Never heard of "Fat Ika" before, until a few years ago on this forum. That one tip has been worth the price of admission. I have caught more fish on them in the last couple years then any other soft plastic, and I selfishly agree, KEEP IT A SECRET.

Too many variables

g.loomis rods / shimano reels

I know I'm late on this, but just wanted to congratulate a fellow Idahoan on his win on Bull Shoal. A state not known for it's bass fishing and not a high producer of elite anglers on the tour. Again congratulation to Brandon Palaniuk, Idaho is proud.

CONSISTANCY- is really the difference in any sports or endeveor. I might luck out and get the bat head out on a 95 mph fastball. We might bowl a 250+ game or reach par on a hole a few times, but what makes people able to compete on a high level and make a living at it is their ablility to do it consistantly. The more consistant your are, the more successful you are ($$$$) I've had great days out fishing when I probably could have place in a few tournys. Can I do it consistantly enough to make a living at it ? , well i ain't givin up my day job. Also keeping up with KVD is like hitting a 95mph fastball. (consistantly) (IMO)

I have a hard time not recommending GREEN PUMKIN

That would have been great in my day

it varies, depending on where I'm going and how I plan to fish. I usually carry as many rods as I can without them being too cumbersome, up to 8.

good post. I think that is one of the reasons fishing can be so compelling. Fish, learn, and figure things out.

Oh, I'd catch fish alright. They would just catch bigger ones and more of them. I might get lucky here and there but in the long haul talent and experience would win out.

Gotta keep droppin in on Dicks, you never know.

BPS Crankin Stik for the $$$$

Personal Best

good job.

Never know about a pond. My son pulled in a 9 lb + out of a pond that we rearly pull a 3 pounder out of. He leased her, taught him well.

good advice.

Hard for me to tell, but good job.

good job, go do it again

yep 3/8 of an ounce

Sometimes in the wind I will use a spinning outfit to through light cranks.

You could give me the best of everything as far as equipment and the big boys would kill me on a zebco. They are far superior in knowledge and skill that no amount of equipment will compansate for.

I personally like 65# PP for froggin

Did well last trip with KVD 1.0

Fat Albert twin tails

put a scale to the bigger fish.
