At times, bass can have a hard time staying vertical in the livewell, or swimming back down after you release them. In the livewell, they may float on their side or even upside down. This is very stressful on the fish. And can be lethal if not fixed after 30 mins. This is caused by the fish's inability expel air from the air bladder (the air bladder, or "swim bladder", is used to help the fish maintain neutral buoyancy). It most often happens on fish caught from deep water, but can happen to fish caught in shallow water. Keep in mind it doesn't happen all the time. So don't assume a fish caught in deep water automatically has an issue. A common way to fix the problem, is to "fizz" the fish, which is poking a large guage needle into the air bladder, and allowing the air to vent through the needle. The goal is to relieve just enough pressure to help the fish regain his equilibrium, but not empty the bladder so much that the fish drops to the bottom. Here's a video that explains the problem, and how to fizz a fish properly: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/how-to-fizz-a-bass.html Alternatively, you can use weighted clips that attach to the fins on the bottom of the fish h when they're in the livewell. This is a good first defense - something worth trying within the first few minutes of noticing the issue. This calms the fish down and gives them a shot a fixing the issue themselves. However, if they still turn on their side without the clips after 30 mins, then it's time to fizz.

There are just some things you should know. In particular, if it's something that you claim bothers you. Here in Washington State there's a major battle brewing over genetically modified foods. Whether or not they're labeled is at the heart of it, but some folks have their dander up because the very thought of genetically modifying food is a bit of an apocalyptic nightmare to them. Sounds a little too 'sci- fi' for their comfort... and on some level it does sound sci- fi. It's also a former and current reality... and you've been eating GMF's for most of your life. Seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, bananas, broccoli, papayas, most sugars, wheat and soy products are genetically modified... and have been for decades. Then there's more trivial and abundantly more obvious things you should know. Back in 2007, current Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was drafted by the Buffalo Bills. Since Buffalo is in New York (state) Lynch believed (in his own words) that he'd be hanging out with Jay- Z... who lives in New York CITY. Buffalo is almost 400 miles away from NYC. And 'actress' Julianne Hough issued an apology last weekend after attending a muckety- muck Halloween party in Beverly Hills. She showed up in black- face. Guess she never got the 135 year- old memo. Nobody is perfect and no one knows everything, but: WHAT DID YOU JUST RECENTLY FIND OUT THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY KNOWN?

Bishop Franz- Peter Tebatz- van Elst is better known in the Catholic community as the "Bishop of Bling". Let's just say that 'piety' and 'humility' aren't this guy's strong suits and earlier this week he was suspended by Pope Francis for his extravagances. Namely, the Pope is a little PO'd because the 'Bishop of Bling' recently spent $55 MILLION dollars on renovations to his official residence. He'd been approved to spend $7.5 million, but he overspent by a mere $47.5 million. But then, who among us doesn't need a $20,000 bathtub, or a $35,000 conference table or a $1,000,000 garden? Those are just a few of the things the Bishop "had" to have. On that note, a friend of mine just spent $80 earlier today on a hot dog roller for the office... because he "needs" it. He'd been talking about it for weeks and finally made it a reality. He had to have it.... just like a disco ball, theremin, fog machine, suit of armor, and fuzzy Uncle Sam hat. Yep. leads to today's question: WHAT DUMB THING DID YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HAVE TO BUY?

Dangit Wayne... I hate it when you have a great idea! Really it's not as simple as using the search box. Ya, it's a quick hit, but it doesn't return results for anything older than 2 years old. You have to go to the advanced search and select "archives" for that. That's just one tip. There's more. It would be a good tutorial. I'll work on making one, as I'm the only one that really knows how it works end-to-end. Glenn P.S. Gotta do the Roadtrip video first. So be patient.

Ok guys, take your beer goggles off. Let's stop the talk about pointing a weapon at and/or firing said weapon at a person. Let's take it down a notch. btw - that garbage that comes from PETA is designed to ruffle your feathers and get under your skin. Don't let them win. This is just hot air and hype designed to get them attention. Nothing more than that. Let it go and don't give them the gratification.

One officer will be ok. More info and live blogging as details unfold here: http://blogs.sacbee.com/crime/archives/2013/10/press-tribune-roseville-officer-injured-manhunt-underway.html

Happening right now. There's a sniper in Roseville CA shooting cops. They have him cornered, but he's shooting at cops, so they can't get to him. No info on the condition of the officers yet. Dozens of law enforcement agencies are taking part in a manhunt in southern Roseville after an ICE officer was shot Friday afternoon. The officer was with ICE's Homeland Security Investigations while conducting a joint enforcement action with investigators from the Roseville Police Department, according to ICE.

I missed this thread yesterday. Happy Belated Wayne!

Hmm....no jackplate? Meaning the motor is mounted directly to the transom? That could be the issue right there. Without an offset of 4-10", you will have all sorts of handling issues - porpoising and chine walking the most notable. At the very least, raise your motor, meaning mount it higher (not trim it up). I'd fathom a bet it's too low right now.
