KVD seems like a great guy.....I cant remember ever hearing of anyone that had something bad to say about him.I got alot from his DVD's and he's one of the pro's that is respected on every level.

That guy backed out,still need some help here.

Great questions with great answers......thanks Andy and Glenn.

This should be interesting.I'm down for a man made lake over 6,000 acres.

dink,I found somebody that can do it. dale,you have a pm

I witnessed the Va Game Dept shocking Smith Mtn Lake a few years back.It was neat seeing all the fish that float up.You really dont know how many fish there are in an area until you see the water shocking in person.I was really surprised and started fishing alot slower after that.They would go into a cut off the main lake and shock it and the fish just floated up.......bluegills everywhere,huge carp,cats,lm bass,sm bass,you name it.Very interesting.

Thats awesome Russ.....I seriously doubt they could have found a better person for that position.I see big things happening for those kids in the near future.Congrats man. 5

PM me if you can make some spinnerbait skirts,I need about 10 or 12 of the same color.

I think at some point in our fishing careers pretty much everyone has used a Zebco closed face reel.They are right hand reels.That was my problem,I learned casting with that Zebco and the first baitcaster I got was the same.I never switched.When I did try to switch to lefties,I just couldnt do it and didnt take the time to learn.Now I'm trying it again (left elbow problem) and am taking only my lefty reels to the lake.It's helping,although I catch myself every now and then switching hands out of habit and trying to reel something that is not there. ;D I do know that I have better feel and am more coordinated using my dominant hand (right) to hold and control the rod.My jig fishing improved immediately.

;D ;D If you did the earplug thing and eyes closed thing,you're feel would improve tremendously in my opinion......but your boat handling skills would suffer or if you're bank fishing,you may end up wet.

What he said.....and be sure to check out the whole forum,articles,news etc.....no shortage of info around here. 5

Best wishes.. I'm gonna win mine That's a great attitude to have,I hope you do win one!

WHY NOT ??? Please tell me. Gamblers are great boats in my opinion.I like everything about mine.Best features are that they have no wood (that will rot) and are very well built.They handle like you are on a rail around corners and do great in big waves. Gamblers are not mass produced like other big name boat companies,so there are no details "over-looked".They also hold their value pretty good in case you sell it down the road. .......and I had no problems getting insurance. Check your PM box (messages)

I have caught fish up to about 6# on topwater......mainly a buzzbait.Anything over 6# has been caught on plastics and the occasional deep crank. A question for those of you that have caught 8+ pounders on a topwater bait.Did they come up and bust the lure and make a big commotion or did they just kinda suck it under?Every bass over about 5# that I've caught on topwater has just sucked it down with hardly any splash.

I have some of my very best tournaments at lakes I know little about and dont practice on at all.I just go out and fish.....its a whole lot simpler that way.Having too much information in your pocket can screw you up if your main pattern fails. Being on your home lake when that happens just adds more pressure to the situation.

That's cool LBH....he is an inspiration to all fisherman who know him.

Sounds good. You takin' your boat so you can slip out after everybody is gone?

So where are the kids fishing?Will it be easy for them to hookup?The biggest drawback with young kids and fishing is keeping them interested......they get bored real easy as you may know.We have a kids trout rally here in town and when the fish stop biting,the kids get unruly. ;D

I'm looking forward to another LBH Productions video.I bet those kids are glad to have you in their corner.

It lists for $12,295 with a 50 4 stroke. I don't know if 2 strokes run a little higher in price than 4's or not. The 2 strokes should be cheaper.....

It didnt cut out when I tried the hole-shot,it cut out after I had been on plane for about 15 seconds and was trimming up.That is whats so weird.Starting,idle and hole-shot all good. :-? <------- Thanks for your reply,keep it coming.

Look around this RESUME'S forum,you will find plenty of info about getting sposored......I think earthworm77 has a good one going.

First things first.....I have a 1992 E200STLENS which has an electronic fuel pump just outside the gas tank.It is controlled by a toggle switch.Before starting,I flip the switch,pump starts running,turn the key,motor is running.Never a problem starting. Today I noticed that when I flipped the fuel pump toggle,I didnt hear the fuel pump turn on like usual.Thought that was weird but went on anyway.Boat started fine,idled fine,when I gassed it to get on plane,it seemed as nothing was wrong.After I got on plane and trimmed up to approx 4,000 rpm the motor sounded like it choked and just cut off.Swamped the back end of my boat with backwash,it just flat cut off. Is it safe to assume its a fuel pump gone bad?If so,why did it not cut out when I hammered the gas to get on plane?Why did it take so long to cut out?Seems it just wouldnt start at all if the fuel pump,in fact,wasnt pulling fuel.....correct? Its got me puzzled....anybody got ideas?

Thats the ultimate concentration breaker.Good call CJ. The second for me is having to use the bathroom.

If the fish are hitting topwaters,I like to half-step a Spook until it gets a foot or more under the dock.Then I'll let it sit for a bit,then work it back out.And I always try to walk the Spook so it bumps into every dock post.And each time it bumps the dock,I pause it for 5 seconds. I also use a Zara Puppy sometimes for that but the Puppy is harder to half-step than its big brother.
