Shoot, after the week Glenn had at fork last year,...he might charge you! lol ;D

Dom- Yes and it is going places. The clothing line I am going to be launching soon has a "BaitMonkey" series. A portion of the sales of this line will be going to the Providence animal shelter in honor of Raul's dedication to our furry family members. This is a shelter that really makes huge efforts to place their animals back into loving homes. Money is always tight over there. This is also where my cat came from. A few UPS part timers work there so I've gotten the inside scoop on their efforts both on and off the clock. I chose this agency because I can be assured the money will go to good use.

The trick with photobucket is to RENAME after resizing. (It's down in the lower left corner after you upload it)

So did we learn not to lip a trout? She's a purdy one. I was also hoping to wet a line for a rainbow or 2 before Feb 1 but that's when our season closes. From Feb 1 till opening day (2nd sat in April)

Even the ones we never get to hold can leave great memories Now you have history with the old girl,....bigger rod on the next trip

Car audio custom fabrication. I love fiberglass and motorized stuff. I like the challenges offered and the room for creativity. I don't do much of it anymore now that I have moved and don't have my garage. I do a few special side jobs for 2 local shops when asked to though. Strictly sub boxes and "special application speakers" (center channels, Tweets,etc) Below are some pics of boxes I've done and some "specialty" install stuff too. Jetta Audo quattro Civic (capacitor dish pan) PT Cruiser CES show car done by a local shop. I did the fit and construction on the sub box/amp rack, and built the center channel from scratch. center channel Bentley (I did the 2 sub boxes)

We do something very similar every yr. It's called "please pass the mojo" This was last yrs. A good read. MOJO This years is ready to go, I have a little twist coming It will be launched for it's journey soon.

Monkey got ya? BLAME the VET!! We are proud to announce this months elite member, the man responsible for coining the term "The Bait Monkey", our resident Veterinarian,.... RAUL!!!!! Aside from his knowledge base Raul is always helpful at directing our members who have tackle and gear questions. If it's out there, Raul probably has one. A tackle afficianado in the true sense. Raul has been here since the doors opened. A real family member in every sense of the word and we are very happy to have him here. With that,....here's Raul!! Hollllyyy cow !!!! man I 'm deeply honored for such distinction. General Name: Raul Gutierrez Constante Age: 43 City/State/Country: Leon de los Aldamas, Guanajuato, Mexico Occupation: I own a small veterinary clinic where I practice. Education: College Years fishing: 34 Personal Favorite food: Thermidor lobster Favorite movie: Star Wars Favorite quote: "He who can make to grow two plants of wheat where only one grew is more important to mankind than a general who has won a thousand battles" by Frederick the Great of Prussia. Fishing Preferred Style: Man I love crankbaiting and spinnerbaiting. The day usually starts with a topwater bait such as a Jitterbug, which depending on my mood ( not the mood of the fish ) I may even fish all day long Wink, then it 's crankbaiting time, with such a large collection of weapons I can slice the water from the surface almost all the way down to the bottom, first come the lipless cranks, then time for the shallow divers and so on, if the cover is so nasty that I can 't make a crankbait meander it 's way trough the limbs it 's time to grab a spinnerbait and work it through the nasty cover. Soft plastics & jigs are normally left for when the fish really don 't react to my offerings, even though I 'm really good with them they are not my favorites. Favorite bait: Rapala Shad Rap in any of it 's variations Favorite set up ( rod/reel ): rod.- GLoomis IMX CR723, reel: Team Daiwa TDZ 105H and Shimano Chronarch 50 MG ( Scorpion 1000 Mg ) Favorite Lake: Lake Zimapán in Central Mexico ( between the states of Queretaro and Hidalgo ) Favorite hobbies other than fishing: Gardening ( love to grow stuff ), show dogs, aquarium fish, 10 People you respect and/or admire: 1.- Jesus Christ, need to say more ? 2.- My wife Elizabeth to whom I've been married for the past 9 years; my sweetheart for almost six years ( 5 years, 8 months, 18 days to be exact ) man she must have really love me, what a patience to wait for a guy like me for that long. 3.- My mother Maritza Constante, tough woman with an iron fist when it comes to discipline. 4.- My father Raul Gutierrez senior ( rest in peace ), a man with the patience of a saint. 5.- My son Raul Gutierrez III ( my lil prince ) and my daughter Olga ( my little princess ), precious gifts that the All Mighty sent. 6.- DVM Jose de Jesus Alvarez Perez, a magnificent teacher and friend 7.- DVM Fernando Chaurand Ramos, one of the best friends I 've ever had 8.- LAE Pedro Rodriguez MacAllister, a long time friend and my fishing partner for decades 9.- DVM Victor Manuel Huacuja Galvan another magnificent teacher and friend. 10.- You guys rock ! Turn ons: Oh boy that 's a tough one, planning a trip with the friends or family it doesn 't matter if it takes weeks or minutes to plan it, planning is as fun as getting there. Seeing my son getting all heated up when he sees his dad 's fishing tackle ( future BaitMonkey victim ? ) . Turn offs: racism, really nasty weather that keeps me from gardening, fishing or showing dogs ( oh well, I can always catch fish at home playing video games .... ). Aspiration: to keep on teaching what I know, to keep on learning about what I don 't know. Essay: I was born in Mexico City back in 1964, lived and grew there until I was 16 years old, attended to The Columbia Gem School from kindergarten up to high school, in Mexico school is divided differently than in the States when it comes to High School, the first three years are called "Secundaria" the next three years are called PreParatoria, I finished secundaria in 1980. My dad had several important jobs in Mexico 's government for several years because of his studies as Licenciado en Ciencias Políticas ( Political Sciences ), he retired in 1980 and since his family lived where we live now, being a smaller city ( we were tired of Mexico City ) my mom and dad decided that the best place to raise two teenagers ( my sister and myself ) was here where in those days everybody knew my family. I studied preparatoria at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey ( ITESM ) and later continued to study Economy for 2 years. Not a great student I may say which to a certain point made my dad sad, he excelled in everything he did so I felt like I was a kind of disappointment to him; also had bad companies, drank all the booze I could get at parties but my mom had faith in me and that iron fist of her took care of straightening me up. One day while I was at class it hit me, I thought: "what in heaven 's name I am doing here ? I don 't even like what I 'm studying", that day I spoke to my father and told him how I felt, he just calmly looked at at me and asked: " so what do you want to study ? " , Veterinary Medicine I replied without thinking it too much, the only thing my father said was: "so be it". I attented to vet school for the next five years, graduated 2nd in my generation, wrote my thesis on bass culture ( which took me 5 five years ) and presented my professional exam, Magna Cum Laude boys and honorific mention for my trajectory as a student. I began my practice while I was preparing my thesis but not as a veterinarian but as an aquarist with an aquarium store, I did very well until the dreaded day in December of 1994 when Mexico had one of the worst financial breakdowns in the history of the country, something that destroyed my business that I had worked so hard to make it grow. The good thing was that during those years I purchased most of the equipment that now I use in my practice, but I also won another thing, I met the woman who was going to become my wife, funny, she worked for me. The Lord has been good to me. That 's my story Bless y 'all.

