Man, what I wouldn't give! I have to work too hard to find a decent place to catch 3 lb fish. Nice place.

The new wife and I went to Daytona Beach, Florida. We had a blast!! We went to St. Augustine to climb the lighthouse, and to the San Sebastian Winery. I went surfing for the first time in my life, and was not so good. I could stand up for a second or two. We also went fishing in the Halifax River (saltwater). It was fun, but I didn't catch a thing. We went to the beach, and I got plenty sunburnt, but that's alright. I'm not looking forward to waking up at 4:15 tomorrow morning to go to work.

My thing, along with fishing, is running. I'm 20, and I've already completed 6 marathons, while qualifying for the Boston Marathon twice. When I'm not running, I'm either fishing or reading this forum. The wife makes me work on the weekdays.

I love it when I'm pulling some sort of plastic with my rod tip, then it feels like it's stuck on a log. Then the line starts moving, it's the best!

I'd say it's a record. (Just don't try to pull the thing out of its mouth)

I really like the picture too. It makes it a lot more unique. Oh...I almost forgot...nice fish.

I like a few, all of which are texas rigged: Brush Hog: Weightless, let it fall for a few seconds, then pull it up, reel in the slack, let it fall, on and on. Fluke: Weightless, twitch and jerk it on the retrieve.

Kid Rock is kind of a creep. I like his music, but he is just weird.

I like the idea of catching something off of your own ideas.

I had no idea that there was so much to it. I was doing what many of you guessed: tossing a crank off of the back of the boat. I am just amazed at all of the details that go into trolling. Thanks for all of the insight guys.

Wow. I never had any idea that there was so much to it. (Usually I just toss a rat-l-trap on there and start chuggin to the next spot). I am amazed to find that there is a good deal more science in in than I thought.

What do you guys think about trolling? It takes absolutely no skill, but on a very slow day, it seems like the thing to do when moving from one spot to another. Any opinions?

I think they tried to do something like Forrest Gump. You know, follow someone's life, in stages, then catch up to real time. Really clever actually, but it could have used a better storyline.

Yeah, it's never going to happen. I'm going to move to, I don't know, Colorado, and catch the Colorado state record bass. It has to be cake compared to Georgia.

No kidding man, I can't wait to get a little jon at least!
