Probably another citica 200, a few new swimbaits, some random lures I want and a new lighter and cutter that are actually useful.

Bunch of New Fish Pics
dude go for it! its so much fun! I would it's just I have too many other expensive hobbies and not enough spare time to take care of the tank and stuff. :-[ Maybe if I come across a free one somewhere. A while back someone at my work was giving away a free 55 gallon tank because they couldn't take it with them when they moved and I didn't even think about it at the time otherwise I would've jumped all over that!

Desktop PC recommendations needed
I remember reading somewhere that desktops will outlast a laptop by like 2 years? And the laptops usually have an average life span of 3 years i think? I'm not sure i can't remember but anyways my sister and mom both have that dell inspiron as well as my girlfriend and they seem to have trouble quite a bit and my gateway is running as good as new. It definitely doesn't look as good as dell and it seems to be made poorly but it runs great and I use it for everything that you said, itunes, youtube videos browsing the internet. That kind of stuff.

Finally went Jig fishing...
Haha this is what who you reminded me of when i read your post. Anyways congrats on the outing! Did you lose those fish from the line breaking or they just came off? If they just came off try trimming up the weedgaurd a little bit and it might help.

shaky head assistance
I've found nothing to be better than the Luck E Strike finesse round shakey heads in a 1/16 with a 4 in senko type plastic on it, i use the BPS stik-os in watermelon with chartreuse tail. It will catch tons of numbers but it's rare to catch big ones on it but it's still a good go to bait for when you just want to catch some fish. Oh and I use a spinning rod as it's a really light lure so it's a lot easier to just use spinning gear.

New Trokar Hooks- World's Sharpest!
I saw them then did this number right here.. I didn't think anyone would pay that much for hooks. I haven't had any problems with what I'm using to the point where it would drive me to spend 2.50 on a single hook.

Best Pond Jigs?
No I will use paca chunks, rage tail chunks, and rage tail craws. When I'm using the chunks on smaller jigs I will trim the skirt up a bit but if I'm using the rage tail craws I'll usually leave the skirt alone and just trim the weedgaurd a hair.

Yessir! Sorry for making you read all that... :

Please show me where someone bought a brand new Terminator for under 30 grand... I beg you! lol, in your last post you said something about the GT500 being so overprice its not even funny, well what do you think the Terminators were back in 03-04???? Let me tell you, they were overpriced... Come on man, just do a little research before you start posting nonsense... The Mach 1 maybe a nice car, but to me its just a re badged mustang with a little more horse power... I mean come on Ford had to put forced induction to keep up with Chevy, Pontiac, and Dodge. You also said "beating a Mach 1 might be true if your racing 16 year olds with daddys car". To tell you the truth I think my sister can beat a Mach 1 giving her about a week to practice. You also said ANYBODY that knows ANYTHING about cars obviously know weight/hp makes a difference. Thats why Ford decided to put a 305hp/320ft tq in a car that weighs 3465lbs, and Pontiac decided to put 400hp/400ft tq in a 3700 lbs car. Also to help you out 1 tenth of a second equals 1 car length at the track. So if we were magazine racing your Mach 1 would be down 4 cars to the GTO, and WS6...

I agree my GTO would smoke any stock Mach 1, GT and most modded GT's. The only thing Ford made worth anything in 03-04 was the Terminators... What year is your GTO? Those newer ones not 2010 new but like 04s or w/e they had were a disgrace to GTO's that were made back in the day. I have a hard time believing you SMOKE mach 1s. I just looked up the manual 2010 GTO will run 13.8s in the quarter mile and the 2004 Mach 1s will run 13.2s. Not saying these are true of what you can do or someone better could do in the GTO but I'm saying the mach 1 driver would have to suck at driving for you to "smoke" him. I have had two 06's, and they were by FAR a disgrace. Just because Pontiac didnt go with the "retro" look doesnt mean it was a disgrace. They put plenty of power into the cars to make them a worthy contender on the street. They only made two models, one with a six speed manual tranny and a 4 speed auto. How many models of Mustangs are made that year? Well lets see, SLOW 6 banger that is on every corner, slow GT that is on every corner, just as slow builit, little faster Mach 1 and the very impressive Terminator. You tell me one car out of the box that you can get for under 30 grand or right at 30 that can run high 12's in 04-06? Not the Terminators, Shelby definitely bent people over on price on that one, not the Mach 1... I am not to sure where you got the 13.8 1/4 mile time? They stopped making GTO's in 06 and unfortunately Pontiac is no more. Maybe you are mistake with the G8?? Which the G8 would still beat any stock GT... Or maybe you were thinking of the G8 GXP which runs 12.9 flat in the 1/4 which would put the Mach 1 in its place, or the Regular G8 GT which runs a 13.2 in the 1/4 mile which runs right with the Mach 1? Sorry for the rant, I just hate it when people talk about cars that dont know what they are really talking about... Man i need to quit reading this post. I have NO idea what bs site I got the imaginary 2010's GTOs specs from but obviously i don't keep up with gtos or pontiacs or gms for that matter and it's been forever since I've been to the track. I just know I've never seen a GTO "smoke" a mach 1. GT500s are so overpriced it's upsetting. I'm done "ranting" now.

