That's Classic - you'll be hearing about that one for a while. AJay

Dude - you're a tough man to impress . . . . . I'd drive one (in my dreams) - but it better come with a bail bondsman. A-Jay

I remember the TV show - it was a little kooky. A-Jay

Thank you Sir ! You've posted up so many really beauties - but that one in particular is just INSANE ! After last nights Dumping of snow - I really needed that. btw - if I ever actually see that darn ground hog - I Will indeed give him a very Dirty look. A-Jay

And you are clearly a jerkbait NINJA - Teach me Master - for I am willing to learn . . . . . . A-Jay

I have to agree with you. Burning a spinnerbait is really tough to beat ~ because the strike is just so darn violent. The all white double willow bladed bait is my weapon of choice here. But a wide open top water bite does come is at a very close second. The swish - swish - swish side to side glide of a big Zara Spook followed by that inevitable explosion as a big fat brown bass climbs all over it - well that's a heart stopper. A-Jay

The Old Double Whammy - has to be The All Time BEST name for a lure. A-Jay

- Learn to fish at night - This was Best And Worst piece of Fishing Advice I Ever received - thanks Dad. :) A-Jay

Did you still have your breakfast stuck to your face ? A-Jay

Very Stout ! Congrats. A-Jay

Well sounds like you're making some progress. Puking 1 mile into your run test is not good. Could be you made poor choices for your pre-test meal or it could be you started out too fast. It certainly indicates that for whatever reason, you still have allot of work to do. At this point you should be running this test every other day; The whole test, every other day. Then come test day, it just another training day - you'll pass it no problem. Participating in any training other than the 3 disciplines required for the test at this point will be counterproductive. 16:36 is 60% at your age group. 13:38 is 100%. As a side note, next time you get a "side stitches like a mother bleeper" KEEP RUNNING ! No one's ever died from it. You know the saying "Pain is just weakness leaving your body" Keep at it - It's all about willingness - what are you willing to endure to succeed ? A-Jay

LOL ! btw - Thanks - for I am suddenly saddend by an image I wish I didn't have . . . A-Jay

I'm an Old Town 150ss owner and big fan as well. I fish from it all day - standing, so stability is not an issue. This model has a 40" beam. A-Jay

Sizes 1, 2, and 4 should cover it., and you might not need the 4's. 1's for the series 6's, 2's for the lipless baits and 4's if the baits are on the smaller side. Some guys prefer a smaller size on the back. If that's the case, hang the 1's in front and the 2's in back and on the lipless baits, hang the 2's in front and the 4's in back. Good Luck A-Jay

Yup - And despite knowing better - back in the day, I'd been blinded by "Striped Bass Fever" and ended up in at least two situations that I had no right to expect to escape from unharmed. Some how I did and it kept me motivated to be there for others when I could. A-Jay

Well said - and propably a better way to say it. A-Jay

LOL ! Yes. A-Jay

I do - I also use the Micro supreme knottable stuff but it's a little pricey. A-Jay

Thank you very much Steve for posting that interview here on BR, I really enjoyed it. A-Jay

They do look like pike food don't they - J, if you could tell me of a color that isn't pike food but still catches bass, I would really appreciate it. A-Jay

It probably doesn't make that much of a difference and I'll never know if a bass even sees these baits the same way they look to me, but I really like fishing them and do believe that some days it might make a difference. Any thoughts ? btw, this is not my work. A-Jay

People who ignore "That exact Feeling" often times contribute to natural selection as well as providing job security for me for about 3 decades. A-Jay

I do this All the time - it works great to get a tailgater off your bumper. Often times the "tailgater" gives me the dirty look or even the "stink eye" - how dare I hit the brakes like that - didn't I see that they were so close to me - I'm not supposed to do that - At least half the time - they're on the phone and not paying attention to the fact they they are 3 feet off my bumper - I love watching the front end of their vehicle dive to the pavement as they hit the brakes. Bottom line is, I want these "drivers" in front of me, not behind me. A-Jay

I don't think it comes in your size ~ A-Jay

Congratulations ~ Chris Lane The 2012 Bassmaster Classic Champion! And I'm not certain, but I think he did a "Tebow" after he received the trophy. A-Jay
