And the painfully insane truth about this man's skills is . . . . .. There is a very high probability that he dink-dropped several fish the same size or perhaps a little smaller than the two he's holding a few moments before that shot. A-Jay

Very nicely put When it's right - you just know it. A-Jay

I do not know the make & model of the rings / hooks used but it's decent. I'm a little over the top about terminal tackle and change it all out anyway. A-Jay

This is a Big Thank You to FishinDaddy for organizing this years Event. Happy Holidays A-Jay

Welcome to BR Tim ~ A-Jay

Congrats to you Brian - A Real Mutant if ever I saw one. A-Jay

I had a feeling that these might draw a little interest, so I was ready for you guys. I've purchased several baits from this vendor and have never been disappointed. The Owner / Operator Casey Sobczak also does some killer custom painting as well. Here ya go - A-Jay http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-6th-Sense-Crush-50X-Crankbait-Lure-Dives-2-5ft-1-5-met-/350869493125?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b1739585

I haven't fished them all so I can't tell you if these are The Best; but they work for me. A-Jay

The original Schwetty Balls skit with Alec Baldwin is the King. Can't post a link, you'll have to look that one up for yourself. A-Jay

Not knowing your location will make answering any of your question impossible. I'd advise you to locate the website of your home state (or the state of the waters you plan to fish in) and read the boating rules and regulations. This should answer the questions you've asked here along with many more. I live in Michigan, the two best resources regarding this stuff for me are the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Michigan Secretary of State (SOS). Good Luck A-Jay

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. A-Jay

Thanks Shane ~ The Lobster is a bit longer and a bigger profile but I fish it all season and catch just as many nice brown bass as green. Also the base of the claws on the Lobster are thicker than the Craw claws so they seem to last a little longer. Although I'll fish a one-Arm Bandit all day; especially if it's my last one. A-Jay

Hello Chris and welcome to BR ~ A-Jay

Welcome Fellow Vet to BR ~ Thank you for your service. A-Jay

Hey Stitch, St Croix recommends to use a quality wax on the entire rod but particularly the male ferrule ends. I used a standard auto wax before the trip and after 5 days & thousands of casts, the rod sections barely moved at all. A-Jay

SK Rage Tail Lobster ~ All Day & Every Day. A-Jay

Not actually my biggest but definitely one of my favorites. A-Jay

I'm sorry Brian, but I don't think I can be of any assistance here. Discombobulated and / or Gumby Advice posts are what I gravitate towards . . . . A-Jay

Perhaps it was stolen - like having your Identity swiped. Next thing you know some wannabe fraud will be putting up partially coherent posts that look some what familiar . . . .. . . A-Jay

OUCH ~ Yup - been there Brother. Lynn & I call that "Full Contact Dog Ownership" Can't tell you the number of times I've taken a big head to the squash or had my teeth put through my lip for me; taken a couple of decent Mike Tyson like shots to the jaw too. I may never learn "not to go over the dog" but I love to play with them and they just loose their minds too. It's fun but you've got to be willing to endure the re-hab. You've got me on the black eye though - how about posting up a shot of that Badge of Courage ? Ah - the pleasure of large breed dogs. A-Jay
