WOW ~ What a Honker of a Nice Trout ! Congrats A-Jay

Really good bait Try hanging one on the back of a Freedom Tackle Hydra Hybrid Jig head - without a skirt. Killer. A-Jay

Nice Truck ~ Congrats And I have that in dash style camera view and I like it. For parking or guiding a hitch ball into the trailer coupler it's nice. There is also a "Guide" (sort of like a grid) which displays on the screen indicating where I'm headed - very handy. A-Jay

Couple of Sweet Bronze Fatties ~ Congrats A-Jay

So are we ~ A-Jay

Hello and Congrats on your successful Spawning. Welcome back to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Great Bass ~ Congrats A-Jay

Nice Bass B-Man But please, by a scale. Any Scale. Even if it comes out of a gum ball machine - buy it. A-Jay http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/148880-the-official-i-dont-have-a-scale-calculator/?p=1668095

They look like two Toddlers at the weight in - The announcer had 100 pounds on them - maybe even together. This fight does nothing for me. It Jumped the Shark years ago ~ just like that saying has. A-Jay

The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots - managed to get Malcom Brown - DT At 6'2" & 319 lb - there's plenty of optimism that he'll be able to replace at least some of the space & high level of play vacated by the veteran Vince Wilfork. A-Jay

I use a 15 lb Boga and one of these ~ A-Jay

If you're looking to fish these baits "deep" and that's a relative term as the design itself is somewhat counter productive, check out the V&M Pacemaker Ledge Blade - It comes in 3/4 & 1 oz sizes and is made to fish below what most lighter blades baits are routinely not able to maintain. A-Jay

Yes Roger. As the manufacture describes it,; The Duo Realis Pencil comes equipped with a fixed rear-weighting system, as well as, a moving weight transfer system. These weighting systems work together to produce long-distance casts, and during the retrieve, they also combine to emit a distinct, high-pitch clicking sound. When this bait is stopped / come to rest in the water, it does sit tail down. So it's not like a popper or chugger that is routinely fished with a pause or rest.. It's strictly a walking bait and a good one. A-Jay

One of if not my favorite walking bait. A-Jay

Theoretically yes, but there's a lot that goes into making it a spot that will hold quality bass. Some of the factors (but this list may not be all inclusive) - fishing pressure; if the spot is getting hammered repeatedly day in & day out, even though it looks good - usually the fish will abandon it. Water depth & the proximity to deep water - and that's just for starters. And one caveat is sometimes these good looking spots can be completely void of any bass during the day but be loaded up after dark - keep that in mind. A-Jay

Very Cool ~ Way to be. A-Jay

I know exactly what you're talking about - Re-read Rolo's response above as it is The Real Deal. I'll add that the clearer water sometimes requires that I keep my boat a good distance from my target. So there's less flipping & more pitching.( and sometimes it ends up being just plain casting) And there is no doubt that HARD BOTTOM areas within or at the edge of the grass beds, regardless of their size, are almost always like finding Gold. A-Jay

Master Bait'r seems to do nice work. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/155730-its-official-i-have-a-project-the-dream-12er/?p=1754409 A-Jay

I think you'll find out that you won't be in the water long before it inflates. And when it does, your trip to the surface will be surprising quick . . . A-Jay

I've had my share of successes. Most came after a fair amount of hard work, commitment & sacrifice. I'm optimistic regarding the possibility of more ahead. Though I don't really feel the need to rank them, working for and seeing a smile on my wife's face has to be really close to the top. Might seem like something less than epic to some, but to me it's just about everything. A-Jay

I've been doing some research on diving myself recently. (not for employment reasons but as part of a work project). Here's some basic info you might be interested in. Good Luck A-Jay http://dangerousjobsguide.com/home/dangerous-construction-jobs/commercial-divers

Happy Birthday Blue ~ Nice fish & you Know I like your Dog - A-Jay

Hello Hugh and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

We Man - me too We used to fill Buckets with those things - we were frozen to the bone but it was fun. A-Jay

I'm thinking about it myself - but I might really mix things up by adding a braid leader. A-Jay
