I think I read that the Ninja worm is still in the prototype stage. If that's true, pics of it will be hard to find.

Kiriyama brought the heaviest bag of the tournament to the scales today when it counted most. Congrats to him, great fishing!

Faircloth will carry the AOY points lead into the last event at Oneida. The exact # of points he leads by won't be determined until after the final weigh in tomorrow on Erie. It's going to be a close race.

Thats what I've been doing. Someone had mentioned Lime Wire so I thought I'd check it out. And as I suspected, with all the bad reports and the possibility of being fined for using Lime Wire, I figured something that was 'free' was too good to be true. I'll probably just stick with I Tunes.

^^^^Long Mike will absolutely love this post ^^^^

What site(s) do you use? Anybody ever used LimeWire?

Nice fish!

Faircloth is on a roll. I figured KVD would have a little better than what he weighed in. Oh well, still 3 days to go.

The brake screech takes a little getting used to but in my opinion, the Premier is a great reel. I don't have any of the 2008 models so I can't really say. I know I like my 2007 models.

Yeah, the schedule is suited to KVD but I voted McClelland. He's overcome so much in the past few years, I'd really like to see him win it. He's very deserving and has had a good year. But if I had to lay money on it....it would be KVD.

Excellent plug JT !! Thanks !

Yep, been happening like that for years. NASCAR strives to keep everybody bunched up on the track.

I've probably bought or sold 100+ rods and shipped with USPS and I've only had two broken, one coming, one going. (knock on wood) Sorry for the bad luck LBH

Cheapest I've seen is $3.69. It doesn't really matter anyway.....if it dropped another $1.50 it would still be price gouging at it's finest.

The only real issue I have with Skeet's truck is that it has that little blue oval on the grill. Now the boat trailer with the cabinets and storage is a great concept but man, that thing is ugly.

What's wrong Burleyman?

I can't see BASS putting up that much money to make something like that happen. Heck, BASS acted like putting on the Major tournaments (no entry fees, huge payout) the past couple years just about sent them to the poorhouse.

What took you so long? Your internet been down?

Yeah, the camera's wouldn't be a problem at all. And that 'Deadliest Catch' show is addictive.

Did any of you guys notice the laughing smiley face on my last post? That reply was not to be taken seriously......just bored and felt like posting something. I know the camera/TV deal would never happen.

And if they really wanted to make the Elite Series truly ELITE, they'd cut down to 25, put cameras in every boat, every day, and make a 'TV package deal' like NASCAR where you could watch your favorite angler or anglers the entire tournament while sitting on your couch. You'd have 75 getting left out but ESPN/BASS would be raking in the $ from the TV package and it wouldn't matter. ;D
