I'm all flourocarbon except for mono on topwater, and carolina-rig leaders. and a few other situations where say i wanna keep my spinnerbait, crankbait, jerkbait higher in the water column then ill use mono for that also. as far as line i use P-Line flourocarbon except for on my drop-shot setup ill go with trilene 100% flouro. and mono i stick with stren original (purple box)

CURADO E7 the best by far light as can be cast like butter and you cant beat the price

Id like to get more knowledgeable on line selection as far as what type of line to use for certain techniques. right now im preety much flourocarbon on everything except for topwater

For instance do you use a higher speed reel for cranking and a lower speed reel for texas rigging. i ask because i just got 3 new curado E and two of them are high 7.0:1 ratio and the other is a slow 5.0:1 ratio. HOW SHOULD I USE THEM??

ya was an awesome trip with an awesome guy. definatly will be doing it again soon i hope. defineatly owe thanks to this awesome website for giving people the opportunity to get to know each other in a bass fishing sense.

I would have to say someone who has a vast knowledge of bassin not nessecarily someone who can be succesfull wherever they go. for instance im in the army and stationed in ft bliss texas and there is no good bassin around here i only have one local pond that ive managed to be succesfull in. I dont own a top dollar boat with all the gagets. but if i had a john boat and a lake map i believe i could be succesfull knowing that i understand bass transitions, seasonall patterns, habitats and so on. Now im not saying that id get there and just slam them but id feel comfortable being on a new body of water.

I guess everyone missed the whole part about how they have all changed theyre live's to revolve around dottie right. theyre was nothing wrong with what they did at all. i mean come on they have watched this fish and studied it for quite some time and they knew it was gonna be a beast so they did everything possible to catch her and they were honest when they knew they had foul hooked her they could have easily kept that a secret those guys are definitly class act BIG ***ATICS. and sorry real cowboy id have to disagree theyre is no way the next record will come from lake fork, id say falcon lake before lake fork, but there two possibiliteis that the NEXT record will come from are lake castiac or lake dixon they regualarly pull 15+ pounders out these bass just devour 10-12'' rainbow trout

theyre probably out fishing, haha

are they just trunks standing or is there branches?

Was wondering what you guys would clasify this water as, dingy, stained, murky. Also what color/patterns would you use.

my local 48 acre lake has these in it. and i dont know what they do. what do they do and do they have any benefits as far as keeping fish near by. its the sprinkler thing in the back round

? is do these types of docks hold bass they float in about 5 feet of water.

what do you guys mean by staying close to the sprinklers?. is it creating more oxygen near by or what. never thought of fishing it im really just a structer fisher.

that frog slammed my jay yelas pro model frog

ya when i lived in california i loved fishing senkos all day in the tules. ya there is some big bass in this lake heres on that i caught and i know there are bigger ones hope to get into them this year.

well went out this afternoon and caught seven bass caught one nice one so here's a pic. o ya and i love the rage craws theyre awsome.

its simple man i prefer zoom super fluke's all you do is cast it to your desired spot and let it fall to the bottom. also what i like to do is give it a few twitches, not jerks, twitches. i find that dead sticking really works when the bass are just not in an aggressive mood its an easy meal.
