As mentioned - half time shows have traditionally been very disappointing. I can't actually remember one that was remotely entertaining. I have enjoyed a few Puppy Bowls though ~ A-Jay http://animal.discovery.com/tv/puppy-bowl/

Nice Eye ! That's Fatty for sure ~ A-Jay

She's a Beauty ! Nice Job ~ A-Jay

A Friday Off AND a Big Fat Pig of a Bass ! Congrats ~ A-Jay

Great Bass ! That video is a keeper for life. Congratulations ~ A-Jay

Holy Smokes Dwight, you are a patient man and seem to be taking all that is stride. The payoff, however, looks pretty good ~ really nice smallies. WTG ~ A-Jay

This is Big News ! Nothing like having a multiple Classic and Angler of the Year winner providing us with timely information. I'm looking forward to it. A-Jay

You Must go through the hard times - that's what makes a Championship that much Sweeter. I'm not convinced that the Lions are here to stay but there making it allot easier to be a fan this season. As a Long time Pats fan, there were seasons of only 1 or 2 wins. They were back a ways, but I remember them quite well. The Pats haven't won it all in a bit but they've been in contention almost every year. I'd like to see the Lions go all the way, but when you haven't been close in a while it's tough to do. A-Jay

Congrats on a memorable outing. Those are two dynamite Brown Bass. Based on your attire, looks like the frost is already on the Pumpkin over in WI. btw - that fish in your Avatar is a SLOB ! A-Jay

Now that's a Nice Handicap ! Congrats A-Jay

Nice - These guys flush a few now and then. Regardless of how many times it happens - I almost poop my pants, everytime ! A-Jay

Thanks - that pike did most of his battling in the water (and in the net) and was pretty tuckered out after a fairly lengthy battle on 6lb line. By photo time he gassed; he did however recover boat-side to swim off and fight another day. A-Jay

LOL - Timing is Everything Dwight. A-Jay

I was wondering who else hits the road with their canine companion ? The puppies take us running (my wife and I) 3 to 4 days a week; in the morning mostly. We really enjoy it. As for the pups, well you know how puppies are, they just pull All Day Long ! A-Jay

Congrats - That's a couple of great bass right there. And that looked like a really nice day to be on the water. A-Jay

Turns out that's the largest pike either of us have taken on that lake - it was 31". But her PB pike was a 34" beast taken from a lake in the next county. A-Jay

Thanks - As the dedicated guide for the day, I was hoping to put my wife on a trophy fish. That lake has produced a couple of plus sized smb in recent years (especially for Lynn) and we thought the conditions were favorable for at least one more. We didn't really count fish but the net stayed wet most of the afternoon. I will admit to tossing out a big swimbait a few times, but I was quickly reminded of my guiding duties; also I think the word "poacher" might have been uttered in my direction, so that didn't last long. We didn't get into the bigger fish we were hoping for, but The Company was the Best. A-Jay

Came across this - looks like fun for the surfer and for any large nocturnal aquatic species of the area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqfWeV6MBZ0&feature=player_embedded#! A-Jay

Congrats Bud - I actually think you're pretty funny and I've enjoyed many of your posts. A-Jay

LOL - I'm betting he's pretty "Geeked" most all the time. A-Jay

Thanks Dwight, but Oh Man - why did you have to go there. A-Jay

Thanks for the info and the links J. I have a small Boga that I used back when I fished in the Briney Sea. I may start carrying that. A-Jay

Thanks J. OK - I hear you on the "cradle". As only a few ever make it to the grease, I should and will utilize that technique in the future. Speaking of a cradle, I sure would like to find a way to use one when fishing alone to harness the larger fish. Not allot of room in the Old Town for a massive net. A cradle would store much easier. Both the fish and I would appreciate a more secure method of holding and subduing these guys even if it is only temporarily. A-Jay

Sounds like one heck of a trip. You certainly earned that nice fat bass ! A-Jay
