LOL - I know - I was just busting them a little. Clearly that event is all about form not time. Still a very Bizarre deal and I'm surprised it hasn't ended up on youtube yet. A-Jay

Practice make perfect ! btw - 86, did you improve your duck walk time on the second go around ? A-Jay

That's called "Living Right". A-Jay

I with you there - if you've ever participated in the 100 ft naked duck walk at MEPS along with a couple of hundred (also very naked) prospective enlistee's, the pretense of the op seems a little mundane. A-Jay

Here's my gps - it really works better a night. A-Jay

I've been there - it's a 1/2 mile . . . . . btw, the lobster pie is to die for. A-Jay

Yup - I grew up in MA and fished NH allot as well. Kibby was the name for just about anything that ate a worm hanging under a bobber. The one exception was a horn pout (?) - the spines on those buggers are Wicked Shaaarp. A-Jay

Congrats ! Any time you establish a new personel best, it's usually looks just like THAT. Stealing one from Mr Zona - That's a Slounch - Donkey. WTD Dwight. A-Jay

I Got it - needed to manage attachment in my profile (delete some) Thank you A-Jay

OK - I'm checking on this - don't exactly know how this is done. A-Jay

Yea - tried the resizing deal - I'm well within the maximum size - still a no go. A-Jay

What does "Used 10.11MB of your 9.77MB global upload quota" mean? I'm seeing this now before I try to load up a pic. Help me . . . . . please . . . . . ahhh....... A-Jay

I've purchased more tackle from here than I'd actually care to admit ~ A-Jay

Now that's what I call a Hiatus ! A-Jay

Reminds me of the story about two guys who were going from up on a bridge over the river. The one guys says "Man, this water's cold" ~ To which the other replies "Yea, and Deep too." A-Jay

Congratulations ~ ! What a Huge and Perfectly Gorgeous Trophy Bass. And on topwater to boot. Really Nice. A-Jay

I hope the ice melts here ASAP ! A-Jay

Congrats and good luck. You never know - it might be a bit of a fixer-upper or it could just be a jewel that needs a little TLC. Let us know A-Jay

Congrats ick ~ and welcome to BR. Stripers on 4lb line has got to be a blast. A-Jay

Hero to Zero, just that fast ~ Talk about learning the hard way ~ So the entire time this man was making arrangements with the authorities to authenticate his record catch, he knew he had no fishing license ? Insert "Dummy Cuff" here. A-Jay

Not me but this poor guy spills his beer And gets pegged with a perfectly good slice of pizza pie. A-Jay

I tried the treble hook trailer a few times attempting to get smb that were slashing at the bait but not really eating it. This did not improve the hook ups much if at all. Also fishing mostly open water or sparse cover, there was no need to snip off a hook point. I did see a tip where guys reverse the direction of the single trailer hook to acclimate the point down in an attempt to improve hook ups from fish striking the bait from below. (which is mostly my case). I have yet to try it but will implement it this year and see what happens. Definitely not a weedless method however. Good Luck A-Jay

"My Brand is better than Your Brand" threads are perhaps my least favorite topics on the entire BR fishing forum. Rarely if ever, do these threads add anything constructive to what is otherwise such an excellent site. I can't even call them entertaining as they routinely cause disharmony. Questions regarding certain brands / models are routinely answered with adequate information provided by members who have experience using the equipment. Posts offering the opportunity to debate brand quality, performance and dependability, elicit responses that appear defensive, misrepresented and hard to interpret; completely different from so many of the high quality responses elsewhere on the forum. Opinions regarding tackle inferiority are a waste of time. It doesn’t matter. This site is loaded with photos of amazing fish landed with every brand imaginable, How is that possible . . . . . . . . . . . . A-Jay
