Yet another great interview. Loved the duck story. If had an opportunity to fish with any Elite angler Shaw would be my pick.

ROFL ! ;D

Threw it for an hour at sunset tonight and nailed three more fish. The water clarity in my lake cleared significantly from last week and the fish were a little more active with the coming full moon. I am starting to believe in this lure. Strong suggest swap out hooks.

I have a coil of 50 lb test mono, I clip the line at an angle and punch it through the plastic and hook eye.

I got the shallow diver and popper in mail today. Threw the shallow diver for an hour around sunset and only nailed one fish on it. Not a huge fan on it yet, guessing one of my rc 1.5's might have outfished it today. The bill and hooks appear a little cheap to me. Time will tell....

My favorite was made by Horizon spinnerbaits, then Terminator bought out the company and bye bye favorite :'( Terminator then made a similar model but it just isn't as effective as the stainless wire for me. I really think the stainless wire put out some great vibes.

Wow, great interview. Seems to put Mike in a different light compared to much of the ESPN coverage. I was happy to see Skeet win the BMC but am now rooting for Mike to take Angler of the Year.

California- this fish is for you !!! Exciting finish, too bad ESPN did not place enough value on this to make it live.

This is a private lake not subject to DFG regs (not defined as public waters )

It took about fifteen minutes to get her in, made multiple sizzling long runs, every time I got her close she burned right out. Took at least ten minutes to get color. As for the fly box, I only tie the simple patterns for now. The dragon flies are a blast in the late summer, many bass will even smash them midair while the loop has just turned over.

I had to post this for fivepoundbluegill, yet another carp repatriated from my bass lake ! This one went 26 lbs , caught it on 4 lb (p-line evolution) test. Size 8 hook, flylined corn, Quantum pti 10, Daiwa ultralight. Caught 2/14/09 :-* http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j115/pzoch/?action=view&current=valentinefish.jpg http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j115/pzoch/?action=view&current=valentinecarp017.jpg

I can't imagine cutting off a prong. I hate missing fish and have noticed a noticeable difference with even a prong bent wrong. I agree you have got to throw in the thick stuff, but that is what a plug knocker is for- I estimate I get over 95% of my snagged cranks back with it.

I think your first cat looks like it is laughing ;D He was probably surprised he was taken on the carp bait. Nice fish

Dottie is not dead, Jed and the boys just had a little fun with a Sharpie and a floater. I just saw Elvis fishing for her just last week.

The baitmonkey in my closet has gone into a serious 18 month coma. Thanks Governator :'(

bloop-blop-bloop-blop-bloop-blop-bloop-blop-bloop-blop-BLAM !!!! I love this at night. Had them blast it a foot away from my rod tip. Hooks do suck, I always replace with triple grips. A lot of these fish come right on the bank.

Some of the best underwater footage since Glen Lau's "Bigmouth"

The flying lure was the bomb on nesting fish.

I have busted the lips on a few Lucky Craft RC 1.5's.... >

Banging a crank on cover definitely will catch a lot of fish, but if cover is tough to bounce consider throwing a few "bumps" in the retrieve. Often this change in direction is the trigger for the bite.

A Kistler LTA flippin stick and a nice CHARGERS hat. (Sorry Quinn, Broncos going down)

Or remember Fish Fishburne ? Dude was a crack up. Miss his show as well.

I have had two great experiences with Cabelas's. The first one was I had a fly rod "apparently" delivered to my door by USPS, the mail man swore he left it there but I never got it. I called Cabela's to see if it was insured and they stated no problem, we'll send you a new one. Was expecting a load of claim forms and denials from post office but never had to deal with it. Second I got a fly box in which the doors didn't close properly, asked if I could send it back. Very friendly lady just said don't worry about it, well send you a new one. I have never dealt with customer service folks so friendly. Sadly I think some folks might take advantage of their policies though.

I did get an email about the new Marshall program with the Elite series. If I lived near the tournaments I would be trying that for sure. Unfortunately it appears B.A.S.S. will be leaving CA off the tour again....I guess Clear Lake had too many hogs to film >
