What a toad! Thanks for sharing!

Two things: 1. We have A TON of information on this site about proper handling for catch and release. 2. Too much catch and release is a bad thing, and will harm the fishery just as much as too much harvesting. Limits are there for a reason - as a management tool. They don't work if people don't harvest every now and then. Hunters understand this concept moreso than bass anglers. We also have a TON of information about pond and lake management using limits and harvesting.

Yes. Wright McGill stepped up to the plate and made a great deal with Tackle The Storm. Ya, they're giving it to them at a loss, but it's a great cause. Sometimes it's better to do the right thing for humanity than for your bottom line.

I've updated the banquet list. If you're name isn't on it, it's assumed you won't be there. Please contact me immediately if you're name should be on the list.

What is that supposed to mean?

Outstanding!!

You know, I made a mistake when I quoted that price when I made the video. When I buy in bulk, the skirts last me for about 10 years. So I didn't check the current price before I made that video. I was wrong then, and even more now. You can still get them for about $30-$40 for a 100 count, depending on the source. Some may charge as much as $50 (.50 cents each), but you can find deals if you shop around.

BassResource.com to Host Raffles at Annual RoadTrip Fishing Event, Tackle the Storm Foundation to Receive Proceeds Win a ½-day fishing trip with bass pro Charlie Ingram April 4, 2014 – The 9th annual BassResource.com RoadTrip will take place on Wilson Lake located in northwest Alabama April 30-May 5. The RoadTrip is open to members of BassResource’s forums. On top of spending four full days of fishing this tremendous smallmouth fishery, the trip is so much more than catching bass. It is about meeting people who share a common bond, learning how to become better anglers and supporting Tackle the Storm Foundation with proceeds from two raffles. The first raffle, scheduled for Wednesday, April 30, is a ½-day fishing trip with bass angler and TUF-Line pro staffer Charlie Ingram. One lucky RoadTrip attendee who participates in the raffle will get to fish with Ingram the following afternoon on Lake Wilson. Ingram, fishing legend and co-host of the Outdoor Channel's Fishing University, has posted four B.A.S.S. wins, two FLW championships, and has fished in eight BASSMASTER Classics. In the history of B.A.S.S., only 11 pros have posted back-to-back victories --Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Charlie Ingram, John Powell, Gary Klein, Jim Bitter, Mike McClelland, Denny Brauer, Shaw Grigsby, Dean Rojas and Davy Hite. And, one of the highlights of his fishing career came when he was asked to take both Presidents George Bush- Jr. & Sr. out fishing. Following the fishing trip, Ingram will present a 30-minute seminar on TUF-Line’s new Tournament 8 braid fishing line as well as discuss HeviCore and SuperCast lines. “We want to thank Charlie Ingram and TUF-Line for taking a leading role in supporting the 2014 RoadTrip and Tackle the Storm Foundation,” said Glenn May, BassResource.com founder and owner. “Allowing us to raffle off a fishing trip with a fishing legend at our event is really special and one RoadTrip attendee will have the experience of a lifetime.” The second raffle is scheduled to take place Saturday, May 3 during the RoadTrip evening banquet. BassResource.com will be raffling off donations from businesses in the fishing industry. 100-percent of the proceeds will be donated to Tackle the Storm Foundation. Every $5 donated to Tackle the Storm Foundation buys a child a rod and reel. Tackle the Storm Foundation is a 501 © (3) charity established by outdoor writer Don Barone in response to the catastrophic tornado that hit Joplin, Mo., Sunday, May 22, 2011. Tackle the Storm Foundation is supported by the generous donations made by individuals and corporate partners including BassResource.com. May, and his wife, Keri, are founding board members of Tackle the Storm Foundation. Attendees may purchase a maximum of 15 tickets at $10 each for the Charlie Ingram raffle. Tickets will be sold at the RoadTrip’s Wednesday evening opening reception to be held at the Lakeside Conference Center at Doublehead Resort located in Town Creek, Ala.

The bottom one uses a screw-in plug. You should be able to find one at a local boat shop.

If you're going to buy a boat, a trailer, a truck, gas, rods, reels, line, and a tackle box stocked better than your refrigerator... YOU MIGHT AS WELL FISH. Don't let a little rain keep you away!

Spring is here, and that means the fish will be shallow. That's when the Yum Dinger really shines! Give them a try this spring. You won't be disappointed! Check them out!

This is turning into a He Said, She Said circular argument. Take it to PM's guys and hash it out there if you want to keep going round and round..

There's been another multiple shooting at Ft. Hood. Sounds like 1 confirmed dead and multiple injuries.

Really guys? I hate it when I have to treat grown adults like children. Geez folks, who gives a crap about who owns what? It makes no difference in my boat, nor should it with you. There's bigger things to worry about. Simple. Let's move on.

Yep, I've used it a lot. It's great line. Super strong and easy to cast. It's not wirey like other braids. The coating can sometimes come off, but it doesn't affect the strength of the line at all. The coating helps improve casting by enabling the line to glide through the eyelets. That's its sole purpose. So it won't hurt it if it wears off. If it bothers you, just cut the line above it and keep fishing.
