Yup - I believe Jones showed some respect for Machida by starting out slow as not to get caught with something early. But after Machida punched Jones in the squash a few times Jones went to a more offensive posture and the fight was over. I do agree that Jones relative inexperience showed itself a bit in this one. And if there is a fighter out there who can get to Jones's legs without getting killed, a challenger might have a somewhat better chance of at least evening the playing field a bit. It's scarey to think about, but Jones could get even better if he could fight a guy that could match up better against him, but is there Anyone who can ? A-Jay

Jones has chocked out the Karate Kid. A-Jay

As a fan of the lipless floater, you might also like the Sebile Flatt Shad SU - this model Suspends at @ 2 feet deep and will not sink any further. I tried unsuccessfully to post several links to this bait ? ? A-Jay

Nice Bass ~ That ought to get everyones juices flowing ! A-Jay

The closer this fight gets - the more I agree with this. I've been looking back at Machida's more recent bouts. I think he may actually be seriously killed in this fight. A-Jay

- I'm all set with a name. Thank you for setting this up. A-Jay btw - MOE RON, tard, and rocket surgeon, are these terms of endearment ?

This site is often referred to as a "Family" This post supports that perception. Exceptional. A-Jay

X2 - she certainly makes it look Easy. Very pleasant performances by everyone. A-Jay

I'm right handed so I hold them with my left and Fillet with my right ~ A-Jay

Should be a an entertaining event with interesting and competitive fights all over the fight card. But Jones is a freak and until he fights someone that can get to Jones's legs and slow down his attack (perhaps put him more on the defensive) while avoiding all the lethal weapons the Champ possesses, I don't see the belt changing hands.

Very Nice ~ That happens here occasionally in the spring and fall. Sometimes I'll throw a smaller jerkbait and get some decent trout. Were you throwing baits that targeted bass and catching the trout as by catch or were you tossing trout type baits ? And what lures were they ? A-Jay

Yes Sir ~ that Blue Craw will be added to the arsenal. Blue seems to be a good sunny day color for me. A-Jay

Very nice write up and a great Looking Bass ! And it sounds like Sawyer will be looking for some Sponsorship soon . . . A-Jay

I haven't put up the gear just yet, so there is a chance. But the lakes here will start to freeze over very soon. The cakes were quite tasty - I went with the beer batter. A-Jay

Good for you. I used this to help me quit ~ Believe in yourself Control your mind Mentally turn away from your failures Make right decisions Know yourself Never accept defeat You must see it in your mind's eye, before you can believe it Accept your great future Stay Strong. A-Jay

Welcome to BR Paul. Cool video. I have to say though - a fall crankbait bite in 58 degree water, at least in this neck of the woods, is Always a PRE - Turnover period. No doubt it's a great time to fish as the bass are eager to chase down the bait and hammer it. The Turnover here is characterized by colder dirty water and the fish are rarely as charged up about eating especially a fast moving horizontal presentation. I really have to force feed them with something low and slow to get them to bite at all. Those surely are some hefty smallies either way. A-Jay

Perhaps he could "see" you, on account of dem Camouflage shorts and all. A-Jay

Thanks All - And RW - That Roadtrip might be in the cards for me in the spring. I'll be looking for those detail, hoping for the right set of circumstances and of course reasonable weather . . . A-Jay

The wind finally let up so I hit the lake for what would most likely be the dreaded Last Trip. Water temps were high 30's. First stop was a "hole" with some wood in 35 fow. Hummingbird revealed that there were several fish on it. Turned out to be brown fatties. First few casts they gobbled up the swimbait but then shut off. This was the coldest water I've caught bass with a swimbait. But, it was over just as quickly as it started. I managed to stay unfrozed until dark and took home a few "Eater" sized walleyes for diner. It's been a decent season. I hope this winter isn't too long. A-Jay

Yea, me too and btw, adding a scent to that bait would be redundant. A-Jay

Great looking fish Dwight. And that Smallie looks THICK ! A-Jay

I was referring to the last game as The Super Bowl. I AM a Pats Fan and that was such a magic season. But that ONE Loss - was B R U T A L. A-Jay
