Feel kind of the same way. I've been using my depthfinder (Eagle Fishfinder 320) for approx 3 weeks now and am primarily using it to determine what the bottom looks like. When I turn off the Fish ID, I see no arches whatsoever and it seems like there's alot of clutter with Fish ID off. The lake I fish is kind of shallow; 15' at deepest so this may be affecting it. It seems to display stuff pretty quick; troll slowly over a spot notice a hump and drop anchor to compare. Guess I need to keep messing with it.

Nice fish bud. Shame about that other one though but you DO know where you hooked her. Log that in the memory banks.

I agree with everything Brokeju said. Plugging the numbers in for the bass in my avatar @ 24.5 and say 20" for girth (my hand length is 8" long and probably still wouldn't cover the side of that honey) and that calculator comes out to 11.7 pounds. Now I weighed it on a spring scale from Wally World at 8.1 pounds and it may be off a little but 3 lbs?! Nope. You can see my fish is really healthy. Given your measurements I'd guess about 9 lbs maybe 10 lbs. Nice catch. Go buy a cellphone with a camera on it so you can at least have a camera in your pocket all the time.

Pretty cool sounding. I haven't given much thought to eating any bass out of my subdivision lake. I'm concerned a couple of the homes septic drain field may be close to the lake or the chemicals they spray on their lawn may be entering the water. Guess the fish would taste kind of crappy. :

I bought the colors that Dick's Sporting goods had which was white w/gold blade and chartruese w/gold blade.

X2; I'm amazed at the performance of this buzzbait. Coming from a cheap son of a gun like me, SPEND extra on Cavitron.

I purchased the 9' Pond Prowler off of Craigslist for just the same reasons you listed. It's perfect for mid to small lakes & ponds with a trolling motor. It's a little bulky to manage by yourself out of the back of a pickup but not too bad. My subdivision doesn't allow boats in the driveway so I just lean this thing upright against a tree out of sight. Look around on Craiglist in your area first; lots of people selling boats right now. for them for you.

Hmmm, luckiest day of the year you say? Think I'll go trolling when I get home from work and if nothing's biting, I'll go fishing.

Nice uns

Nice one. I think #11 and #10 are the best though. Another one given LBH has his merchandise up and running might be "You want me to wear a $&ing shirt that says Low Budget Hooker, why?!!" Ms. Eddie Munster

Congrats!

I, too feel sorry for the Packers; Favre has behaved like a spoiled little kid or an attention monger. Last year, he wouldn't commit to playing until way late in the year. This time the Packers asked him if he was sure he wanted to retire then they drafted accordingly. Then after they waste the draft picks and move on, he selfishly decides he wants to still play. This guy has damaged his integrity in my opinion and alot of people feel the same way. > Sure the Jets are better off with him.........this year. He'll pull the same crap on them next year. At least the Jets might stand a chance against the Pats now.

Wow, rough crowd. With a name like bass brat whatchu expect? :

Wow, she's 5 years older than you? Cougar alert! Seriously, tell her you didn't remember it and that you agree in the future that you BOTH will discuss purchases bigger than $100.00 with each other. If you don't say we you're setting a horrible precidence (sp?) for the future for her to walk ALL over you.

Nice fish; so where is this secret spot at? :

Agree with fluke and muddy. A check for shopping (while you go carry the bags of stuff) will cure that AND she's not your mother. You don't need permission but as a couple you set a limit of spending without checking with the other. My wife and I agreed that ours is $50.00 Anything over that warrants a call which usually answered with an 'okay, if you want/need it'. I'm cheap when it comes to me and my wife knows it. My recent purchase of the lil' boat with all the trimmings was given her blessing long before I bought it. Actually she prodded me to buy it. Love that woman. 8-)

Now THAT's a good one. Simple yet funny. Definitely on the short list. 8-)

Actually in the case of the Revolutionary war WE were the farmer and the Brits were the homeowners. THEY were the ones who didn't realize what position they were in.

That WAS funny.

You'll be lucky if you're able to LIVE trap them. I had no luck with the Hav-a-heart trap and ended up going to Lowe's to buy actual rat traps. The big ones with yellow bait pad worked well with peanut butter (just a peanut size chuck). I ended up taking out 13 in the attic. Somehow the previous owners forgot to tell me they had a squirrel problem. :

X2. Fish jumpin out of the water at night to cool down to 88 degrees.

On a charter down in the gulf, my wife kicked everyone's butt. She caught 6 red snapper (nearly the biggest too) a 13 lb grouper, a 3 ft kingfish and had a 5 ft kingfish hooked but someone grabbed the line and it broke (not me )

Prime example of the need to pick and choose your battles. Realize who has the power in the situation and sometimes you can only make things worse. ;D

Great story. ;D

Well said. X2
