Jack, Sorry again for your loss. I hope it's not out of line to post the following poem that someone was kind enough to share with me when my brother and father died. Do not stand at my grave and forever weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and forever cry. I am not there. I did not die. ...Melinda Sue Pacho Let us know if you need anything Jack. Paul

Hey alabamabassmaster, You wouldn't be looking to adopt a kid are you? I know a slightly immature 40 year old guy who doesn't eat much and is potty trained. He's also got a strong back and a weak mind. Lemme know....

Nice boat for a nice price. Good luck.

That first ride in your own boat (regardless of the size) is very exciting. Hope you catch a big one in it.

Sam, you are a smart man. Good for you slayer. Get them kids out from in front of the t.v.

Here's my fishing/grass cutting/beach hat. Comfort band makes it fit snug on my head but my scalp still breathes. Dome stays pretty cool.

Nice fish buddy!

Very cool indeed. Glad you were there to see his PB.

Congrats man. Sounds like this is the sign of things to come.

Ouch! Man I mean no disrespect but both of you DID get kitchen passes before you planned this right? Sounds like the work of a jealous wife. 9. When the weather man said 20% chance of thunderstorms he meant 20% all day but it's really 100% once you think you're getting that boat out on the lake. And it won't start until you launch. :'(

X2.

mattlures has a line for around that price. Sell that one from BPS on Ebay for like $10.00 or so. Get something back for it.

Nice fish. Lures in trees huh? Way to spank the bait monkey.

That sure is a pig. Nice coloring too Paul. Congrats on the catch and on you're having fun out there.

Thanks Paul. Nice additions guys; Sam those were awesome. 8. If you take one of your kids fishing with you, forget about fishing yourself. As soon as you cast they'll either......get a snag, hook a fish (woot!) or ask you to change their lures.

Search youtube.com for the videos. Everything is posted there.

Same boat, same motor. Georgia requires it so I picked up a registration form from Wally World and mailed the DNR a $15.00 check for 3 years. Just keep the registration stub in your tackle box. REALLY cheap if you ask me.

7. If you throw a lure into a tree, lose a PB, pull any number of boneheaded moves and mistakenly curse out loud, a nun and/or pastor will be walking the shoreline within earshot of you. They will shake their head ruefully at you and let you know they're praying for you.

JF, I guess you're not getting where I was going with this thread. : I wasn't posting those issues for you to try and solve. You do know what 'Murphy's Law' is right? Anything that can go wrong, will. You know like dropping a piece of toast? It ALWAYS lands butter side down. Let me guess though, you're able to catch it while holding a cup of coffee and not spill a drop. Just add bad luck that happens to you during fishing trips.

OUTFISHED BAIT?!!!!! Are they better than banjo-minnows? Seriously though, the tone of some of these posts are some of the harshest I've seen here.

6. You're running late to get out the door and on the road to the lake. Your buddy is waiting patiently for you to get your gear and get in. You pick up your tackle box only to realize too late, that the lid was open and your tackle is strewn out everywhere. Quickly you clean it up and avoid eye contact with your bud and hop in the car. 10 minutes down the road you have to tell him that either forgot your rods or have to take a leak. Either way, you may be on your last trip with him.

Nice fish; I agree it's about 2-2.5 lbs. Buy a digital scale as the spring scale I have is off from about 7 lbs and under.

Getting back into fishing and going quite a bit has made me realize there are certain things that can AND will happen to you while fishing. 1. If you see a HUGE LMB cruising (either from shore or the boat) when you reach down to grab one of your rods, you'll find they're all tangled up and will require 10 minutes to seperate them. 2. You cast too far and get hung up in a tree. It will be just out of your reach (REALLY bad cast) and the line will break off. The lure will hang there swaying slowly, all the while mocking you and your feeble casting skills. 3. You see a bass boiling on the other side of a cove and since nothing's biting you where you're at, you decide to head over and teach that bass a lesson. No sooner than you get over there and cast a couple when you see several fish boiling at the spot you just were. 4. You start getting hits on your favorite, most expensive lure. Excited, you make the cast of your lifetime only you failed to realize the line got wrapped around the tip. You watch in horror as the line snaps and your high dollar lure goes halfway across the lake, and just when it hits the water, something huge smashes it. 5. You get home from a marathon session of fishing, dream of just showering, drinking a cold beverage when the wife let's you know you now have dinner plans for the evening.

I use that one myself. The 'bird's eye view' is AWESOME! If you want to print a map off hit the 'print screen' key then open up Photoshop or other photo editing program. Open up a new document and go up to 'Edit' menu and select 'paste'. This will paste the map onto the new document and you can crop it, zoom, etc... then print it. On the pond I want to fish, it clearly shows a submerged creek channel.

;D I like it.