GTO is pathetic by no means, I was exaggerating quite a bit when i said a disgrace. It is an impressive car but the value isn't what it should be. It appeared to me that you thought Mach 1s were junk and GTOs are far superior which I of course being a mustang fan will get defensive. Modded is a whole nother story, besides the 04 cobra only being around 20k for over 400 to the wheel, stock stock the GTO will beat a mach but not "smoke"

Hahaha you mean gran turismo doesn't count as knowing anything about cars?! ;D I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm out in a garage working on these guys knowing exactly what they can do. I have been to the drag strip with a few mustang enthusiasts and seen what those GTO can do stock, and I've seen what a Mach 1 can do stock/modded on the strip anything more you know more than me, mainly because you OWN one of the cars your talking about. But from what I have seen, similar skilled drivers racing, 9.9 times out of 10 GTOs will always come ahead stock v stock. But you can NOT sit there and say the 03-04 cobra was the only good car ford made and the ONLY reason you SMOKE machs is because you are obviously far better of a driver than them.

Not saying these are true of what you can do or someone better could do in the GTO but I'm saying the mach 1 driver would have to suck at driving for you to "smoke" him. come on, anyone that knows anythign about cars knows you can't compare magazine 1/4 mile times and call it a day. 13.8 in a 6.0 GTO is a pretty crappy time. I know a guy with just headers running low 12's in a manual 6.0. Majority of good drivers are somewhere in the low 13 range, and some people have hit 12's bone stock. Also, to your other post, you have to look at WEIGHT as well as hp. Power to weight ratio is more important than hp, as well as looking at the full power band. If a car makes 30 more peak whp, but the rest of the power band the other car has the advantage, that 30 peak means nothing. This is why a car like a lotus with 185-210 hp blows away cars with double the power. Anyone that knows ANYTHING about cars knows that the gto is not at all what it should be. It's pretty sad that it runs lows 13s maybe 12s stock. When a mach 1 runs low 13s stock. It all depends on the driver which anyone that knows ANYTHING about cars know. You "SMOKING" Mach 1 might be true if your racing 16 year olds with daddys car. You know that, and I know that. The terminator is an 04 that can hit twelves in WELL under 30k. The newer GTOs are NOT a big deal. Anyone that knows ANYTHING about cars obviously know weight makes a difference. Which is why civics and ricers think they're the shht. Point is, your "gto" is not a bad a$$ machine. Sorry!

Hahaha an 03 mach 1 STOCK will keep up with a STOCK ws6 trans am until you get into thirdish. A 03 Cobra will smoke the poor little ws6. I love those 02 ws6's but as far as the better engine the ford 32v v8 is just an amazing engine. The 03 cobra can be had at around 18k put about 2k into it and you have a car pushing 500 to the wheel. What other GM car can you get for 20 k and be pushing that much power? Kill them was going to the extreme. Ford messed up with the 2000-2004 GTs but built extremely good Mach 1s and cobras in 03 and 04. Not to mention I love ws6 trans ams, but come one did they not have any creativity back then? Every body style looked the same which is UGLY.

Who makes decent wallets?
You realize the money goes IN the wallet, not ON the wallet. ;D No joke 350 dollars for a wallet?! That's like my girlfriend spending that much on purses. I can make a wallet last the last one I had lasted 2 years! And it was like 15 dollars on sale I'm not sure how much this new one I have was though, but there's no way it's only lasting a year.

power/weight lol... But looks like a fun truck nonetheless, and is a good choice for pulling the boat around. Looks like you have other toys to go fast in. what blower do you have on it? I love the sound of a blown car. Oh yeah it's music to my ears. Youtube an 04 Mustang Cobra those things will scream when you get on them sounds amazing.