Version 7d Dam that hurts,...that's gonna blister....... Anyone have any aloe? ;D

Tongue on floor. I wish I could afford the fuel never mind a diamond like that....

Dead link :-/

Groundhog says,.....your lakes are still frozen,...keep pouring......

I agree, little outboards sip the fuel and keep the game affordable yet still accessible

Any other salty dogs out there? I'm watching Capt Norm , ....what a class act. He really exemplifies what it means to be a Captain. Clear, calm, and a leader. I was fortunate to have someone very similar to Capt Norm in my life for many years. People with that kind of character can be addictive. I always felt I was in the presence of greatness when around my mentor. Anyone else have the honor of learning under a true old salt?

Dude,...too funny. Gidget is taking me out next weekend but I am driving (Robert's Hummer). I asked if she still had a booster seat from when her boys were younger,lol. (this was like,....yesterday,lol) Seriously though, we are in the same boat, different ends. I bet we both have just as hard of a time finding our sizes. I mean,...how many stores stock shoes up to that size? People like us keep "special orders" alive,lol

Same here, that's how we got our name. The "low" in LBH used to be spelled "Lowe" after the boat we used. We've won saltwater tournaments in a 14 ft mod V It's not the car,, it's the driver. Also, look for one of the trailer that has a hinged tongue. You just pull the pin and the entire front arm of the trailer folds down along the side. Robert, do you have a pic of your boat in the garage w/ the trailer minimized?

trust me,..he's very rarely "in". He runs around nonstop, all day. Looks good Mike, what time do you want me down there? Today, Mike and his crew will be pouring Merthiolate worms to be pkg'd and distributed at an outdoors show. They are to promote breast cancer awareness and a special "thank you" needs to go out to Del-mart for stepping up with a huge donation towards the effort. Report to follow

Had I known it was a contest I would have stretched more...... : That's gotta be kinda funny looking though, 6'8", 220 lbs and a size 6.5 shoe,......poor dude..... ;D

There's a pic for the office wall,...holy healthy!! Toms a class act, sounds like you guys had a fantastic time. Nice job on both sides

You got me by 1/2 an inch. Add my years of wisdom and your inexperience and there's clearly no match. I remember when I was finally a 1/2 inch taller than my dad and I thought I was bigger. He resolved that myth real quick,lol.

Yea baby,lol,...how many times have we had this talk? Good luck with whatever you go with.

This is going nowhere good. Moving on...
