Mike, I'm guessing you didn't put your reading glasses on when you read who wrote that. ;D

Tell your buddy good job for getting the younger generation in to the sport. For that he reignited his love for the sport too. Get him out on the water before he changes his mind. ;D

I couldn't wait to try it, so I tied on a line and swam it across my fish tank to see what the action would look like. ;D

Doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Congrats on the fish. How'd you like that Vendetta rod?

This is getting interesting, very interesting.

Yes sir, You better watch out Mike I'm coming for your job. ;D Just kidding

They crushed Arizona tonight.

Yep the store closest to me is three and a half to four hours from me. I need something from Bass Pro, I'll order online. There supposed to be putting one here in Pittsburgh sometime soon.

Yep, it's not too bad of a job. :

Yep, that's pretty much what I've been doing. I just wanted to see what you guys did.

to the forums.

Nice fish.

thanks guys.

If she wants to go to the banquet and goodie bag, than yes you need to pay the $50 for her then. If she doesn't want to go then all you need to pay is $50 for yourself. The banquet is only a few hours so if she just hangs out at the room for a little while or if she wants or go and do something. Trust me it's worth going, you'll have a good time.

I just got off the phone with insurance company. They didn't even lube me up before they screwed me. They only gave me $1000 bucks for 11 rods and reels and a Life vest. Bad part is I have a $500 deductable, so that leaves me $500 to get all new stuff. I know I had way more than a thousand dollars in rods and stuff but that's all they will give. > Here's my rant- I pay all of this insurance for the past 5 years and for what? They just take your money and run anyway. They don't want to help you at all, they just want to collect your money and say sorry for your luck better luck next time. I'm ticked off now.

Some of the stuff I fish is too thick. When that's the case, How do you punch through it to get to the bottom?

yep just did it last year not on that boat, but pretty much the samething. Take the tank out it's so much easier. Here's how. Drain your tank, there should be 4 screws holding the tank in place, take them out. After that's done disconnect the fill-up and the vent hoses. You might need to disconnect you livewell hoses also. Your tank should be ready to come out. When the tanks out I'll usually clean the whole storage compartment now that there's nothing really in your way now.

How do you guys research a lake for tournaments on-line? I'm looking for the bag weights that they had from previous years and any other info I can get.

I went out and got a Tru Tungsten 4" swimbait in Tru Craw color. You guys do any good on these swimbaits? So let's hear what you think about them. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp;jsessionid=R2SWT0IUFEWPDLAQBBJSCONMCAEFIIWE?id=0064749123931a&type=product&cmCat=froogle&cm_ven=data_feed&cm_cat=froogle&cm_pla=0840306&cm_ite=0064749123931a&_requestid=13453

You cheating on us with another forum, You SOB. You heard what Keri did to Liz, I'm going to send her you're way to deal with you too. ;D ;D

Nice post Rhino. Catt I had also have heard that before, I heard that the water could be upwards of 5-8 degrees different. On a Tourney, I did what Swilly said. But this was lily pads, Everybody was hitting the edges of them so I trolled right through and sat in the middle of it. I kept tossing a white Senko in the holes for 6 hours. The first 2 hours I had my limit. Believe or not, I like throwing a Rage Tail Toad with a swimbait hook through grass. You let the toad go down in the grass as deep as you want and I use little jerks on the rod to simulate a frog kicking, You can get some massive hits off of it.

Try it again Brian, I had to click on it 3 times for it to go through. I thought it was just my laptop, Guess not.

Sounds like you had a good time. Congrats
