was from 1970's at 50" & 34lbs as I remember. I only have polaroid pics of that one. There are a couple other ski pics in this gallery. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/album/71-multi-species-favorites/
