Favorite Topwater lure
I like walking baits because I get to make them do what I want.

Who ya got? Lakers or Celtics?
That they did. I hope game 7 is a lot better.

How Did I Ever Survive
I can remember my sixth grade teacher showing us this new technology called "e-mail" and I distinctly remember telling how stupid and pointless it sounded.

Mann's Jelly Worm
I have been wanting to get some of these worms for a while now. I am going to pick up some of the 12" baits as soon as I can.

R.I.P. Jimmy Dean
I really dig his microwavable sausage biscuits.

soft plastic lizards
I have done the best on watermelon and pumpkin zoom lizards. Berkley power lizards are a very close second.

R.I.P. chuck liddell's
Chuck used to eat punches much worse than that not that long ago so he could deal out his own power shots. He took power shot after power shot in his first encounter with Rampage. I hate to see him go out like this.

How many rods have you broken on a hookset?
None so far. I hope I never do but I sometimes put a little too much mustard on my hooksets.

Heinz 57
I have no idea. I mostly use leftover ketchup packages from fast food restaurants.

PB small mouth
Nice smallie. What did she weigh?

Who ya got? Lakers or Celtics?
The Celtics looked good tonight aside from their turnovers. I am glad to see them win tonight but they made me nervous at the end. The Lakers played like crap for the most part. This would have been a blowout minus Kobe.

R.I.P. chuck liddell's
I saw pictures of his lip today. It did look brutal. Its weird to see someone lose their chin like some of these guys do. I guess there are only so many shots people can take. Chuck's chin used to be an important piece of his arsenal and it just can't take the abuse it used to. He deserves some big respect though. I can't think of another fighter that played as big a part in the success of the UFC as Chuck. He was the face of the UFC for years. I hope he enjoys retirement.

Chuck had a hell of a run but he just doesn't have it any more.

Best Knot for Zara Spook
I mostly use a clip that I tied to my line using a Palomar knot.

What do tigers dream of?
Don't you worry your pretty stripped head we're gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed.

3:16 No Bull Frog
I didn't really care about these all that much until fourbizz mentioned that they could be a productive Musky bait. Now I need them even though I have only went Musky fishing one time and it was a pretty big failure. I will go again. I wouldn't mind getting these for the fall.

Texas rigged baits. You fish them on baitcaster or spinning rod
Baitcasting gear.

Tin's Revenge
Fourbizz, you are my hero. Holy crap.

top water
If the water I am fishing is calm then I will use a more subtle topwater such as a spook or a popper. A jitterbug reeled slowly is also a time tested bass catcher here as well. If the water has some chop, I will use something a little more noticeable like a devils horse or a buzzbait. You can also work the spooks and poppers in a more aggressive manner in chop as well.
-
How much?
Too many but not enough.

Need opinions on Line Conditioners
I know the stuff is popular around these parts but I can't tell that it really does anything.
-
which rod?
I agree with everything LAO162 said.

Fishing deep thread
The lake I fish the most has a ton of standing timber in it. It seems that flipping jigs in the deep timber is the only way I can catch good fish in the summer on this lake. It seems the magic depth is between 15 and 18 feet most days. I will admit that I am not good at finding fish otherwise. There are a lot of deep points on the lake as well but I don't think I have ever caught big fish off of them.
