Enjoy your day. Happy Thanksgiving!

Seems at least one person using IE7 (from AOL) is now having problems with menus at the very top of the pages here. Anyone else with IE7 seeing the same thing? I think the net/net here is to wait until the first service patch is released before downloading it. Seems with most softward, the service patches fix all the bugs that should have been fixed before releasing it.

The sale is back on! Just in time for Christmas! http://www.bassresource.com/mm5/merchant.mvc Enjoy!

Just a note to let y'all know - the shirt is on sale right now for 50% off! In fact EVERYTHING is half-off right now!

These articles should help you! http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/bass_structure.html http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/tree_structure.html Enjoy!

Outstanding! I'm glad this site is accomplishing what I hoped it would do: Have something for both beginners and advanced anglers alike, plus be a place where people can meet and exchange ideas and information with each other. It's become all that and more, thanks in large part to all of you. I think Avid said it best: We are the people! P.S. Lane - Thanks for the help. I look forward to hearing what you find out. Can't wait until Fork!

Outstanding Nick! Congratulations!

Hi Lady Bass, The link is to your mailbox. We can't access it. I found it on the Web, however: http://home.comcast.net/~brianhuard/If_I_Die_Before_You_Wake.pps You have to download it first. It loads in Microsoft PowerPoint. If you don't wish to download it, or don't have PowerPoint, you can see it here: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2746101

Thank you, Lady bass and the members of this forum. Class acts all around!

This is an excellent idea, Avid. Can't say enough about you and the men who have stepped forward to post. I, for one, HATE going to the doctor, but you guys have changed my mind. Because of you, I'm going to suck it up and quit being a baby about it and just get 'er done. This is a great thread. I'm going to make it a "sticky".

Nice to see the Hawks put one in the win column on Monday Night Football.

OUTSTANDING! Congratulations!

Hey that's my sister!

Thank you. We really appreciate the kind words.

Perhaps of interest: ASA Opposes Ban on Interstate Fish Shipments from Great Lakes Association asks USDA to rescind order banning shipments Alexandria, VA – November 2, 2006 – The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) opposes the recent ban on interstate shipments of several species of live fish from the Great Lakes. In an October 24, 2006, letter to the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Administrator, ASA asked that the ban be rescinded. “The American Sportfishing Association strongly supports appropriate fish disease prevention and control programs,” said ASA Vice President Gordon Robertson, “but we are concerned that this Order was not developed and implemented with the full participation of all affected government authorities and the sportfishing industry on which the Order will have a significant economic impact. VHS has been present for at least four years in the Great Lakes and numerous authorities are currently taking steps to develop an effective and collaborative control program.” Robertson further says, “Additionally, ASA is concerned that implementing a hasty and poorly coordinated Order impacting the major stakeholders and authorities with resource management responsibilities and major economic interests, does not advance sound resource management with the appropriate and effective controls.” The purpose of the ban is to attempt to limit the spread of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) to aquaculture facilities. To view the order and the list of species affected go to http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/aqua/. VHS is a saltwater virus and has been blamed for the deaths of several species of fish in the Great Lakes such as sheepshead, musky and round gobies. VHS has been present in the Great Lakes system for at least four years and the lack of consultation by APHIS prior to issuing the ban has caused great concern among Great Lakes states state fishery managers. Managers are addressing this problem through cooperative efforts through the multi-jurisdictional Great Lakes Fisheries Health Committee. The states affected are: Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin. In addition, importation from the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec of the same species are not permitted. Unless rescinded, the order, issued under the authority of the Animal Health Protection Act, will remain in effect until APHIS puts in place an Interim Rule that is expected to establish testing and certification criteria for susceptible species. APHIS estimates publication of the Interim Rule to occur by spring 2007. The impacts of the ban could be far ranging because it affects trading of game fish species between state fishery agencies. There is also a significant impact on the bait fish market that depends on the interstate transport of a number of popular baitfish such as emerald shiners and fathead minnows. The American Sportfishing Association is the sportfishing industry's trade association, uniting more than 650 members of the sportfishing and boating industries with state fish and wildlife agencies, federal land and water management agencies, conservation organizations, angler advocacy group and outdoor journalists. The American Sportfishing Association safeguards and promotes the enduring social, economic, and conservation values of sportfishing.

I caught a beaver that way once. And let me tell you what - once is enough!

As with anything - fishing or not - if it works for you and you like it, go for it!

Nothing changed on our end.

Welcome home.

No worries Dave. You and I go back a few years, so I know it wasn't intentional. Glad to hear your site is back up again. Congrats! Regards, Glenn

I can't really believe this, but I think we may have another one folks. Above you state your digital Camera took a crap because it got wet. Yesterday you said that your sister took your digitial camera to college. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1161307454 Another one what? I bought a chepo at the mall for like 60.00 to take on a trip with my uncle and it got wet from the rain of all things! The wifes camera is the one that to go on a field trip to Penn State! LOL I think I'm pretty much Cut-Off with the family's cameras. Ya know what? I just read through this post.. Why are you guys so apt to judge every one? Are you insecure or was you abused as a child, whats the problem? I'm not sure either, but if you are interested in talking about fishing to a good christian man than I'm right here but if all your gonna do is cause trouble and bellyache over a few words then GO GET A LIFE! I normally don't get involved with these things, but here you state it's a cheap $60 camera that got wet, but just look up a bit, and you state, "I dont have a digital camera anymore since my 300 dollar digital camera took a crap cause it got wet this summer and anyway I don't lie." Not sure what to believe anymore. :-/ I'm not saying you're a liar. I am merely pointing out that you're contradicting yourself. Perhaps a little clarification is in order.

Lane, Count my wife and I in for a day or half day with you and yours. Live bait or artificials, either way is fine. Just name the time and place and we'll be there!

I use the B.A.S.S. rubber net available through Bass Pro Shops. Excellent net. As an added benefit, tt's telescopic and hooks don't get tangled.

Just a note - I know it was mentioned 6 pages ago, but just a reminder that this is NOT a tournament. Just a fun get -together and a chance to meet the fine folks on these forums. The response is outstanding! The wife and I will be there. We'll bring a few rods and a little tackle, but not the boat (too far away). I'm thinking about hiring a guide, but I'd MUCH rather fish with forum members. Perhaps we could split the cost with somebody? This is going to be GREAT!
