I lost an 8lb fish at a lunker once right at the boat. I about went iconelli

Dont listen to dock talk, 95% of it is lies. Never quit either, five mins can put a limit in the boat. You might feel like you will never make it only to have it happen fifteen mins before you must return to the launch. Pay attention to every detail you get, pay attention to the birds, the surface activity, wheres the gills/gulls.

Tanks... were you punching or frogn?

Some of them have a way to check how many hours the unit has been on. Think about those ones in BPS/Cabelas that run 24-7 for a long long time. I guess it boils down to the price of said deal.

Boat certificates are likely won in fishing events, not random drawings. A century? We havent even had 30 years of the internet open to the masses.

Remember on NES Black Bass when that whopper would hit and it would take you 1.5 hours to reel him in. Every time you tried to reel it was the line tension through the roof. 9 out of 10 times you hooked him you lost him.

Tell me, who won all those boats they were giving away last year in the pros. I know there was at least two there. There was a boat bass pro was supposed to give away also. So youre going to use the ability to win a boat to draw in traffic and then not announce the winner to bring in traffic a second round? Wouldnt that be the ultimate publicity and show faith in the contest?

I just have never heard of anyone in a VERY large gathering of individuals who has won anything significant without putting money on the front end. The odds have gotta be astronomical. If you look at it from a true marketing perspective lets say you get 100,000 names. You sell that over and over again to companies and you would not only be breaking even on the prize but likely using it for a tax write off some how. On the marketing side, its pure brilliance. On the winning side I have NEVER ONCE even heard of someone winning one. You mean to tell me if you won a bass boat in a drawing there would be no mention of it on the most popular bass forum? Yeah right.

The xrap is a great jerkbait, its not nearly mentioned as much as it should be with the market being flooded with megabass, luckycraft... ive laid em out on an xrap.

Looks awesome! I did 25lbs of front shoulders for works christmas party this year, had people wanting me to open a shop. What are you running for a smoker? I just two weeks ago did johnny trigg ribs, you gotta try that if you havent. Didnt even need sauce although I made sauce from scratch too with apple butter.

That sure sheds some light on previous questions I had for you. Real estate is definitely where its at. I do habitat work for a guy who owns a big company. Good on you!

We will be sure to give you our blessing when its too hot to breathe mid summer and were out jerkn their faces right off their bodies.

I can remember being in high school back in the late 90s and fly fishing on creeks at this time of year having hatches that dont come off until the fifties. I actually had to dig a path from my house to the shed yesterday to get the chainsaw.

It was magic at 1 degree above zero this morning when I stopped to get gas. I magically made it to $27 before I had to get back in the truck.

Anyone got a spare supercharger? We can get 800hp out of it for a little. Might be like a hovercraft at that point. Could you imagine 65 to a dead stop on a nice big rock.

Im beginning to think its all an elaborate scam to get our email address and home address.

You sell the certificate and take that money and add it to your win and buy the tournament boat used. You beat the snot out of it till you can win at the front then you take that payday and buy a top of the line make your eyelids peel back 250 and slap it on a nose bleeder like a bullet. Then when you get skunked cause you didnt get to the weigh in on time you can say... I passed takahiro omori and his yamaha now what about that ish!

I got an idea... pick your own lake classic. You take a guy in the boat, MLF style and fish any d**n lake you want at any time of year for your classic run. Whoever has the best 4 day 5 fish bag by Dec 31, takes the check.

I really think they need to start throwing a curve ball with the classic. Its always begin of the year, so its always a jerkbait, deep crankn, rattletrap kind of tournament. Cold water, no matter where it ends up, its the coldest water for the year. Start having it one year in the fall, next year in the spring, next year in the summer. Spread the love, play to everyones best times. Its no wonder KVD is a powerhouse, its always in cold water. It wouldnt hurt to run it north to south and east to west either.

Im sorry but I would get an absolute chuckle if some knucklehead was able to sack up about 25lbs on day one and sneak into the weigh in.... Next up, chuck testa, chuck testa says youre from youtube? Thought that was a website? Well lets see what ya got chuck, ya got a five fish limit.... 25LBS! CHUCK TESTA 25LBS ladies and gentlemen ... WOW!

What was the fill on the down jacket? Not all down is created equal. Youre looking to need a 600 or 800 fill for winter. I can suit you up to be warm, but youre going to pay dearly. Ill give you a piece of advice, its all about layers. Do you want to buy something from people who think they know the outdoors or people who live it? The hiking companies have great clothing thats not camo. Id go with... 1st layer: Merino Wool - it wont get stinky and provides warmth if you do sweat and get it wet 2nd layer: Fleece or wool 3rd layer: Down 4th layer: Shell wind/waterproof On the feet: Merino socks in a boot rated minimum for -40, go up a half size, tight boots make cold feet On the hands: Light glove like a sitka liner glove and handwarmers in your pockets. Take the gloves off dealing with baits or cut the index/thumb off. On the head: Fur lined hat or Merino

Your hookup rate will go way up if you can control your emotions. When they hit it, you HAVE to let the rod load before setting the hook.

Looks better for sure. I still would add a brace, its the flex that made it crack.

Companies whos baits you fish

Did I read that right that your motor was smoking? Man Id want some diagnostics run if thats the case to find out if it did any damage.
