Definitely progress in the right direction! Keep at it, you're making a difference!

Thanks! That was my intent.

This is good news. Hoping it continues, and Mead/Powell get some much needed rain as well.

Aaron has NOT passed away! I am friends with Aaron and his family, and can attest Aaron is still with us. Whomever started the false rumor on social media should be fired! They did it just to capitalize on Aaron's condition and get clicks. Just unbelievable. I REFUSE to make a buck off Aaron's condition, and anyone that tries is lower than dirt! Have some respect people!

Pro bass fisherman Kyle Welcher tells you how he fishes a T-Rigged creature bait during the fall. Some good tips in here guys!

Just a quick note. This thread is about Aaron.

Had a few folks PM me asking if this is really legit, and YES! It is legit! We really are giving away this great reel outfitted with Boca Bearings.

fyi - I have a full-time job (not this site - but an actual 9-5 corporate job). THEN I come home to work on this site at night...and weekends....every day....for 25 years. Why do I do it? Because I love to help others. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. It's fun. The sponsor deals are for paying the BassResource bills. I get a small supplemental income after the bills are paid - certainly not enough to live off of. LOL!

It's not looking good.

I'm sure there's a few folks here that can help you out.

Plenty of info about them on these forums, just search their name (upper right). Suffice to say, we're not going down that path again. And scene....

Lew's and Strike King are under the same roof. That happened a couple of years ago. On the subject of employees and mergers/acquisitions - it's all about the $$ - particularly if it's a publicly traded company. I was with T-Mobile when the Sprint merger happened. There was a LOT of talk about "We need everyone! We're not letting anyone go! We're actually hiring more people! We can't afford to lose anyone!" Even the CEO John Leger went to congress - on record - to say the merger would create jobs and not lose any (In a 2019 blog post still available on the company’s website, former T-Mobile CEO John Legere proclaimed that the merger would be “jobs-positive from day one and every day thereafter.” “That’s not just a commitment, it’s a fact,” Legere said.) Fact: T-Mobile laid off 5,000 employees after the merger, myself included - after spending nearly 19 years there. In fact, with few exceptions, they laid off everyone below a director level that had more than 12 years tenure at T-Mobile or Sprint. Of course, the higher-ups saved themselves from the bloodbath. Meanwhile, John Leger walked away with a 137 million dollar bonus for making the merger happen. So...I don't give a crap whatever promises are made during an acquisition or merger - it's just empty promises. Employees will get laid off - in massive numbers - regardless of anything anyone says to the contrary. They'll tell you anything to keep you around as long as they need you, and then toss you to the ditch the moment you're considered a liability to the bottom line. Can't say that's the same scenario for Yamamoto, because it's not a mega-merger; but rather an acquisition from a parent company. So there aren't any redundant jobs that need to be pruned/consolidated. Best case scenario is that the new parent company dumps $$ into GYCB to expand and grow the company. And the folks with tenure get promoted into leadership roles as new hires are added to the payroll. Good luck guys! P.S. As for me, I'm doing fine. Got a healthy severance package and found another job that pays the highest ever in my life. So things worked out in the end. I'm just P.O'd about being deliberately deceived, and seeing the CEO outright lie to congress in order to get his payout, without facing any consequences for his actions.

Nice! I'm tellin' ya, it's candy! It's one of my newest go-to rigs. Anyone that thinks it's the same as an unpegged T-Rig....hasn't tried it....yet.
